Upload artifact to Artifactory using Gradle

Question

I am a newbie to Gradle and Artifactory and I want to upload a JAR file to Artifactory.

Here is my build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'maven'
apply plugin: 'artifactory-publish'

groupId = 'myGroup'
version = '1.0'
def artifactId = projectDir.name
def versionNumber = version

artifactory {
    contextUrl = 'http://path.to.artifactory' // base artifactory url
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-releases'   // Artifactory repository key to publish to
            username = 'publisher'      // publisher user name
            password = '********'       // publisher password
            maven = true
        }
    }
}

artifactoryPublish { 
    dependsOn jar
}

After running the artifactoryPublish task, the build is successful as shown below:

> gradle artifactoryPublish  --stacktrace
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:jar
:artifactoryPublish
Deploying build info to: http://path.to.artifactory/api/build

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Total time: 7.387 secs

However, there is nothing sent to Artifactory except the build info.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Edit:

As JBaruch mentioned, I've added

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

publishing {
    publications {
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
}

and defaults section to artifactory task

defaults {
   publications ('mavenJava')
}

Now it works.

Thanks

Answer 1

That's because you don't have any publications. The artifactory-publish plugin works with maven-publish plugin and uploads publications.

If you prefer working with the old maven plugin, you need artifactory plugin, not artifactory-publish.

Take a look at the Overview part in "Working with Gradle" page of the official docs.

I got this working. I was actually using an already created jar so I am using the below code to specify my jar that is to be uploaded:

publishing {
    publications {
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            // from components.java
            artifact file("path/jar-1.0.0.jar")
        }
    }
}

You need plugins :

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'maven'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'

to build project and retrieve jars from artifactory:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'http://[IP]:[PORT]/artifactory/gradle-dev'
            credentials {
                username = "${artifactory_user}"
                password = "${artifactory_password}"
            }
        }
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies { classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:4.5.4" }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    mavenLocal()
}

Artifactory configs:

artifactory {
    contextUrl = "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'gradle-dev-local'
            username = "${artifactory_user}"
            password = "${artifactory_password}"
            maven = true
        }
        defaults {
            publications('mavenJava')
        }
        publishBuildInfo = true
        publishArtifacts = true
        publishPom = true
    }
    resolve {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'gradle-dev'
            username = "${artifactory_user}"
            password = "${artifactory_password}"
            maven = true

        }
    }
}

and for publishing:

publishing {
    publications {
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
}

gradle.properties

artifactory_user=publisher
artifactory_password=*****
artifactory_contextUrl=http://IP:PORT/artifactory

So everything is just simple. If you want to upload your jar:

gradle artifactoryPublish

This is what worked for me with the command gradle clean build publish

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'maven'

group = 'com.mine'
version = '1.0.1-SNAPSHOT'

repositories{
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile gradleApi()
    compile localGroovy()
    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0-jre'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    //compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.8.1'
}

publishing {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url = 'https://artifactory.mine.net/artifactory/my-snapshots-maven'
            credentials {
                username 'user'
                password 'password'
            }
        }
    }
    publications{
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
}
