CodeBuild artifact upload to S3 root

Question

Hi,  
I have a CodeBuild config that almost meets our requirements, except for a tiny detail.  
We need the artifacts to be uploaded to the S3 bucket root, not within a folder.   
  
The default behavior to place artifacts in a folder with the same name as the build seems very strong. I have managed to override that by using the 'name' attribute within 'artifacts' but I have found no way to set name to empty string. When doing
 `name: ''`
 the attribute is disregarded.   
  
Is there any way to make CodeBuild upload artifacts to the S3 bucket root?  
  
Thanks,  
Thomas Å.

Hi,  
  
I'm having the same problem, but in my case the contents are being wrapped in a folder "site/".  
  
I'm not sure where this folder is defined, and I've tried everything but it keeps putting the artifacts in that folder.  
  
Any help will be appreciated!  
  
Thanks,  
  
Amy  
  
EDIT: I solved it by setting both fields in the artefacts config (path, and name) as "."

Hi John,  
  
I thought I had tried
 `name: .`
 or
 `name: '.'`
 obviously not because it works fine.  
  
The web console does not fully understand . because the link to S3 includes a . prefix. Not a big deal.  
  
Many thanks for your help,  
Thomas Å.

Hi takesson,  
  
If you put a **.** in the name section of the artifacts it will place the artifacts in the root of the s3 bucket.  
  
Let me know if you have any other questions,
