When deploying to Archiva from Jenkins is it necessary to change a settings.xml file where maven is concerned? - jenkins

I am trying to deploy from Jenkins to Archiva. I'm not very sure how it all works. I have a maven project and I have read that I need to change a settings.xml file. I cannot find such a file in my Archiva 2.0 directories.
While in Jenkins I am using the ArtifactDeployer plugin. When I try to enter the directory from which to get the artifacts there is an error saying it does not exist.
How can I resolve this problem?

Within Jenkins, you need to register the build tools that Jenkins will use.
In regard to the buld tool Maven, I suggest:
Download, unzip, and install Apache Maven to the server on which Jenkins runs.
Configure your Maven's conf/settings.xml to point to your Archiva installation.
Configure the M2_HOME and PATH variables so that the mvn command can be executed.
Configure Jenkins to use the Apache Maven installation that you just configured.
The point is, that's a sure fire way to locate and edit a settings.xml file.
If you have Jenkins download Maven for you (I generally don't do this), then you'll have to look for a path to where Jenkins installed Maven.

How to deploy jar from jenkins to remote window server

I have a build jar in Jenkins .I need to deploy the jar into windows VM Machine..I have tried lot of options but i couldn't achieve. Kindly suggest me .. Guidance much appreciate.
I assume that your have an Spring boot executable jar. I'm also assuming that you have jar file located in central repo such as Nexus or Artifactory.
In this case, create a write declarative or scripted pipeline. In one of the build steps execute a batch file with the command below.
java -jar <YourJarFile>.jar
Also make sure the installed java version classpath is set.

Jenkins build without maven

I have a java project which I build and export it as a jar using eclipse. Then I deploy the jar.
Also my project uses dependencies e.g. Apache POI etc. I include these jars in the build path and then clean build and export it as a jar.
I want to build the jar using Jenkins. Please suggest the script and command to perform the same task without using maven. I have to build the code from Gitlab.

Download/Copy zip file from Nexus repository via jenkins pipeline

I am new to this. I have a .NET project, GIT is being used as a SCM. We are keeping Third party binaries(in a zip file) inside Nexus.
Now, while building the project, via Jenkins, I need to copy and unzip binaries from Nexus to build machine via Jenkins Pipeline Script.
You can use the Maven dependency plugin.
A very basic example would be:
sh "mvn dependency:get -DrepoUrl=YOUR_URL Dartifact=com.foo.something:component:LATEST:jar -Ddest=component.jar"
Of course this requires java and maven to be properly installed on your node.

POM not released using Jenkins and Artifactory Release

We're trying to use the Artifactory release process in Jenkins to publish a jar file created by a Gradle build into a Maven repo in our Artifactory server.
It nearly all works, the only issue is that the pom file isn't being copied into the Artifactory repo.
The Gradle build includes the Gradle Maven plugin and running gradlew install locally results in both the jar and the pom inserted into the local Maven repo.
I've added a task in the Gradle build that generates the pom file in the same directory as the jar file and changed the Jenkins build to run that task too.
When the build has completed I can see both the jar and the pom file in the workspace.
Any ideas on what I need to do to get the pom file published along with the jar?
We're using:
Jenkins 2.10
Artifactory plugin 2.4.4
Gradle 2.14
The Gradle build file does not inlcude the Gradle Artifactory plugin.
Cheers, Andy
The Jenkins project is configured to use the Gradle-Artifactory integration (rather than the Generic-Artifactory integration).
As suggested by Dakota Brown I'm answering my own question, the solution to my problem was to un-tick the maven3 integration option. With that option unslected, everything works as expected.

Build step 'Invoke Gradle script' changed build result to FAILURE
Build step 'Invoke Gradle script' marked build as failure
Finished: FAILURE
Running the task $ gradle clean -b build/build.gradle from the command line works as expected.
I had the same issue and found that the problem for me was the gradle version in the project configuration. It was set to Default and when I set it to the gradle version I was pointing to in the plugin configuration in the Manage Jenkins > Configuration Options, It found gradle and worked properly.
This is a difficult issue to debug and I hope this saves someone else some time.
Solution Mastering_the_Object pointed out worked form me too, just to clarify steps there:
just installing Gradle plugin in Jenkins is not enough, you must also go to:
Jenkins->Manage Jenkins->Configure Jenkins->Configure system.
Under "Gradle Installations" type in name (it appears as version in project configuration), check "Install automatically" and select version. Then you can select that "Gradle version" in project configuration.
I was getting this error using the Gradle wrapper, was able to fix my broken build as follows:
Go to Manage Jenkins -> Global Tool Configuration -> Gradle -> Add Gradle, give it a name
Go to Jenkins -> (your job) -> Configure -> Build, choose "Invoke Gradle" and change the Gradle version from (Default) to the named version
When running Gradle on a CI machine such as Jenkins, it's most convenient to use the Gradle Wrapper.
On your development machine, stand in your root project directory and run
gradle wrapper
Then, check in the resulting files into your source control system. After that, you don't have to install anything on your Jenkins server if you need to change Gradle versions. Just configure your Jenkins job like this:
Quoting from the Gradle User Guide:
By distributing the wrapper with your project, anyone can work with it
without needing to install Gradle beforehand. Even better, users of
the build are guaranteed to use the version of Gradle that the build
was designed to work with. Of course, this is also great for
continuous integration servers (i.e. servers that regularly build your
project) as it requires no configuration on the server.
The jenkins can not find the gradle executable. I have never made gradle wrapper to work. Please follow the following steps:
Download gradle ( http://gradle.org/downloads),
unpack it to, e.g., /usr/local/lib/gradle ,
open /etc/profile and add the following two lines:
export GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/lib/gradle
export PATH=$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin
It works for my jenkins installation.
ps. I answer this old question, because it is a common issue when setting up gradle with jenkins. I have spent some time trying to make the gradle wrapper work without success before.
Used both #Skarab & a number of other solutions here to get it to work.
Download gradle ( http://gradle.org/downloads),
unpack it to, e.g., /usr/local/lib/gradle ,
open /etc/profile and add the following two lines:
export GRADLE_HOME=/usr/local/lib/gradle
export PATH=$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin
Then under Manage Jenkins > Configure system > Gradle, defined GRADLE_HOME and gave that gradle installation a name
Then, {this could be a bug} for the project, change gradle version from Default to the one I defined above
As others have noted, this is because Jenkins can't find the gradle executable.
None of the published solutions worked for me, but I was able to fix the problem by adding the gradle bin dir to the path set in the .bashrc for the build account on the build slave. Modifying the .profile failed, and setting PATH in the jenkins node configuration also failed.
Some posts will suggest setting the gradle path in the tools menu, but no gradle entry was available there either (perhaps due to regressions / design changes in the gradle plugin?).
In any case, the best test I found (short of running the build again and watching for failure) was to run env over ssh:
ssh <host> env
and check the PATH variable defined that way; if gradle isn't in that path, you probably won't be able to run it from jenkins.
