Artifactory – Upload artifact through command line

Jenkins works well with Artifactory and the built artifact will be upload to the Artifactory repository automatically.

One day, i found that the artifact is built but it is not uploaded. The Linux server doesn’t have the desktop interface so i couldn’t upload the artifact through browser. An alternative way is to use the curl command to post the artifact to the repository.

curl -X POST <target url> --data <artifact>

 

Example:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8081/artifactory/dev-snapshot-local/eureka-v0.0.1.tar.gz --data eureka-v0.0.1.tar.gz

 

Done =)

Jenkins – Setup a simple Ant build project

Jenkins, previously named as Hudson, is a continuous integration tool just like CruiseControl. It has been almost 4 years since i started learning Maven which made me fall in love about best practice. Deployment and testing automation is really fun and finally i got a chance to play it again.

In this article, i would show you how to setup a simple Ant build project in Jenkins. Before we start, please refer to the simple Java project example in the post below.

 

1. Download and install Jenkins.

Maven + SVN + CruiseControl @ 1

The need of management is always true everywhere — a company, an application as well as yourself. As a programmer. i have been involved in some messy IT projects which have no management at all. Actually this is very common in HK where local companies only want you to complete the tasks before deadline. In such a busy city, seems that quality means nothing and changes come everyday.
