Jenkins-将工件部署到Maven存储库

Question

I have a basic Springboot Maven project and I want to be able to deploy it and make API call as it works in local.
I have a remote linux machine with Jenkins on it, and I am able to make a build of my application correctly. Now I want to deploy this build in the same linux machine, in a certain folder /deploy .
Right now I have added a Post Build Action on Jenkins to Deploy artifacts to Maven repository having the following parameters: and right now I did not make any changes to my pom.xml or my maven settings.xml . The error that I get is the following:

[INFO] Deployment in http://localhost:8080/deploy (id=test2,uniqueVersion=true)
Deploying the main artifact reag.login-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Downloading: http://localhost:8080/deploy/reag/login/reag.login/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml
ERROR: Failed to retrieve remote metadata reag.login:reag.login:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml: Could not transfer metadata reag.login:reag.login:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml from/to deploymentRepo (http://localhost:8080/deploy): Access denied to: http://localhost:8080/deploy/reag/login/reag.login/0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml , ReasonPhrase:Forbidden.

The machine where I'm working is protected by username and password, I tried to put them in the settings.xml file but nothing changes. Does anyone know which are the steps to make this process work?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Local artifact deployment is done by mvn clean install . The install goal copies your artifact into your local maven repository (Default [USER_HOME]/.m2/repository).

If you want to deploy your artifact to another service, like a Nexus Maven Repository , then you need to deploy and also provide the credentials for that machine in your settings.xml , or even better setup a private/public key authentication for the machines.

I think Jenkins is trying to do the remote deploy, which is only working if you run a Maven Repository on your machine (like the Nexus)

Answer 2

"deploy" in Maven parlance means "upload the built artifacts and their metadata (such as pom files) to a repository manager.

It does not mean "copy the artifact to any location that you want".

Therefore as @funfried mentioned, you need to actually have a repository manager running.

If that is the case then the following is how you set up the maven configuration.

Maven links credentials to servers via the id element.

Your settings.xml file would have your credentials setup something like:

<servers>
    <server>
        <id>newhope-nexus</id>
        <username>steve</username>
        <password>{1T7Jmp/PBoQH4cvFjZDTaDe/F/Z+D9rJ925rf+3H1LY=}</password>
    </server>
</servers>

And then your project model (project pom or parent pom) should define it's distributionManagement :

<distributionManagement>
    <repository>
        <id>newhope-nexus</id>
        <url>http://newhope:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases/</url>
    </repository>
    <snapshotRepository>
        <id>newhope-nexus</id>
        <url>http://newhope:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
    </snapshotRepository>
</distributionManagement>

Note that the ids all match.

The mvn deploy from Jenkins should then work correctly.
