TFS, is there a variable for the artifact zip file name?

Is there a way to get the artifact file name easily? Looks like TFS already knows this as shown in the log below:

No path specified for search pattern: *.zip defaulting to: F:\TFS2017_Release_Agent\_work\r1\a

2017-12-08T16:38:36.8519067Z Searching for: *.zip under directory: F:\TFS2017_Release_Agent\_work\r1\a

2017-12-08T16:38:36.8519067Z Found: 1 files to extract:

For others, I have to write a couple of lines to get the zip file name. ZFJ0_ServiceSearchPlusBuildDefn.DefinitionName is my {Artifact alias}:

$zipdir = "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\$(Release.Artifacts.ZFJ0_ServiceSearchPlusBuildDefn.DefinitionName)\$(Release.DefinitionName)"
Write-Host "zipfile directory: "$zipdir

$zipfile = Get-ChildItem -Filter *.zip "$zipdir"
Write-Host "zipfile : "$zipfile

An artifact isn't "a file". In your specific case, it is. But in general, an artifact can contain any number of files.

There is no way to retrieve the files present in an artifact, since an artifact can also be a pointer to a UNC share.
