Retrieving JFrog Artifact via Concourse pipeline - "empty version - return current version"

Question

Trying to test artifactory-resource by running through the example pipeline.

groups:
  - name: all
    jobs:
      - set-pipeline
      - trigger-when-new-file-is-added-to-artifactory

Answer 1

The following error indicates that the concourse resource is making a call to the Artifactory API, but instead of receiving a JSON structure, it gets a null response instead. The resource passes the null response to the jq utility that assumes an iterable object.

So why does it get a null response from the API?

It looks like, at minimum, the repository: in the ea-rds-jfrog-repo resource definition is incorrect.

Based on the second snapshot: I'm going to guess it should be set to

repository: "/ea-terraform-module-aws-rds/terraform-module/aws"

I recommend using the https://github.com/spring-io/artifactory-resource which is in active development, instead of the unmaintained one from pivotalservices
