choose artifact from artifactory to deploy pipeline job in Jenkins

Question

Is this possible? Suppose I have 2 jobs. One for building artifact and upload it to artifactory with latest version. And another job to deploy the artifact to the server. But I would like to choose the artifact version. Supose A deploy was made and not working , so I redeploy and choose previous artifact (or the one I want to choose). Is this posible in jenkins in a pipleine project? Like a parametrized build or something like that.

Thanks

Answer 1

It will work with the pipelin job . I am it in pipeline job only.

Example: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Maven+Metadata+Plugin

1. Assume that you have 2 jobs .

2. Job A & Job B. (Both pipeline jobs.)

        Job A -> Build and push the artifacts to Artifactory. 
        Job B -> Fetch the artifact from Artifactory and deploy.
   

   2. Install the Maven Meta Plugin . https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Maven+Metadata+Plugin
   3. go to Job B
      1. "This build is parametrerized" checkbox, from the drop-down that appears select the "List maven artifact versions",
         configure the artifact you want to retrieve the versions
      2. Name the parameter as deploy_version
   4. In Job B - > Select the version & Click Build.
   5. In pipeline script receive the selected version as param.deploy_version.
   6. Since you know the artifact version and artifact URLs . You can use CURL/httprequest plugin in Jenkisn to download the necessary
      artifact from Artifactory (I am using Maven Ansible artifactory
      plugin to download)
   7. Continue with your deployment.

The artifactory plugin for Jenkins has the option to "resolve" artifacts, i.e. download them from Artifactory. But this may require the Pro version with payment $_$
