We are running our project builds from a Jenkins pipeline script (Jenkins 2.183, Artifactory Plugin 3.3.1) and uploading the build artifacts to Artifactory. We would now like to trigger the license checks and notification mails from Artifactory.
How can we trigger this check with the current plugin (preferable directly from the pipeline script)?
We also have an older Jenkins server that deploys to the same Artifactory instance. In that server we can trigger the license check as described here:
https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/License+Control#LicenseControl-BuildServerConfiguration
The Artifactory server must support the license check functionality as it works from this older build system, but with the new Jenkins server / Artifactory plugin this configuration option doesn't seem to be available and there is no reference to it in the plugin documentation. I can't find any mention of this functionality in the pipeline DSL documentation either.
In the changelog for the Artifactory Plugin is a change from 27.12.2018 that says:
Removed deprecated actions and APIs
Removed the following actions/APIs from both UI and code:
1. Bintray Publish Action.
2. License control.
3. Black Duck.
4. JenkinsXArtifactoryBuilderListener.
Unfortunately I can't find any information about why this was deprecated or what is supposed to replace the deprecated functionality.
License check functionality was replaced by Xray.
You can find the documentation for the new pipeline step here (declarative) or here (scripted).

One of our development teams have recently migrated their Maven project files from another version control system to Azure DevOps. However, a major caveat is that these Maven projects were created with no POM files (I have no idea why).
The project team have in any case managed to move all of their Maven packages into Azure Artifacts. When a release pipeline job is then run, it is then expected to retrieve the desired artifacts (*.war files) from Azure Artifacts, download to the agent's artifacts directory and subsequently deploy to the target server. The pipeline itself is completed successfully (all tasks set to green status), however when we review the output log, we discover that the artifacts were never downloaded and instead, the download task returns an "UnhandledPromiserejectionWarning". Any idea why this is happening?
So far, we've tried using CURL as an alternative to download the artifacts, but all has been in vain. Naturally, we've also tried and failed with the Azure Artifacts' dedicated "Download Package" pipeline task, but are willing to try an alternative solution, if anyone has some kind suggestions. Been wondering something like Powershell (or other script) can for instance be used to download the desired package files.
I must also mention that the CURL option only appears to fail over a failed OAuth authentication. Any advice on that front will also be helpful, as it is probably our quickest route to a workaround.
I had a similar issue, it turns out the problem was just the capital case.
The DownloadPackage task was trying to download 0.0.30-SNAPSHOT, but instead you can only download the package as 0.0.30-snapshot, as it states on the microsoft official docs.
In order to fix it, I had to install an external plugin, then add an additional task before download, that task was converting the name to lower case.
I was using the classical release pipeline, btw.
I've seen Building and deploying native code using Maven - but can't get this (very similar) deployment working as I'd like..
I have a C++ project that builds with Maven, and the Maven CMake Plugin. This involves several Maven profiles, to select the correct settings for the various C++ compilers I use on the platforms I'm building on. (Windows 10, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 7, Raspbian, macOS High Sierra). I use Jenkins to run this build on the various VMs/Raspberry Pi - yielding a .tar.gz or .zip via the Maven Assembly Plugin. The final result is six archive files, that vary in their classifier/type. They all have the same groupId/artifactId.
I wanted each of these jobs to deploy its archive to Sonatype's OSSRH Nexus system, using the nexus-staging-maven-plugin.
I had this plugin configured to not automatically close the repository, so that the multiple builds could run via Jenkins (sequentially), and deploy to the same repo. I would then review this in the web UI, then Release or Drop it appropriately.
This worked fine, when the project had a version number of 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT. However, when I decided to (manually) release this, by setting the version to 0.0.1, and run my Jenkins builds... the deployment behaviour was different to what I'd seen when it was a SNAPSHOT.
Each platform-specific deployment created its own staging repository in the OSSRH Snapshots repo.
After reading https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-maven-plugins/tree/master/staging/maven-plugin, I have tried a variety of these settings, but nothing seems to work:
<skipStagingRepositoryClose>true</skipStagingRepositoryClose>
<skipStaging>true</skipStaging>
<autoReleaseAfterClose>false</autoReleaseAfterClose>
<stagingRepositoryId>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-repo</stagingRepositoryId>
The nexus-staging:rc-open goal looks like it might help, allowing me to open a named staging repository (as I tried to do with stagingRepositoryId, above) - but it requires a staging profile id - I've used the rc-list-profiles goal to find mine - but when I give this to rc-open, it's reported as "missing or invalid".
