Unable to Connect to Jfrog Artifactory SAAS instance

[sudhakarteki]

Hi Sir,

I am trying to configure Jfrog Artifactory SAAS instance using your plugin.

The package Repository configuration is done sucessfully but i get http 500 exception while try to configure the material in the pipeline.

Package Repository
Maven Repo URL - https://hcldevopscoe.jfrog.io/hcldevopscoe/
username - admin
password - *********

Material Configuration
Package Name* - MyPKG3
Group Id* - libs-release-local/com
Artifact Id* - AntSpringMVC
Packaging (jar,war,ear...)* - war

libs-release-local is the repository which contains com as the group id and antspringmvc as the package id.

Please let me know how to fix this issue

Hello there,

the URL should point to the repository directly, basically show a file list when you call it within a browser. It's the same URL you would use to include the repo within your Maven or Gradle project. I'm not sure how it'll look like, but my guess is it's https://hcldevopscoe.jfrog.io/hcldevopscoe/libs-release-local/ or something like this. Then the Group Id would be just com. Can you check that?

Hi Sir,

I have put the URL as "https://hcldevopscoe.jfrog.io/hcldevopscoe/libs-release-local" in the MAVEN-REPO Repository Configuration and i am getting HTTP Status 200 Error Message.

As per my knowledge the URL should be given as "https://hcldevopscoe.jfrog.io/hcldevopscoe/" but i dont know where to provide the repository name(libs-release-local) in the arguments .

I have tried another plugin(Generic Artifactory Poller) but it has got some issues in downloading the artifacts.

Ok, sorry I'm unfamiliar with the jfrog.io services, therefore it's hard for me to quickly help you. Basically you need to find the URL to a file called maven-metadata.xml within the artifact directory of your repository. Have a look here as an example https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/oneandone/snmpman/. Here the group id is com.oneandone and the artifact id is snmpman. You'll see the maven-metadata.xml listed there.

Maybe it's inside https://hcldevopscoe.jfrog.io/hcldevopscoe/com/ ? I'm not authorized to check that.. if so, just set the group id to com.

Otherwise is there a way to get the base URL of your repository? Maybe by downloading some Maven settings.xml and looking into it or something like that? Or is there some info or how-to page?
Can you browse for the AntSpringMVC artifact in the tree browser and check the URLs to the files?

Hi Sir,
I am able to see the maven-metadata.xml file in the AntSpringMVC folder.
I have attached the snapshot of my JFrog Artifactory instance which explains the group id and the artifact id structure.
The only challenge i have in configuring the artifactory instance is the plugin doesn't provide an option to mention the repository id(libs-releases-local)
The plugin currently supports only the onpremise version of Artifactory but not the cloud version.
Are there any chances of bringing the support to the cloud version.

As a last try, can you also check if you can access the remote browsing feature as described here https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Browsing+Artifactory#BrowsingArtifactory-RemoteBrowsing ?

I'll have a look into the main differences with the cloud version and will get back to you.

EDIT

There's also a download option for the maven-metadata.xml as you can see in the upper right corner of the screenshot, which will reveal some download URL. You may try to use that one without the /com/... part as the base URL in your case.

Please try release 1.1.4-alpha1 with the URL https://hcldevopscoe.jfrog.io/hcldevopscoe/libs-release-local . I just discovered an issue with the HTTP request. In case that check fails, you will find more information in the file plugin-maven-repo.log within the GoCD server directory / logging directory. I added some logging messages to debug the issue.

Hi Sir,

Thank you very much for providing the fix.

The alpha plugin now supports the cloud version of the JFROG Artifactory.

Now i am able to poll the artifacts and download them in to gocd agent machine.

Hi there,

I'm glad it worked and I could help you. 👍
I'll check the release for the other repos and if it'll work make a final build.
