In our web-application we manage our continuous integration using TeamCity. So far we have manually added required jars and used an ant script to build and deploy our application. Lately we switched to Maven and added Artifactory to the cycle.
I need to know how to deploy our build artifacts from TeamCity to Artifactory.
I added the Artifactory plugin to TeamCity (following this guide) but when trying to add a new build step I can't seem to find any Artifactory related step (which I expect to find).
Am missing something here?
I don't think it is a separate step but actually a set of options at the end of the Maven build step itself (it should be toward the bottom).
See here for more detail:
http://wiki.jfrog.org/confluence/display/RTF/TeamCity+Artifactory+Plug-in.
Specifically, it says "The 'Deploy maven artifacts' option will only be available when using a 'Maven2' build runner."

How can I configure a Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline as Maven project?
For a Maven project in Jenkins I get the option.:
Build Triggers
Build whenever a SNAPSHOT dependency is built
But for a Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline I don't get that option.
How to get that option for a Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline?
dEE.
I think it is not possible. But I can share workaround with you.
Create maven project job, configure webhooks between jenkins and gitlab. In Source Code Management add as much branches as you want.
You can create a multibranch pipeline in Jenkin by choosing "Multibranch pipeline " in the option
There is no poll SCM but you can use Scan Multibranch Pipeline Triggers instead. Also take advantage of WebHook if the SCM you use gives that option
and about Build whenever a SNAPSHOT dependency is built this option - I dont think there is a way to do this with multibranch pipeline because this option comes with maven-plugins and can only available in Maven Project. But with out this you can achive the same scenario in different way by following good practice.
Build the dependent project seperately and keep the generate artifact in Nexus or Artifactory, so that the other job will pull independently.
Always make a good practice to use RELEASE version not SNAPSHOT version
I have a Gradle based project that is dependent on a couple of other projects one built via maven another via gradle. I can't push the other projects to our "enterprise" nexus repo because that involves much time/paperwork/pain. So is there a workaround I can use. Locally we simply build the other two projects so they are in our local repo and then can pull them from there. How can I achieve something similar on Jenkins? Each project is in a seprate Git repo.
I think you can do exactly the same thing inside Jenkins.
Before starting to build the gradle project, try checkout other projects firstly, and build them, so it will be installed into your local repo.
Then build the gradle as you did locally.

I have a large Maven project in Jenkins. It consists of a parent project, and about a dozen local projects. Using Jenkins, I am able to do mvndeploy` and for the build to successfully deploy to my Artifactory repository.
However, I can't seem to get the Jenkin's Artifactory plugin to work itself to work.
My Artifactory setting in Jenkins:
And here's the setting for our job:
When using the Jenkins Artifactory Plugin you should execute mvn install instead of mvn deploy.
This is because the plugin collects the published artifacts from Maven and when executing mvn deploy directly you are kind of by-passing it's behavior.
Use Build Step "Invoke Artifactory Maven 3" when working with Artifactory plugin. And most preferably use goals "clean install"
I had the same problem and resolved by adding details under Build Environment -> Generic-Artifactory Integration as shown in below image
Published Artifacts now started uploading into desired location in artifactory.
I have a maven multi module project with several modules. I want to deploy them (mvn deploy) only if they all pass a full mvn install (which includes the tests).
Currently, I run a mvn install on the project. If all modules pass, I run mvn deploy to do the deployment. The problem I see is the waste of time calling mvn twice (even if I skip tests on the second run).
Does anyone have an idea on this?
EDIT: I have learned that using Artifactory as a repository manager and the maven-artifactory-plugin with your maven setup will add the atomic deploy behaviour to the mvn deploy command. See the Build Integration section in the Artifactory documentation.
[DISCLOSURE - I'm associated with JFrog. Artifactory creator.]
Take a look at the deployAtEnd parameter of Maven Deployment plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-mojo.html
This is a bit tricky. Maven is not atomic when it executes the build life-cycle. So a broken set of artifacts may end up in a repository.
One solution I know is Nexus Pro: http://www.sonatype.com/Products/Nexus-Professional/Features - it allows you to promote builds or define certain repos as staging. So only verified versions get promoted to be used. Maybe artifactory has something similar - I just don't know.
If that solution is too expensive you probably need to create a cleanup build or profile to remove artifacts that where already uploaded. My first guess would be to write a Maven plugin to use the the proxy remote API or maybe the maven features are already sufficient. But since deploy means update the meta-data xml files too I dont think there is a delete - not sure on this either.
I'm trying to setup a complete CI server, but I struggle on some points.
Currently, my system work as follow :
I commit local changes on my local GIT repository, then push to the GIT repository on the CI server
I then have a jenkins job triggered by the SCM change, who run a clean install and by doing so executes all my Junit and Jstestdriver test (via a local jstd server). This job deploy the snapshot artifact to a repository on my nexus repository
I installed M2-release-plugin for jenkins, and setup my pom.xml accordingly using maven-release-plugin. When i click on "Perform maven release" in jenkins job page, jenkins run mvn release:prepare release:perform, thus creating a tag in my git repo (say v000001) and deploying a versionned artifact on my nexus repository.
I don't really know if this process is fine, but i guess so...
My problem is that I want to deliver the versionned artifact in my nexus repo (say "artifact-v0000001.war") in my production tomcat. But I can't figure out how to do it.
When I do "mvn release:prepare release:perform tomcat:deploy" it deploys the new SNAPSHOT artifact built ... I don't want to do this, I want to reuse the artifact from the nexus repository.
Is there a way to doing this using a tool (maven/jenkins plugin, or external)?
Basically, I want to fetch the last release artifact on the repository, and send it to the tomcat manager for dereploying the webapp.
Do I need to setup a delivery job separated from the release job?
Jenkins, especially when combined with a tool like ANT, can do just about anything. It has a lot of plug-ins, and you can always write a script and incorporate it into a Jenkins build. Currently, I use Jenkins to deploy web applications to Windows IIS servers. What you could do here is have a Jenkins build that has your SVN path set in the source control section so that it fetches the latest version when you trigger the build. From there it should be fairly trivial to write an ANT script that copies it over the existing JAR in Tomcat, which will automatically restart it.
Your problem is that you are probably using the Jenkins release plugin, not the "m2 release plugin". The problem with the standard plugin is that it performs the regular build, saves the artifacts, then performs the release. It will then try to deploy the wrong artifacts that it created from the regular build.
The m2 release plugin solves this particular problem. There are some tricky workaround for this problem, but that's how it stands at the moment until this feature is implemented: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-11120 (log in and vote for it!)
