CLI for JFrog Artifactory

Overview

This page describes how to use JFrog CLI with JFrog Artifactory.

Syntax

When used with JFrog Artifactory, JFrog CLI uses the following syntax:

$ jfrog rt command-name global-options command-options arguments

where:

command-name	The command to execute. Note that you can use either the full command name or its abbreviation.
global-options	A set of global options that may be used for all commands: `--url:` (Mandatory) The Artifactory URL. `--user:` (Optional) The Artifactory user. `--password:` (Optional) The Artifactory password. `--apikey:` (Optional) The Artifactory API key. `--access-token:` (Optional) The Artifactory access token. `--ssh-key-path:` (Optional) The path to your SSH key file when authenticating with your RSA keys. `--client-cert-path:` (Optional) Client certificate file in PEM format. Requires configuration on the HTTP proxy and is not supported by Artifactory. `--client-cert-key-path:` (Optional) Private key file for the client certificate in PEM format. Requires configuration on the HTTP proxy and is not supported by Artifactory.
command-options	A set of options corresponding to the command
arguments	A set of arguments corresponding to the command

Environment Variables

The Artifactory upload command makes use of the following environment variable:

Variable Name	Description
JFROG_CLI_MIN_CHECKSUM_DEPLOY_SIZE_KB	[Default: 10] Minimum file size in KB for which JFrog CLI performs checksum deploy optimization.
JFROG_CLI_JCENTER_REMOTE_SERVER	Configured Artifactory server ID from which to download the jar needed by the maven and gradle integration commands. The Artifactory server should include a remote maven repository named jcenter, which proxies jcenter.
JFROG_CLI_JCENTER_REMOTE_REPO	[Default: jcenter] Can be optionally used with the JFROG_CLI_JCENTER_REMOTE_SERVER environment variable. Determines the name of the remote repository to use.
JFROG_CLI_DEPENDENCIES_DIR	[Default: $JFROG_CLI_HOME_DIR/dependencies] Defines the directory to which JFrog CLI's internal dependencies are downloaded.
JFROG_CLI_REPORT_USAGE	[Default: true] Set to false to block JFrog CLI from sending usage statistics to Artifactory.
JFROG_CLI_BUILD_NAME	Build name to be used by commands which expect a build name, unless sent as a command argument or option.
JFROG_CLI_BUILD_NUMBER	Build number to be used by commands which expect a build number, unless sent as a command argument or option.
JFROG_CLI_BUILD_URL	Sets the CI server build URL in the build-info. The "jfrog rt build-publish" command uses the value of this environment variable, unless the --build-url command option is sent.
JFROG_CLI_ENV_EXCLUDE	[Default: password;secret;key;token] List of case insensitive patterns in the form of "value1;value2;...". Environment variables match those patterns will be excluded. This environment variable is used by the "jfrog rt build-publish" command, in case the --env-exclude command option is not sent.

Read about additional environment variables at the Welcome to JFrog CLI page.

Authentication

When used with Artifactory, JFrog CLI offers several means of authentication: JFrog CLI does not support accessing Artifactory without authentication.

Authenticating with Username and Password / API Key

To authenticate yourself using your Artifactory login credentials, either configure your credentials once using the config command or use the --user and --password command options, or alternatively use the --user and --apikey options with each command.

For enhanced security, when JFrog CLI is configured to use username and password / API key, it automatically generates an access token to authenticates with Artifactory. The generated access token is valid for one hour only. JFrog CLI automatically refreshed the token before it expires. The config command allows disabling this functionality. This feature is currently not supported by commands which use external tools or package managers or work with JFrog Distribution.

Authenticating with an Access Token

To authenticate yourself using an Artifactory Access Token, either configure your Access Token once using the config command or use the --access-token command option with each command.

Authenticating with RSA Keys

Currently, authentication with RSA keys is not supported when working with external package managers and build tools (Maven, Gradle, Npm, Docker, Go and NuGet) or with the cUrl integration.

