I&#39;m using GitLab CI to build a C# solution and try to pass some build artifacts from one build stage to another.

The problem is, that the artifacts are not located in a single directory but in different subdirectories, which however all have the same names `bin/` or `obj/`.

My `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like the following:

    ...
    stages:
      - build
      - test
    
    build:
      stage: build
      script:
        CALL %MSBuild% ...
      artifacts:
        paths:
          - /**/bin/
          - /**/obj/
        expire_in: 6 hrs

    test:
      stage: test
      dependencies:
        - build
      ...

I tried to capture the artifacts using different ways, e.g.

    **/bin/
    **/obj/

(invalid syntax), or

    .*/bin/
    .*/obj/

but that one did not find any artifacts, just as `/**/bin/` and `/**/obj/`, giving me following errors:

    Uploading artifacts...
    WARNING: /**/bin/: no matching files
    WARNING: /**/obj/: no matching files

**How can I specify a subdirectory pattern to be scanned for artifacts? Or is this even possible at all?**

Simply using

    artifacts:
      untracked: true

is not an option, because of a huge untracked `packages/` subdirectory, which causes artifacts upload to fail because of a too large archive:

    Uploading artifacts...
    untracked: found 4513 files                        
    ERROR: Uploading artifacts to coordinator... too large archive  id=36 responseStatus=413 Request Entity Too Large token=...
    FATAL: Too large
