Unzip Cannot Find Any Matches For Wildcard Specification Stage Components -

If the script runs inside a minimalist shell environment or if the previous build step failed to generate the artifact in the expected directory, the unzipping step will crash with the wildcard specification error. Always ensure your automation scripts use the quoted format ( unzip "*.zip" ) to make them resilient against shell differences.

for zipfile in *.zip; do unzip "$zipfile" done

This approach gives you more control and clearer error handling than trying to pass multiple wildcards directly to unzip .

It blocks the execution entirely and throws an error (very common in Zsh, the default shell on macOS). If the script runs inside a minimalist shell

For more complex wildcard scenarios, the find command can help you locate and process files:

If your directory structure is:

A backslash can also be used to prevent shell expansion: It blocks the execution entirely and throws an

If you have quoted the wildcard and still receive an error, the file truly does not exist in your current directory. Verify your location and pathing: Print your current directory: pwd Use code with caution. List files to confirm the target archive is present: ls -la stage_components* Use code with caution.

$ unzip '*.zip'

project/ |-- stage/ |-- components/ |-- your-component.zip List files to confirm the target archive is

unzip -Z archive.zip | grep -i stage

The -W option in unzip controls whether wildcards match directory separators ( / ). By default, they do match, which means unzip archive.zip '*.txt' would match .txt files in all subdirectories. If your system behaves differently, check your unzip version and consider using -W to modify this behavior.