It looks like this should be possible: https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-maven-plugins/blob/master/staging/maven-plugin/WORKFLOWS.md - this suggests that you can't create a new staging profile id; that they're allocated by Nexus.
Why is this mechanism different between SNAPSHOT and non-SNAPSHOT deployments?
Kind regards, Matt
I've updated https://stackoverflow.com/a/40954957/14731. Per point 6.6, SNAPSHOTs cannot be released atomically. There is no known workaround.
I've asked this question on Gitter, but answer directed me to the documentation I followed.
I'm administrator of TeamCity 2017.2.2 with agents running on Windows 10 (except one on 7). I installed allure-teamcity plugin version 2.6 and added allure tools in version 2.6 as described in the documentation.
The problem is the tool is propagated to the agent on upgrade, but not the plugin itself. Main server shows me the runner I can use as a build step, but once configured none of agents accept this configuration. I've checked agent directory and logs - the plugin is not there and logs doesn't indicate that there was even attempt to pull.
As a holder of commercial license I asked JetBrains technical support, but they told me I need to ask Allure authors. GitHub sends people to Gitter and here, hence the question after unlucky attempt on Gitter.
What do I need to do to get the plugin correctly pulled and working on agents?
Is allure plugin even compatible with TeamCity 2017.2.2?
The problem is that Allure TeamCity plugin looks for a tool called allure-commandline. So you need to make sure that allure-commandline.zip is present in your <TeamCity Data Directory>/plugins/.tools directory.
I have Jenkins version 2.7.1 running on a Windows 7 machine. It is successfully pulling code from a subversion repository and running tests. I have the test jobs set up for the development branch of each project only.
We periodically make stable releases of the projects in jar files with version numbers. I would like to have Jenkins be the repository manager for those stable releases. These are made by hand - There is no Jenkins job making or testing stable releases. The projects do use Maven.
Each stable build is tagged in the subversion repository, so it could be made again on demand if needed.
I downloaded the Maven repository server hoping to make this fit the purpose. I read the documentation that's provided, but it's pretty terse. As I understand it and have it configured now, this appears to have a couple of issues:
If I go to jenkins-ip/plugin/repository/project, it has made directories there that expose the names of all of my projects, which seems undesirable. (Here jenkins-ip is the IP where I access Jenkins on my local network.)
On the other hand, there's nothing but empty directories under these projects, so they're currently useless.
These projects all correspond to the continuous testing of the development branch. There's no apparent way to get the stable builds into the hierarchy. (It doesn't seem efficient to create a job for each stable release...)
Is there anyway to get Jenkins (with this plugin or through another method) to be the repository manager just for the stable builds? I know that I can start a different repository manager like archiva, but it would be ideal to use Jenkins since it's already running and it seems to claim capability for this function now.
To use Maven repository server you have to build the project on Jenkins.
Then the plugin will expose all archived artifacts as maven repo.
Note you need to use a "Maven project" type for it to work (freestyle is not supported)
There are several plugins that will help you manage building from multiple tags, however not all of them work with "Maven project" type.
You could also try Jenkins pipeline (previously "Workflow") or the Job-DSL plugin.
A simplest solution would be to have a build parameter specify the tag name (then checkout e.g. ^/tags/projectname/${tagParam}), but you have to figure out how to trigger the job then.
I want to collect the build metrics for a maven build (metrics like total time taken for the build, status of build SUCCESS or FAILURE, test results etc.,) and store it for analysis. All these information are available in the log but i need to collect it at the end of the build and call a service with the data.
This feature should be available where ever maven build is done. so it should be associated with the lifecycle. But i am not sure whether maven has any hooks to tap to get this kind of information.

You might want to look into Continuous Integration, which will build your project everytime you commit to the repository. I personally like Jenkins, where you can install the Global Build Stats Plugin which I think will cover what you want to do
I found a way to profile the maven build in developer machines.
For Maven 3 and above, it exposes the events through EventSpy API. An example profiler is available at https://github.com/tesla/tesla-profiler . so we implemented our own profiler and it logs the data to the central server.
For Maven 2.x, there is no easy way. I modified Maven to expose the events and wrote listener to track the data
#Kamal's answer requires you to modify your local Maven installation which is not a portable solution.
Here is a maven plugin which collects execution times of each plugin and saves it as an HTML report. The plugin utilizes Maven's core extensions feature which was introduced in 2015, so that you don't have to modify your Maven installation.
