how to check if artifact exists gitlab

in gitlab I have a "job1" that sometimes does not start whatsoever due to various reason and I can't change that. When that job is skipped, then the artifacts for the job is not created.

My question is, is there a way for job2 to check if the artifact from job1 exists? It is not a question of whether or not we can fix job1 to make it always send the artifact, it is a question of how can I check if the "art.txt" file is there or not

if job1 create artifact art.txt fail, job1 status will fail. you can used dependencies, when job1 failure job2 will not start, maybe look like:

job1:
  stage: stage1
  script:
    - create art.txt
  artifact:
    paths:
      - art.txt

job2:
  stage: stage2
  script:
    - do something.
  dependencies:
    - job1

if job1 create artifact art.txt fail, job1 status will success. you can check art.txt status used shell script in job2 script section. look lik

job2:
  stage: stage2
  script:
    - |
      if [[ -f art.txt ]]; then 
        "is exist";
      else
        "is not exist";
        exit 1;
      fi;

  dependencies:
    - job1
