Hello you must take a look at a script named get-last-successful-build-artifact.sh and developed by morph027.

https://gitlab.com/morph027/gitlab-ci-helpers

This script allow to download an artifact and unzip it in the project root. It use Gitlab API to retrieve latest successful build and download corresponding artifact. You can combine multiple artifacts and unzip wherever you want just by updating the script a little.

I'm also currently starting a PHP library to handle build artifacts but it's in a very early stage and tied with laravel for the moment.

For the moment there is no easy way to handle artifact usage between projects, you must build your own using that tools.

I think using shell executor is not the right solution, it's very dangerous because you can't verify the file on the server used during the build !

Hope this help :)
