Artifactory Create Repository Rest API does not work

Question

I have Artifactory pro license, and as the following pages provide, I called rest api.

https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+REST+API#ArtifactoryRESTAPI-CreateRepository

I have verified that all other APIs such as repository listing, account creation and listing works normally, but I have confirmed that the repository creation api does not work with 400 errors.

I wanted to see the error by changing the log level, but there was no information about why there was a 400 error at the trace log level.

Below are related logs:

Updated

1. My Artifactory Version: 6.0.2

2. Reponse Message from Artifactory:

    { "errors" : [ { "status" : 400, "message" : "No valid type of repository found.\\n" } ] }

3. Repository Create JSON Message*:

    { "key": "newrepo", "rclass: "local", "packageType": "docker", "dockerApiVersion": "V2", "includesPattern": "**/*", "excludesPattern": "", "repoLayoutRef": "simple-default", "description": "", "checksumPolicyType": "client-checksums", "blackedOut": false, "propertySets": ["artifactory"] }

   • The error in this block is on purpose, and the code highlighting finds it quite nicely, but when this post was originally made, highlighting was not available on SO.

Answer 1

In your JSON you are missing " after the rclass.

You wrote ' "rclass: ' and it should be ' "rclass": '

Once fixing this the command should work properly. Good luck :)

curl -iuadmin:password -X PUT http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/repositories/newrepo -H "Content-type:application/vnd.org.jfrog.artifactory.repositories.LocalRepositoryConfiguration+json" -T repo_temp.json

Answer 2

This error is (somehow) returned by Artifactory if the content-type header contains the charset, for example: Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8 Try with simply Content-Type: application/json
