Artifactory Rest API (Quick Search) - What is the correct usage of wildcards when specifying "repos"?

I'm trying to use the Artifactory Quick Search API (https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+REST+API#ArtifactoryRESTAPI-ArtifactSearch(QuickSearch)) to find the URL to a given artifact while giving it the repo parameter with a wildcard in it. I can only get a result when the repo value is an exact match.

Artifacts are being loaded with these generic properties: build.name (IE:Enterprise-Communications :: NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo :: v1.2.7rc) build.number (IE: 1) build.timestamp (unix time stamp) tag (Git tag version number) vcs.revision (think it's git's commit_id)

I can't recall all of the sites and pages I've checked but here is one that shows the UI using * and ? as wildcards. https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+REST+API

Our company Artifactory is geo-redundant and using a root directory naming convention of [Department]-[purpose]-[environment], so something like "SysDev-general-dev" and "SysDev-general-prod" with a pipeline process of copying the file from -dev into -prod once QA/UAT acceptance is complete.

The artifact is uploaded to a repo/folder of "SysDev-general-dev/clientName/program/artifact.tar" and apparently the system is then adding a "-[Site]" reference to the repo ("SysDev-general-dev-DEN01"), but that site identifier is only visible when logged into one of the site specific UIs or using the search APIs.

** Note: tests done with Chrome, FireFox, and Ansible playbook w/ 'uri' module.

When performing a Quick Search with the artifact name, it returns a list of URLs as expected. "artifactory/api/search/artifact?name=NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7"

{ "results" : [ { "uri" : "http://<DOMAIN>/artifactory/api/storage/Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod-SWN01/nreddy/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar" }, { "uri" : "http://<DOMAIN>/artifactory/api/storage/Enterprise-Communications-generic-prod-SWN01/nreddy/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar" } ] }

Using repo filter with exact match returns the 1 URI that I want. &repos=Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod-SWN01 { "results" : [ { "uri" : "http://<DOMAIN>/artifactory/api/storage/Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod-SWN01/nreddy/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar" } ] }

When adding "&repos=" with the first piece of the root dir to filter the return, an empty result set is returned. "artifactory/api/search/artifact?name=NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar&repos=Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod"

{ "results" : [ ] }

Add * to wildcard repo name: "artifactory/api/search/artifact?name=NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar&repos=Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod" { "results" : [ ] }

Wrap repo name (with ) in quotes artifactory/api/search/artifact?name=NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar&repos="Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod" { "results" : [ ] }

Wrap repo name (with *) in quotes and URL encode: artifactory/api/search/artifact?name=NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar&repos=%22Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod%A2%22 { "results" : [ ] }

Wrap repo name (with ?) in quotes artifactory/api/search/artifact?name=NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar&repos="Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod?" { "results" : [ ] }

Playbook:

- name: "Search URL: {{find_uri}} " uri: url: '{{ find_uri }}' method: GET # Default is GET force_basic_auth: yes validate_certs: no return_content: yes timeout: 15 #Default is 30 register: artifact_list

What I really want to do is pass in a repo reference with a wild card and get only URI values back that contain that value.

IE: &repos="Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod*"

{ "results" : [ { "uri" : "http://<DOMAIN>/artifactory/api/storage/Enterprise-Communications-generic-preprod-SWN01/nreddy/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo/NativeVXML-CICD-TestDemo.v1.2.7.tar" } ] }

Well, it isn't the way I'd prefer to do it but I did get a couple of simple Jinja statements to help me filter down the returned map of URLs.

- set_fact:
    artifact_url: "{{ (artifact_list.content | from_json ).results | map(attribute='uri') | select('match', artifact_root_dir) | list  }}" # will return a list or empty
    failed_when:  not artifact_url or artifact_url | length != 1    #fail when not set/empty or list contains more than 1