From version 4.4, Artifactory supports SSH authentication using RSA public and private keys. To authenticate yourself to Artifactory using RSA keys, execute the following instructions:

Enable SSH authentication as described in Configuring SSH.
Configure your Artifactory URL to have the following format: ssh://[host]:[port] There are two ways to do this:
- For each command, use the --url command option.
- Specify the Artifactory URL in the correct format using the config command.
Don't include your Artifactory context URL
Make sure that the [host] component of the URL only includes the host name or the IP, but not your Artifactory context URL.
Configure the path to your SSH key file. There are two ways to do this:
- For each command, use the --ssh-key-path command option.
- Specify the path using the config command.

Authenticating with Client Certificates

Artifactory does not support authentication using client certificates. However, if Artifactory is behind an HTTP Proxy (Nginx for example), the proxy can be configured to allow access to Artifactory using a client certificate in a PEM format.
Since the certificate configuration is on the proxy, Artifactory is not aware of it and may still require authentication details using username/password, username/API key, access token or RSA keys.
To authenticate with the proxy using a client certificate, either configure your certificate once using the config command or use the --client-cert-path and --client-cert-ket-path command options with each command.

Not Using a Public CA (Certificate Authority)?

This section is relevant for you, if you're not using a public CA (Certificate Authority) to issue the SSL certificate used to connect to your Artifactory domain. You may not be using a public CA either because you're using self-signed certificates or you're running your own PKI services in-house (often by using a Microsoft CA).

In this case, you'll need to make those certificates available for JFrog CLI, by placing them inside the security/certs directory, which is under JFrog CLI's home directory. By default, the home directory is ~/.jfrog, but it can be also set using the JFROG_CLI_HOME_DIR environment variable.

Some commands support the --insecure-tls option, which skips the TLS certificates verification.
Before version 1.37.0, JFrog CLI expected the certificates to be located directly under the security directory. JFrog CLI will automatically move the certificates to the new directory when installing version 1.37.0 or above. Downgrading back to an older version requires replacing the configuration directory manually. You'll find a backup if the old configuration under .jfrog/backup

Storing Symlinks in Artifactory

JFrog CLI lets you upload and download artifacts from your local file-system to Artifactory, this also includes uploading symlinks (soft links).

Symlinks are stored in Artifactory as files with a zero size, with the following properties:
symlink.dest - The actual path on the original filesystem to which the symlink points
symlink.destsha1 - the SHA1 checksum of the value in the symlink.dest property

To upload symlinks, the upload command should be executed with the --symlinks option set to true.

When downloading symlinks stored in Artifactory, the CLI can verify that the file to which the symlink points actually exists and that it has the correct SHA1 checksum. To add this validation, you should use the --validate-symlinks option with the download command.

Using Placeholders

The JFrog CLI offers enormous flexibility in how you download, upload, copy, or move files through use of wildcard or regular expressions with placeholders.

Any wildcard enclosed in parenthesis in the source path can be matched with a corresponding placeholder in the target path to determine the name of the artifact once uploaded.

Examples

Example 1: Upload all files to the target repository

For each .tgz file in the source directory, create a corresponding directory with the same name in the target repository and upload it there. For example, a file named froggy.tgz should be uploaded to my-local-rep/froggy. (froggy will be created a folder in Artifactory).

$ jfrog rt u "(*).tgz" my-local-repo/{1}/ --recursive=false

Example 2: Upload all files sharing the same prefix to the target repository

Upload all files whose name begins with "frog" to folder frogfiles in the target repository, but append its name with the text "-up". For example, a file called froggy.tgz should be renamed froggy.tgz-up.

$ jfrog rt u "(frog*)" my-local-repo/frogfiles/{1}-up --recursive=false

Example 3: Upload all files to corresponding directories according to extension type

Upload all files in the current directory to the my-local-repo repository and place them in directories which match their file extensions.

$ jfrog rt u "(*).(*)" my-local-repo/{2}/{1}.{2} --recursive=false

Example 4: Copy all zip files to target respository and append with an extension.

Copy all zip files under /rabbit in the source-frog-repo repository into the same path in the target-frog-repo repository and append the copied files' names with ".cp".

jfrog rt cp "source-frog-repo/rabbit/(*.zip)" target-frog-repo/rabbit/{1}.cp

General Commands

The following sections describe the commands available in the JFrog CLI for use with Artifactory.

