gradle artifactory plugin fails to publish with groupID - gradle

Question

In my build.gradle script, publishing works when the groupId is left undefined. I would like to use "org.company.foobar.common" for the groupId.
When I uncomment the groupId lines in the following build.gradle script, I receive an error. Below the script is the execution results when this groupId is defined.
buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url "http://tribe.ust.doj.gov:8085/artifactory/jcenter/"}
maven { url "http://tribe.ust.doj.gov:8085/artifactory/MavenCentral/"}
maven { url "http://tribe.ust.doj.gov:8085/artifactory/gradlePlugins/"}
}
dependencies {
classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:latest.release"
}
}
repositories {
maven { url "http://tribe.ust.doj.gov:8085/artifactory/jcenter/"}
maven { url "http://tribe.ust.doj.gov:8085/artifactory/MavenCentral/"}
maven { url "http://tribe.ust.doj.gov:8085/artifactory/gradlePlugins/"}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
apply plugin: "com.jfrog.artifactory"
def getArtifactoryUrl() {
return "http://tribe.ust.doj.gov:8085/artifactory/"
}
allprojects {
repositories {
def artifactoryMcentralUrl = getArtifactoryUrl() + "MavenCentral/"
maven {url artifactoryMcentralUrl }
}
}
dependencies {
}
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir "/src"
}
}
}
//project.group = 'org.company.foobar.common'
task printProps {
doLast {
println artifactory_user
println artifactory_contextUrl
//println project.group
}
}
publishing {
publications {
mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
//groupId project.group
artifactId project.getName()
version '1.0.0'
from components.java
}
}
}
artifactory {
def artifactoryUrl = getArtifactoryUrl()
contextUrl = artifactoryUrl
publish {
repository {
repoKey = 'libs-snapshot-local'
username = "${artifactory_user}"
password = "${artifactory_password}"
}
defaults {
publications('mavenJava')
publishArtifacts = true
publishPom = true
}
}
}
The output from "gradle artifactoryPublish" when using the groupId (uncommented) is:
$ gradle artifactoryPublish

:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE

As it seems, you are trying to publish a RELEASE artifact to a SNAPSHOT repository. When using maven repositories in Artifactory, you will need to make sure that you are following both the Maven layout, and the release / snapshot policy.
In this specific example it seems that your issue is as following:
Artifactory, following maven policy, is recognizing the following path:
'libs-snapshot-local:org/company/foobar/common/kambucha/1.0.0/kambucha-1.0.0.jar' as a release, while the repository is set to handle only snapshots. For this specific path to work, and in case this is really a snapshot artifact, you will need to change the path to be:
libs-snapshot-local:org/company/foobar/common/kambucha/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/kambucha-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
If this is a release, change your deployment path to use 'libs-release-local' repository
