I am using a Bamboo CICD pipeline to build and deploy spring boot jar using maven release. Build is working fine and a spring boot jar is created. Since maven release updates the jar version after every run, I am unable to use this jar in the next stages of bamboo pipeline.
I have gone through bamboo documentation and discussion forums in Atlassian and Stackoverflow but unable to get the required solution. I tried to get the artifact in the next stages using "Artifact Download" task but unable to use it since jar version always varies.
I tried to fetch the shared artifact file using regular expression such as target/*.war in the deploy step (Command task - Argument field) but guess bamboo is not able to execute the regex. It is giving the following error message.
Incorrect Usage: The specified path 'target/*.war' does not exist.
If I give the correct name such as target/appname-0.0.1-snapshot.war bamboo is able to find the war file and deploying it successfully.
Is there any way that the exact war or jar name can be obtained in further stages without the need of manual update after every run? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Regular expression is not working in the command task but I was able to resolve this issue by using the bamboo script task. Regular expression is working fine and target/*.war has been resolved correctly.
You can also try Maven POM Value Extractor plugin. This plugin provides a build task that extracts values from Maven POMs and sets build variables using those values. This allows you to keep you Bamboo variables in sync with your Maven POM.
You can automatically extract your artifact's GAV (GroupId, Artifact, Version).

I get the following message from gradle when I run a 'gradle build' with Artifactory configured.
[buildinfo] Properties file path was not found! (Relevant only for builds running on a CI Server)
It starts appearing when I include the following line in my build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'
I would like to know what it exactly means and what to do about it, but I cannot find anything anywhere about it.
Gradle integration with Artifactory can be achieved by using the Gradle Artifactory Plugin or alternatively from a CI server (Jenkims, Bamboo or TeamCity), by using the relevant Artifactory Plugin for the CI server.
All Artifactory Plugins for the CI servers share the same code with the Gradle Artifactory Plugin to integrate with Artifactory.
The warning message you're getting is relevant only in case the build is running on a CI server. If it is not, this message is not an indication of a problem and it should be ignored. To avoid confusion, in the next release this message type will be changed to info instead of warning.
As for the actual meaning of this message, here's a short description:
The Artifactory Plugins for CI servers use a property file to pass
information to the build tool process (Gradle for example). The Gradle
Artifactory Plugin code (running as part of the Gradle process) uses
the data of in the file for artifact resolution and deployment from/to
Artifactory, as well as deployment for the build information to
Artifactory.
Using the Gradle Artifactory Plugin directly from your build script does not use or require this properties file and that's why you're seeing this message.
We are using Jenkins to build (maven) & deploy artifacts (JARs & *WAR*s) to an in-house artifactory server (both snapshots and releases).
For deployment, currently, we got Jenkins jobs that package the war file (from a release scm tag) and deploy to different environments/servers. We want to skip the package phase as it seems unnecessary to package it again & again for a released version because it's not possible to get a different copy of war file even after trying 1000 times.
We are looking for a way in Jenkins to get the artifact (war) from Artifactory and deploy it to a container. I am sure other people would have faced this situation too but I am not able to find any online material regarding this.
Is there any Jenkins plugin that takes a war file from Artifactory (based on a version) and deploy it to a remote container?
If this is not the right way of doing it then what are the recommendations for any other approach?
Thanks
I don't know about a plugin which takes a version # and deploys that, but you can build a Jenkins job to deploy the last successful release to a previous environment (thus copying from DEV-->QA for example.)
To do this, you would use the copy-artifact-plugin.
Here's an easy to follow run-through of this kind of setup:
http://www.lordofthejars.com/2012/09/deploying-jee-artifacts-with-jenkins.html
Every artifact stored in Artifactory will have a unique URL that includes the version number. It will take the format
http://artifactory-server/repository-name/path-to-artifact/version/filename
e.g.
http://artifactory/apps-releases-local/com/yourorg/yourapp/1.5.67/webapp.war
(depending on how you do your packaging, the WAR file name may include the version number as well).
So your deployment job can construct the Artifactory URL and download the file. Depending on how you have security set up in Artifactory, you may need to authenticate the request.
I've set up 2 free style jobs, build-app and deploy-app. build-app poll the scm and builds the app, which is Maven based, and install the artifact in a web server (internal repository server), then it calls deploy-app. I would like to pass the version of the pom file () to the downstream job so it can download the correct artifact and install it on the machine. I found some answers suggesting put the version string in a properties file and use InjectEnv plugin, but I prefer read it from the pom itself. Any ideas?
Thanks!
When you build inside Maven, you have access to the pom file version as ${program.version} and can do anything you wish with it.
The downstream freestyle job can also run Maven using the same pom but a different target. The version should be the same if you take care to keep it from changing in the interim. (This suggests a procedure that should always be followed.)
So, for example, that Maven target can run a Groovy script or an Ant script that will pick up the correct file from the repo and deploy it.
I'm trying to move an existing ANT build script (build.xml) into Cloudbees for CI using Jenkins. I setup the project repository using GitHub. The build pulls the repository into the Cloudbees Workspace successfully, but then fails with this message.
Parsing POMs
ERROR: No such file /scratch/jenkins/workspace/project/pom.xml
Perhaps you need to specify the correct POM file path in the project configuration?
I'm not too familiar with this, but from what I can tell (thanks Google) it's because Cloudbees uses Maven instead of ANT. Is there a way that I can change Jenkins to run the ANT build script instead of using Maven? Or a simple way to execute my ANT scripts from Maven? Any help here would be appreciated!
Thanks
You do not need a Maven POM file if your project is Ant-based.
It sounds like you created a Maven job in Jenkins. Delete it and create a free-style job instead, then (as #thekbb says) click Add build step and select Invoke Ant and configure as needed.
ant support is provided by teh ant plugin, I think you get this automatically when installing jenkins. In your jenkins job, add a build step of type 'Invoke Ant' and provide the target.
I've got a Maven project that Jenkins builds and deploys to a remote repository. I then need to copy the deployed .war to an external location. I've been trying to do this with a post-build shell script but I don't see any way to get the build information from maven (for example, the URL of the deployed artifact). Is there a way to get it, or a way to do this that's more integrated into maven? I can calculate the deployment path using Jenkins build parameters but it seems like a hack.
Thanks,
Steve
After a maven build you should always find the build artifact at
target/<artifactId>-<version>.<packaging>
You can access this path within the maven pom.xml by using the maven properties (see pom reference)
${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.${project.packaging}
To copy the artifact to another location after the build you can use several approaches described e.g. in this thread.
