How to configure Artifactory plugin development

• Link any plugins to be worked on in the etc/plugins directory (see readme there), or
• If you are using the artifactory-user-plugins repository, paste that path into gradle.properties
• If you want to use an older version of Artifactory, or download it from a different source, edit gradle.properties accordingly

NOTE: This supports Linux and Mac OS X platforms, Windows OS is not supported!

All of the configuration happens with Gradle tasks:

1. To set up your IDE, type: ./gradlew idea (or ./gradlew eclipse)
2. Copy your artifactory.lic license into the local-store directory
3. To download and configure Artifactory: ./gradlew prepareArtPro
4. To start Artifactory: ./gradlew startArtPro

If you are using the artifactory-user-plugins repository:
To link a plugin: ./gradlew workOnPlugin -DpluginName=plugin/name
To unlink a plugin: ./gradlew stopWorkOnPlugin -DpluginName=plugin/name
To unlink all plugins: ./gradlew stopWorkOnPlugin -DpluginName=all

Then you can run the tests present in artifactory-user-plugins-devenv/src/test/groovy using your IDE, or with ./gradlew test.

To stop Artifactory: ./gradlew stopArtPro
To restart Artifactory: ./gradlew restartArtPro
To erase all Artifactory storages: ./gradlew cleanArtPro

Artifactory will be configured with the Artifactory Pro license present in the local-store folder, a representative set of repositories, and will poll the plugins directory for updates every 10 seconds.

Logging can be printed to the logs from within the plugin (with log.warn) and viewed by tailing the artifactory.log file, as user plugins are compiled at runtime. A basic example would be:

storage {
        beforeMove{item, targetRepoPath, properties ->
                 log.warn "triggered !";
        }
}

(For checking whether the beforeMove event was triggered)
