Download all files from all artifacts (artifact names) except from one in AzureDevOps YAML pipelines

I have a pipeline with with some stages like

Build -> Dev -> Test -> Prod

The build stage generate some nugets for different parts of the system. As this happen in different jobs, a couple of artifact names is published like:

server\server.nupkg
client\client.nupkg
auth\auth.nupkg

Those are then consumed in the following stages that dowload, apply variable substitution to some configs and publish a new nuget configured to an environment as a drop.

For example the test stage has one job that transform the config in the needed nuget and publish that as an pipeline artifact. So at that point the artifacts for the hole pipeline looks like:

server\server.nupkg
client\client.nupkg
auth\auth.nupkg
Test
  server.nupkg
  client.nupkg
  auth.nupkg

When it comes to the prod stage i want to download all *.nupkg from all artifact names except from the Test artifact name.

I've tried to use an exclude patterns in the 'DownloadPipelineArtifact' task like this but no success:

- task: DownloadPipelineArtifact@2
  displayName: Download nugets
  inputs:
    buildType: 'current'
    itemPattern: |
      '*/*.nupkg'
      '!Test'
      '!Test/*.nupkg'
    targetPath: '$(MyDirectory)/nugets'

Any ideas?

If server, client, auth and Test are different artifacts then you should be able to either download the first three separately or do it in a single task invocation by using "exclude" file matching pattern with first segment being the artifact name. See Publish and download artifacts in Azure Pipelines | Multiple artifacts.

Example #1, download artifacts separately:

- download: current
  artifact: server

- download: current
  artifact: client

- download: current
  artifact: auth

Although, based on the current docs, the following example is supposed to work, it doesn't. It looks like the docs are incorrect. See this issue for details:

Example #2, download artifacts using file matching patterns:~~

Note double asterisk for recursive wildcard and the absence of the quotes that would be included literally in the multiline YAML string otherwise.

- download: current
  patterns: |
    **/*.nupkg
    !Test/**
