Downloading pipeline artifact generated by task fails

[slushysnowman]

The dependency check task automatically publishes a pipeline artifact with the name 'Dependency Check' which contains the reports

We want to download this artifact later on in the pipeline - however, upon download we get the following error:

Download from the specified build: #931865
Download artifact to: /home/vsts/work/1/Dependency Check
Using default max parallelism.
Max dedup parallelism: 192

##[error]Invalid hex string #/35228788/dependency-check (Parameter 'hex')
Finishing: Validate dependency check artifact has been published

My assumption is that this is due to the space in the artifact name (this could be incorrect). I created my own pipeline artifact with the same files and name it 'dependency-check' and was able to download the artifact with no issues.

Potential solutions cloud be:

• Make it possible to turn off artifact publishing, and let people publish artifacts themselves
• Change name of published artifact

Alternatively, if someone knows how to get artifact download to work please let me know!
