Jenkins artifactory plugin not working

Question

I have a problem using artifactory and jenkins. See the error log below.

My version jenkins : 1.638 My version of artifactory : 3.9.2

Artifactory is working ok and also installed plugin in jenkins and configured. All seems to work ok but when I want to build a project I have the error below.

ERROR: Processing failed due to a bug in the code. 
Please report this to jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com

This is actually a bug (since version 2.4.0).

There is a Jira issue for this (which I guess you opened).

I attached a URL to a snapshot version built on top of the last release (2.4.4) which also contains a fix for you issue.

If you have any issues with the fix or for any feedback you can use the Jira to communicate it.

BTW: There is a work around that you can use - just configure an Artifactory publish task and everything will work.
