The Gradle Artifactory Plugin provides tight integration with Gradle. All that is needed is a simple modification of
your build.gradle
script file with a few configuration parameters, and you can deploy your build artifacts and build
information to Artifactory.
The plugin adds the artifactoryPublish
task for each project, in the 'publishing' group. The task performs the
following actions on the project and its submodules:
- Extracting the build-info file located in the root project. This file contains comprehensive information about the build, such as its configuration, dependencies, and other relevant details.
- Deploying both the generated artifacts and the build-info file to your Artifactory repository. This ensures that the artifacts, which are the output of the build process, and the accompanying build-info file are stored and organized in your Artifactory repository for easy access and management.
NOTE: The minimum supported Gradle version to use this plugin is v6.8.1
🚚 Migrating from Version 4 to Version 5 of the Plugin
Version 5 of the Gradle Artifactory Plugin includes the following breaking changes compared to version 4
-
The minimum version of Gradle required to use this plugin has been upgraded to version 6.9.
-
The below convention attributes have been removed:
Attribute Migration action parent No longer supported. resolve To define the Artifactory resolution repositories for your build, declare the repositories under the repositories section as described here.
Step 1 - Add the plugin to your project
Add the following snippet to your build script:
Kotlin Format
plugins {
id("com.jfrog.artifactory") version "5.+"
}
Groovy Format
plugins {
id "com.jfrog.artifactory" version "5.+"
}
Step 2 - Configure the plugin with your Artifactory
To configure the plugin with your Artifactory, add the following basic snippet to your project root build script, and make the necessary adjustments based on your platform information:
Kotlin Format
configure<ArtifactoryPluginConvention> {
publish {
// Define the Artifactory URL for publishing artifacts
contextUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:8081/artifactory"
// Define the project repository to which the artifacts will be published
repository {
// Set the Artifactory repository key
repoKey = "libs-snapshot-local"
// Specify the publisher username
username = project.property("artifactory_user") as String
// Provide the publisher password
password = project.property("artifactory_password") as String
}
// Include all configured publications for all the modules
defaults {
publications("ALL_PUBLICATIONS")
}
}
}
Groovy Format
artifactory {
publish {
// Define the Artifactory URL for publishing artifacts
contextUrl = 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/artifactory'
// Define the project repository to which the artifacts will be published
repository {
// Set the Artifactory repository key
repoKey = 'libs-snapshot-local'
// Specify the publisher username
username = "${artifactory_user}"
// Provide the publisher password
password = "${artifactory_password}"
}
// Include all configured publications for all the modules
defaults {
publications('ALL_PUBLICATIONS')
}
}
}
For advanced configurations and finer control over the plugin's operations, refer to the following documentation that outlines all the available configuration options. These options allow you to customize the behavior of the plugin according to your specific needs.
🏢🔧 Artifactory Configurations
The provided code snippet showcases the configuration options for the Artifactory plugin. It demonstrates how to fine-tune the plugin's behavior to meet specific project requirements, access the Artifactory instance to which the artifacts will be published, and configure other global settings such as Proxy and Build-Info extraction configurations.
Kotlin Format
configure<ArtifactoryPluginConvention> {
publish {

repository {

repoKey = "libs-snapshot-local"
// Option 2 - Specify release and snapshot repositories; let the plugin decide to which one to publish
// releaseRepoKey = "libs-release-local"
// snapshotRepoKey = "libs-snapshot-local"
// Specify the publisher username
username = project.property("artifactory_user") as String

📋🔧 Project Publication Configurations
The artifactoryPublish
task configuration allows you to customize the task operation and behavior for a specific
project, in addition to the global defaults. The global defaults configuration applies to the project and its
submodules, while the artifactoryPublish configuration allows you to define additional settings specifically for the
project.
When using artifactoryPublish, you have the flexibility to configure additional values without overriding the global
defaults. This means that the project can have its own specific configuration in addition to the common settings applied
globally.
Kotlin Format
tasks.named<ArtifactoryTask>("artifactoryPublish") {
// Specify what publications to include when collecting artifacts for publishing to Artifactory
publications(
// Publication can be specified as an Object
publishing.publications["ivyJava"],
// Publication can be specified as a String
"mavenJava",
// If this plugin constant string is specified, the plugin will try to apply all the known publications
"ALL_PUBLICATIONS"
)
// Optionally, configure properties to be attached to the published artifacts.
setProperties(mapOf(
"key1" to "value1",
"key2" to "value2"
))
// (default: false) Skip this task for the project (don't include its artifacts when publishing)
skip = true
// (default: true) Publish generated artifacts to Artifactory, can be specified as boolean/string
setPublishArtifacts(false)
// (default: true) Publish generated POM files to Artifactory, can be specified as boolean/string
setPublishPom(false)
// (default: true) Publish generated Ivy descriptor files to Artifactory, can be specified as boolean/string
setPublishIvy(false)
// (default: 'GRADLE') Set a custom module type for the published module in the build-info.
// Acceptable values: 'GENERIC', 'MAVEN', 'GRADLE', 'IVY', 'DOCKER', 'NUGET', 'NPM', 'GO', 'PYPI', 'CPP'
setModuleType("GRADLE")
}
Groovy Format
artifactoryPublish {
publications('ALL_PUBLICATIONS')
properties = ['qa.level': 'basic', 'dev.team': 'core']
// In Groovy format, properties can also be defined with a closure in the format: configName artifactSpec, key1:val1, key2:val2
properties {
simpleFile '**:**:**:*@*', simpleFile: 'only on settings file'
}
skip = true
publishArtifacts = false
publishPom = false
publishIvy = false
moduleType = 'GRADLE'
}
To deploy the project artifacts and build info to Artifactory, execute the following Gradle task
./gradlew artifactoryPublish