Configuration

This command is used to configure JFrog CLI with Artifactory servers, which can later be used in the other commands. The configured Artifactory servers details can be overridden per command by passing in alternative values for the Artifactory URL and login credentials. The values configured are saved in ~/.jfrog/jfrog-cli.conf.

You can set a default Artifactory server by using the jfrog rt use command.

Target path	Specifies the target path in Artifactory, to which the artifacts should be copied, in the following format: `[repository name]/[repository path]` If the pattern ends with a slash, the target path is assumed to be a folder. For example, if you specify the target as "repo-name/a/b/", then "b" is assumed to be a folder in Artifactory into which files should be copied. If there is no terminal slash, the target path is assumed to be a file to which the copied file should be renamed. For example, if you specify the target as "repo-name/a/b", the copied file is renamed to "b" in Artifactory. For flexibility in specifying the target path, you can include placeholders in the form of {1}, {2} which are replaced by corresponding tokens in the source path that are enclosed in parenthesis. For more details, please refer to Using Placeholders.

Build Integration

Overview

JFrog CLI integrates with any development ecosystem allowing you to collect build-info and then publish it to Artifactory. By publishing build-info to Artifactory, JFrog CLI empowers Artifactory to provide visibility into artifacts deployed, dependencies used and extensive information on the build environment to allow fully traceable builds.

Many of JFrog CLI's commands accept two optional command options: --build-name and --build-number. When these options are added, JFrog CLI collects and records the build info locally for these commands.
When running multiple commands using the same build and build number, JFrog CLI aggregates the collected build info into one build.
The recorded build-info can be later published to Artifactory using the build-publish command.

Collecting Build-Info

Build-info is collected by adding the --build-name and --build-number options to different CLI commands. The CLI commands can be run several times and cumulatively collect build-info for the specified build name and number until it is published to Artifactory. For example, running the download command several times with the same build name and number will accumulate each downloaded file in the corresponding build-info.

Collecting Dependencies

Dependencies are collected by adding the --build-name and --build-number options to the download command .

For example, the following command downloads the cool-froggy.zip file found in repository my-local-repo , but it also specifies this file as a dependency in build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt dl my-local-repo/cool-froggy.zip --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=18

Collecting Build Artifacts

Build artifacts are collected by adding the --build-name and --build-number options to the upload command.

For example, the following command specifies that file froggy.tgz uploaded to repository my-local-repo is a build artifact of build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt u froggy.tgz my-local-repo --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=18

Collecting Environment Variables

This command is used to collect environment variables and attach them to a build.

Environment variables are collected using the build-collect-env (bce) command.

For example, the following command collects all currently known environment variables, and attaches them to the build-info for build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt bce my-build-name 18

The following table lists the command arguments and flags:

Command name	build-collect-env (bce)
Abbreviation	bce
Command options	This command has no options.
Command arguments	The command accepts two arguments.
Build name	Build name.
Build number	Build number.

Example

Collect environment variables for build name: frogger-build and build number: 17

 jfrog rt bce frogger-build 17

Collecting Information from Git

The build-add-git (bag) command collects the Git revision and URL from the local .git directory and adds it to the build-info. It can also collect the list of tracked project issues (for example, issues stored in JIRA or other bug tracking systems) and add them to the build-info. The issues are collected by reading the git commit messages from the local git log. Each commit message is matched against a pre-configured regular expression, which retrieves the issue ID and issue summary. The information required for collecting the issues is retrieved from a yaml configuration file provided to the command.

The following table lists the command arguments and flags:

Command name	build-add-git
Abbreviation	bag
Command options
--config	[Optional] Path to a yaml configuration file, used for collecting tracked project issues and adding them to the build-info.
--server-id	[Optional] Artifactory server ID configured using the jfrog rt config command. This is the server to which the build-info will be later published, using the `build-publish` (`bp`) command. This option, if provided, overrides the serverID value in this command's yaml configuration. If both values are not provided, the default server, configured by the jfrog rt config command, is used.
Command arguments	The command accepts three arguments.
Build name	Build name.
Build number	Build number.
.git path	Optional - Path to a directory containing the .git directory. If not specific, the .git directory is assumed to be in the current directory or in one of the parent directories.

