Overview

JFrog CLI is a compact and smart client that provides a simple interface that automates access to Artifactory, Bintray and Mission Control through their respective REST APIs. By using the JFrog CLI, you can greatly simplify your automation scripts making them more readable and easier to maintain. Several features of the JFrog CLI makes your scripts more efficient and reliable:

• Multi-threaded upload and download of artifacts make builds run faster
• Checksum optimization reduces redundant file transfers
• Wildcards and regular expressions give you an easy way to collect all the artifacts you wish to upload or download.
• "Dry run" gives you a preview of file transfer operations before you actually run them

Download and Installation

You can download the executable directly using the JFrog CLI Download Page, or install it with npm, homebrew or docker.

NPM

npm install jfrog-cli-go

Homebrew

brew install jfrog-cli-go

Docker

docker run docker.bintray.io/jfrog/jfrog-cli-go:latest jfrog <COMMAND>

Building the Executable

JFrog CLI is written in the Go programming language, so to build the CLI yourself, you first need to have Go installed and configured on your machine.

Install Go

To download and install Go, please refer to the Go documentation. Please download Go 1.14.x or above.

Download and Build the CLI

Navigate to a directory where you want to create the jfrog-cli project, outside the $GOPATH tree.

If the GOPATH variable is unset, it's default value is the go folder under the user home.

Verify that the GO111MODULE variable is either unset, or explicitly set to auto.

Clone the jfrog-cli project by executing the following command:

git clone https://github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli

Build the project by navigating to the jfrog folder and executing the following commands. On Unix based systems run:

cd jfrog-cli
build/build.sh

On Windows run:

cd jfrog-cli
build\build.bat

Once completed, you will find the JFrog CLI executable at your current directory.

Tests

Usage

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli [test-types] [flags]

The flags are:

Flag	Description
-rt.url	[Default: http://localhost:8081/artifactory] Artifactory URL.
-rt.user	[Default: admin] Artifactory username.
-rt.password	[Default: password] Artifactory password.
-rt.apikey	Artifactory API key.
-rt.accessToken	Artifactory access token.

The types are:

Type	Description
-test.artifactory	Artifactory tests

-test.maven	Maven tests
-test.gradle	Gradle tests
-test.docker	Docker tests
-test.go	Go tests
-test.pip	Pip tests
-test.nuget	Nuget tests

• Running the tests will create builds and repositories with timestamps, for example: cli-tests-rt1-1592990748 and cli-tests-rt2-1592990748.
  Once the tests are completed, the content of these repositories will be deleted.

Artifactory tests

In addition to general optional flags you can use the following optional artifactory flags.

Flag	Description
-rt.sshKeyPath	[Optional] Ssh key file path. Should be used only if the Artifactory URL format is ssh://[domain]:port.
-rt.sshPassphrase	[Optional] Ssh key passphrase.

Examples

To run artifactory tests execute the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.artifactory [flags]

Npm tests

Requirement

• The npm executables should be included as part of the PATH environment variable.

Limitation

• Currently, npm integration support only http(s) connections to Artifactory using username and password.

Examples

To run npm tests execute the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.npm [flags]

Maven tests

Requirements

• The M2_HOME environment variable should be set to the local maven installation path.
• The java executable should be included as part of the PATH environment variable. Alternatively, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Limitation

• Currently, maven integration support only http(s) connections to Artifactory using username and password.

Examples

To run maven tests execute the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.maven [flags]

Gradle tests

Requirements

• The gradle executables should be included as part of the PATH environment variable.
• The java executable should be included as part of the PATH environment variable. Alternatively, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Limitation

• Currently, gradle integration support only http(s) connections to Artifactory using username and password.

Examples

-rt.dockerTargetRepo	Artifactory Docker repository name.

Examples

To run docker tests execute the following command (fill out the missing parameters as described below).

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.docker -rt.dockerRepoDomain=DOCKER_DOMAIN -rt.dockerTargetRepo=DOCKER_TARGET_REPO [flags]

Go commands tests

Examples

To run go tests run the following command.

go test -v github.com/jfrog/jfrog-cli -test.go [flags]

Pip tests

Requirement

• Add Python and pip executables to the system search path (PATH environment variable).
• Pip tests must run inside a clean pip-environment. You can either activate a virtual-environment and execute the tests from within, or provide the path to your virtual-environment using the -rt.pipVirtualEnv flag.
• Run the following command:
