[cacieprins]

• Closes

Additional details

Rather than modifying our circle config files, we can now trigger artifact persistence via a manual Circle workflow invocation.

Steps to test

How has the user experience changed?

Note

Add a force-persist-artifacts pipeline parameter and update artifact persistence logic to honor it and simplify branch checks.

• CI/CircleCI:
  • Parameters: Add force-persist-artifacts (boolean, default false) to /.circleci/config.yml and /.circleci/src/pipeline/@pipeline.yml.
  • Artifact persistence: Update setup_should_persist_artifacts to set SHOULD_PERSIST_ARTIFACTS when force-persist-artifacts is true; otherwise persist on develop and release/* branches; remove legacy branch exception.

@cacieprins the mksnapshot command failed when I ran the pipeline? Do we need to configure something else additionally https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/cypress-io/cypress-publish-binary/16576/workflows/f5de6c49-b48a-4c9d-9f20-b7b05637e929/jobs/32056