Example

jfrog rt bag frogger-build 17 checkout-dir

This is the configuration file structure.

version: 1
issues: 
  # The serverID yaml property is optional. The --server-id command option, if provided, overrides the serverID value.
  # If both the serverID property and the --server-id command options are not provided,
  # the default server, configured by the "jfrog rt config" command is used.
  serverID: my-artifactory-server

  trackerName: JIRA
  regexp: (.+-[0-9]+)\s-\s(.+)
  keyGroupIndex: 1
  summaryGroupIndex: 2
  trackerUrl: http://my-jira.com/issues
  aggregate: true
  aggregationStatus: RELEASED

Configuration file properties

Property name	Description
Version	The schema version is intended for internal use. Do not change!
serverID	Artifactory server ID configured by the jfrog rt config command. The command uses this server for fetching details about previous published builds. The --server-id command option, if provided, overrides the serverID value. If both the serverID property and the --server-id command options are not provided, the default server, configured by the jfrog rt config command is used.
trackerName	The name (type) of the issue tracking system. For example, JIRA. This property can take any value.
regexp	A regular expression used for matching the git commit messages. The expression should include two capturing groups - for the issue key (ID) and the issue summary. In the example above, the regular expression matches the commit messages as displayed in the following example: HAP-1007 - This is a sample issue
keyGroupIndex	The capturing group index in the regular expression used for retrieving the issue key. In the example above, setting the index to "1" retrieves HAP-1007 from this commit message: HAP-1007 - This is a sample issue
summaryGroupIndex	The capturing group index in the regular expression for retrieving the issue summary. In the example above, setting the index to "2" retrieves the sample issue from this commit message: HAP-1007 - This is a sample issue
trackerUrl	The issue tracking URL. This value is used for constructing a direct link to the issues in the Artifactory build UI.
aggregate	Set to true, if you wish all builds to include issues from previous builds.
aggregationStatus	If aggregate is set to true, this property indicates how far in time should the issues be aggregated. In the above example, issues will be aggregated from previous builds, until a build with a RELEASE status is found. Build statuses are set when a build is promoted using the jfrog rt build-promote command.

Adding Local Files As Build Dependencies

The download command, as well as other commands which download dependencies from Artifactory accept the --build-name and --build-number command options. Adding these options records the downloaded files as build dependencies. In some cases however, you'd like to add file, which have been downloaded by another tool, to a build. Use this command to to this.

Command name	build-add-dependencies

--regexp	[Optional: false] [Default: false] Set to true to use a regular expression instead of wildcards expression to collect files to be added to the build info.
--dry-run	[Default: false] Set to true to only get a summery of the dependencies that will be added to the build info.
--exclusions	A list of Semicolon-separated exclude patterns. Allows using wildcards or a regular expression according to the value of the 'regexp' option.
Command arguments	The command takes threee arguments.
Build name	The build name to add the dependencies to
Build number	The build number to add the dependencies to
Pattern	Specifies the local file system path to dependencies which should be added to the build info. You can specify multiple dependencies by using wildcards or a regular expression as designated by the --regexp command option. If you have specified that you are using regular expressions, then the first one used in the argument must be enclosed in parenthesis.

Example

jfrog rt bad my-build-name 7 "path/to/build/dependencies/dir/"

Publishing Build-Info

This command is used to publish build info to Artifactory. To publish the accumulated build-info for a build to Artifactory, use the build-publish (bp) command. For example, the following command publishes all the build-info collected for build my-build-name with build number 18:

jfrog rt bp my-build-name 18

This command is used to publish build info to Artifactory.

Command name	build-publish
Abbreviation	bp
Command options
--server-id	[Optional] Artifactory server ID configured using the config command. If not specified, the default configured Artifactory server is used.
--build-url	[Optional] Can be used for setting the CI server build URL in the build-info.
--env-include	[Default: *] List of patterns in the form of "value1;value2;..." Only environment variables that match those patterns will be included in the build info.
--env-exclude	[Default: password;secret;key] List of case insensitive patterns in the form of "value1;value2;..." environment variables match those patterns will be excluded.
-dry-run	[Default: false] Set to true to disable communication with Artifactory.
--insecure-tls	[Default: false] Set to true to skip TLS certificates verification.
Command arguments	The command accepts two arguments.
Build name	Build name to be published.
Build number	Build number to be published.

Example

jfrog rt bp my-build-name 18

Aggregating Published Builds

The build-info, which is collected and published to Artofactory by the jfrog rt build-publish command, can include multiple modules. Each module in the build-info represents a package, which is the result of a single build step, or in other words, a JFrog CLI command execution. For example, the following command adds a mudile named m1 to a build named my-build with 1 as the build number:

jfrog rt upload "a/*.zip" generic-local --build-name my-build --build-number 1 --module m1

The following command, adds a second module, named m2 to the same build:

jfrog rt upload "b/*.zip" generic-local --build-name my-build --build-number 1 --module m2

You now publish the generated build-info to Artifactory using the following command:

jfrog rt build-publish my-build 1

In some cases though, your build is composed of multiple build steps, which are running on multiple different machines or spread across different time periods. How do you aggregate these buuld steps, or in other words command executions, into one build-info?

The way to do this is by using the build-append command. Running this command on the existing build-info, adds a reference to a different build-info, which has already been published to Artofactory. This reference is represented by a new module in the existing build. The ID of this module will have the following format: <referenced build name>/<referenced build number>.

Command name	build-append
Abbreviation	ba
Command options	This command has no options.
Command arguments	The command accepts four arguments.
Build name	The current (not yet published) build name.
Build number	The current (not yet published) build number,
build name to append	The published build name to append to the current build
build number to append	The published build number to append to the current build

Example

# Create and publish build a/1
jfrog rt upload "a/*.zip" generic-local --build-name a --build-number 1
jfrog rt build-publish a 1
# Create and publish build v/1
jfrog rt upload "b/*.zip" generic-local --build-name b --build-number 1
jfrog rt build-publish b 1
# Append builds a/1 and b/1 to build aggregating-build/10
jfrog rt build-append aggregating-build 10 a 1
jfrog rt build-append aggregating-build 10 b 1
# Publish build aggregating-build/10
jfrog rt build-publish aggregating-build 10

Managing Docker Images

JFrog CLI provides full support for pulling and publishing docker images from and to Artifactory using the docker client running on the same machine. This allows you to to collect build-info for your docker build and then publish it to Artifactory. You can also promote the pushed docker images from one repository to another in Artifactory.

To build and push your docker images to Artifactory, follow these steps:

Make sure Artifactory can be used as docker registry. Please refer to Getting Started with Docker and Artifactory in the JFrog Artifactory User Guide.
Make sure that the installed docker client has version 17.07.0-ce (2017-08-29) or above. To verify this, run docker -v
To ensure that the docker client and your Artifactory docker registry are correctly configured to work together, run the following code snippet.
```
docker pull hello-world
docker tag hello-world:latest <artifactoryDockerRegistry>/hello-world:latest
docker login <artifactoryDockerRegistry>
docker push <artifactoryDockerRegistry>/hello-world:latest
```
If everything is configured correctly, pushing any image including the hello-world image should be successfully uploaded to Artifactory.

Building Npm Packages

JFrog CLI provides full support for building npm packages using the npm client. This allows you to resolve npm dependencies, and publish your npm packages from and to Artifactory, while collecting build-info and storing it in Artifactory.

Follow these guidelines when building npm packages:

You can download npm packages from any npm repository type - local, remote or virtual, but you can only publish to a local or virtual Artifactory repository, containing local repositories. To publish to a virtual repository, you first need to set a default local repository. For more details, please refer to Deploying to a Virtual Repository.

When the npm-publish command runs, JFrog CLI runs the pack command in the background. The pack action is followed by an upload, which is not based on the npm client's publish command. Therefore, If your npm package includes the prepublish or postpublish scripts, rename them to prepack and postpack, respectively.

Requirements

Npm client version 5.4.0 and above.

Artifactory version 5.5.2 and above.

Setting npm repositories

Before using using the npm-install, npm-ci and npm-publish commands, the project needs to be pre-configured with the Artifactory server and repositories, to be used for building and publishing the project. The npm-config command should be used once to add the configuration to the project. The command should run while inside the root directory of the project. The configuration is stored by the command in the in the .jfrog directory at the root directory of the project.

Command-name	npm-config
Abbreviation	npmc
Command options
--global	[Optional] Set to true, if you'd like to configuration to be global (for all projects). Specific projects can override the global configuration.

--server-id-deploy	[Optional] Artifactory server ID for deployment. The server should configured using the 'jfrog rt c' command.
--repo-resolve	[Optional] Repository for dependencies resolution.
--repo-deploy	[Optional] Repository for artifacts deployment.
Command arguments	The command accepts no arguments

Installing Npm Packages

The npm-install and npm-ci commands execute npm's install and ci commands respectively, to fetches the npm dependencies from the npm repositories.

Before running the npm-install or npm-ci command on a project for the first time, the project should be configured using the npm-config command.

The following table lists the command arguments and flags:

Examples

Example 1

The following example installs the dependencies and records them locally as part of build my-build-name/1. The build-info can later be published to Artifactory using the build-publish command. The dependencies are resolved from the Artifactory server and repository configured by npm-config command.

jfrog rt npm-install --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=1

Example 2

The following example installs the dependencies. The dependencies are resolved from the Artifactory server and repository configured by npm-config command.

jfrog rt npm-install

Example 3

The following example installs the dependencies using the npm-ci command. The dependencies are resolved from the Artifactory server and repository configured by npm-config command.

jfrog rt npm-ci

Publishing the Npm Packages into Artifactory

The npm-publish command packs and deploys the npm package to the designated npm repository.

Before running the npm-publish command on a project for the first time, the project should be configured using the npm-config command. This configuration includes the Artifactory server and repository to which the package should deployed.

If your npm package includes the prepublish or postpublish scripts, please refer to the guidelines above.

The following table lists the command arguments and flags:

Command-name	npm-publish
Abbreviation	npmp
Command options
--build-name	[Optional] Build name. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.

The build-info can later be published to Artifactory using the build-publish command. The package is published to the Artifactory server and repository configured by npm-config command.

jfrog rt npm-publish --build-name=my-build-name --build-number=1

Building Go Packages

General

JFrog CLI provides full support for building Go packages using the Go client. This allows resolving Go dependencies from and publish your Go packages to Artifactory, while collecting build-info and storing it in Artifactory.

Build Process

When building your go project using the jfrog rt go build command, JFrog CLI does the following:
1. Downloads the dependencies from Artifactory.

2. Dependencies which are missing in Artifactory are downloaded from the source control.

3. if the --publish-deps option is provided, the missing dependencies downloaded from the source control are published to Artifactory. This requires deploy permissions.

3. Builds the project.

Using JFrog CLI vs. the Native Go Client

The native go client can be used to build packages with Artifactory. To set the go client to use Artifactory, the GOPROXY environment variable needs to be set and include the Artifactory instance details as follows:

<protocol>://<username>:<password>@<artifactory domain>/api/go/<go repository>

Some go packages however have not yet been converted to use go-modules and therefore cannot be proxied by Artifactory. It is recommended to use a virtual go repository, which includes a local repository, set as the default deployment repository. The virtual repository can include one or more remote repositories, to proxy remote sources such as GoCenter or github.

JFrog CLI provides a solution for this issue. It does this by attempting to download packages from Artifactory first and fall back to source control repositories if the packages cannot be fetched from Artifactory. JFrog CLI will publish these missing packages to Artifactory, so that they are available for the next builds.

Requirements

JFrog CLI client version 1.20.0 and above.

Artifactory version 6.2.0 and above.

Go client version 1.11.0 and above.

Example project

To help you get started, you can use this sample project on GitHub.

Building Python Packages

JFrog CLI provides full support for building Python packages using the pip package installer. This allows resolving pip dependencies from Artifactory, while recording the downloaded packages. The downloaded packages are stored as dependencies in the build-info stored in Artifactory.

Once the packages are installed, the Python project can be then built and packaged using the the python client. Once built, the produced artifacts can be uploaded to Artifactory using JFrog CLI's upload command and registered as artifacts in the build-info.

Example project

To help you get started, you can use this sample project on GitHub.

Setting Python repository

Before you can use JFrog CLI to build your Python projects with Artifactory, you first need to set the repository for the project.

Here's how you set the repositories.

CD to the root of the Python project.
Run the jfrog rt pip-config command.

Command-name	pip-config
Abbreviation	pipc
Command options
--global	[Default false] Set to true, if you'd like to configuration to be global (for all projects). Specific projects can override the global configuration.
--server-id-resolve	[Optional] Artifactory server ID for resolution. The server should configured using the 'jfrog rt c' command.
--repo-resolve	[Optional] Repository for dependencies resolution.

Examples

Example 1

Set repositories for this Python project.

jfrog rt pipc

Example 2

Set repositories for all Python projects on this machine.

jfrog rt pipc --global

Installing Python packages

The pip-install command uses the pip client to install the project dependencies from Artifactory. It can also record these packages as build dependencies as part of the build-info published to Artifactory.

Before running the pip-install command on a project for the first time, the project should be configured using the pip-config command.

Recording all dependencies

JFrog CLI records the installed packages as build-info dependencies. The recorded dependencies are packages installed during the 'jfrog rt pip-install' command execution. When running the command inside a Python environment, which already has some of the packages installed, the installed packages will not be included as part of the build-info, because they were not originally installed by JFrog CLI. A warning message will be added to the log in this case.

How to include all packages in the build-info?

The details of all the installed packages is always cached by the 'jfrog rt pip-install' command in the .jfrog/projects/deps.cache.json file, located under the root of the project. JFrog CLI uses this cache for including previously installed packages in the build-info.
If the Python environment had some packages installed prior to the first execution of the 'jfrog rt pip-install' command, those previously installed packages will be missing from the cache and therefore will not be included in the build-info.

Running the 'jfrog rt pip-install' command with both the 'no-cache-dir' and 'force-reinstall' pip options, should re-download and install these packages, and they will therefore be included in the build-info and added to the cache. It is also recommended to run the command from inside a virtual environment.

Command-name	pip-install
Abbreviation	pipi
Command options
--build-name	[Optional] Build name. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
--build-number	[Optional] Build number. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
--module	[Optional] Optional module name for the build-info.
Command argument
Pip arguments	Arguments and options for the pip-install command.

Examples

The following are two examples from running pip install, while recording the build dependencies as part of build name my-build and build number 1.

jfrog rt pip-install . --build-name=my-build --build-number=1
jfrog rt pip-install -r requirements.txt --build-name=my-build --build-number=1

Building NuGet Packages

JFrog CLI provides full support for restoring NuGet packages using the NuGet client or the .NET Core CLI. This allows you to resolve NuGet dependencies from and publish your NuGet packages to Artifactory, while collecting build-info and storing it in Artifactory.

NuGet dependencies resolution is supported by the jfrog rt nuget command, which uses the NuGet client or the jfrog rt dotnet command, which uses the .NET Core CLI.

To publish your NuGet packages to Artifactory, use the jfrog rt upload command.

Setting NuGet repositories

Before using using the nuget or dotnet commands, the project needs to be pre-configured with the Artifactory server and repository, to be used for building the project.

Before using the nuget or dotnet commands, the nuget-config or dotnet-config commands should be used respectively. These commands configure the project with the details of the Artifactory server and repository, to be used for the build. The nuget-config or dotnet-config commands should be executed while inside the root directory of the project. The configuration is stored by the command in the in the .jfrog directory at the root directory of the project. You then have the option of storing the .jfrog directory with the project sources, or creating this configuration after the sources are checked out.

The following table lists the commands arguments and options:

Command-name	nuget-config / dotnet-config
Abbreviation	nugetc / dotnetc
Command options
--global	[Optional] Set to true, if you'd like to configuration to be global (for all projects). Specific projects can override the global configuration.
--server-id-resolve	[Optional] Artifactory server ID for resolution. The server should configured using the 'jfrog rt c' command.
--repo-resolve	[Optional] Repository for dependencies resolution.
--nuget-v2	[Default: false] Set to true if you'd like to use the NuGet V2 protocol when restoring packages from Artifactory (instead of NuGet V3).
Command arguments	The command accepts no arguments

Running Nuget and Dotnet commands

The nuget command runs the NuGet client and the dotnet command runs the .NET Core CLI.

Before running the nuget command on a project for the first time, the project should be configured using the nuget-config command.

Before running the dotnet command on a project for the first time, the project should be configured using the dotnet-config command.

The following table lists the commands arguments and options:

Command-name	nuget / dotnet
Abbreviation
Command options
--build-name	[Optional] Build name. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
--build-number	[Optional] Build number. For more details, please refer to Build Integration.
--module	[Optional] Optional module name for the build-info.
Command argument	The command accepts the same arguments and options as the NuGet client / .NET Core CLI.

Examples

Example 1

Run nuget restore for the solution at the current directory, while resolving the NuGet dependencies from the pre-configured Artifactory repository. Use the NuGet client for this command

jfrog rt nuget restore

Example 2

Run dotnet restore for the solution at the current directory, while resolving the NuGet dependencies from the pre-configured Artifactory repository. Use the .NET Core CLI for this command

jfrog rt dotnet restore

Example 3

jfrog rt rbdel --delete-from-dist --dist-rules=/path/to/dist-rules.json myApp 1.0.0

Using File Specs

To achieve complex file manipulations you may require several CLI commands. For example, you may need to upload several different sets of files to different repositories. To simplify the implementation of these complex manipulations, you can apply JFrog CLI download, upload, move, copy and delete commands with JFrog Artifactory using --spec option to replace the inline command arguments and options. Similarly, you can create and update release bundles by providing the --spec command option. Each command uses an array of file specifications in JSON format with a corresponding schema as described in the sections below. Note that if any of these commands are issued using both inline options as well as the file specs, then the inline options override their counterparts specified in the file specs.

{
    "files": [
        {
            "pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
            "target": "froggy/"
        }
    ]
}

Example 2:

Download all files located under the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository to the froggy directory. Download only files which are artifacts of build number 5 of build my-build.

{
    "files": [
        {
            "pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
            "target": "froggy/",
            "build": "my-build/5"
        }
    ]
}

Example 3:

{
  "files": [
    {
      "aql": {
        "items.find": {
          "repo": "my-local-repo",
          "$or": [
            {
              "$and": [
                {
                  "path": {
                    "$match": "."
                  },

                  }
                }
              ]
            },
            {
              "$and": [
                {
                  "path": {
                    "$match": "*"

              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      },
      "target": "froggy/"
    }
  ]
}

Example 4: Upload

All zip files located under the resources directory to the zip folder, under the all-my-frogs repository.
AND
All TGZ files located under the resources directory to the tgz folder, under the all-my-frogs repository.
Tag all zip files with type = zip and status = ready.
Tag all tgz files with type = tgz and status = ready.

{
  "files": [
    {
      "pattern": "resources/*.zip",
      "target": "all-my-frogs/zip/",
      "props": "type=zip;status=ready"
    },
    {
      "pattern": "resources/*.tgz",
      "target": "all-my-frogs/tgz/",
      "props": "type=tgz;status=ready"
    }
  ]
}

Example 5:

Upload all zip files located under the resources directory to the zip folder, under the all-my-frogs repository.

{
  "files": [
    {
      "pattern": "resources/*.zip",
      "target": "all-my-frogs/zip/"
    }
  ]
}

Example 6:

Download all files located under the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository except for files with .txt extension and all files inside the all-my-frogs directory with the props. prefix.

Notice that the exclude patterns do not include the repository.

{
    "files": [
     {
        "pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
        "exclusions": ["*.txt","all-my-frog/props.*"]
     }
    ]
}

Example 7:

Download The latest file uploaded to the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository.

{
    "files": [
     {
        "pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
        "target": "all-my-frogs/files/",
        "sortBy": ["created"],
        "sortOrder": "desc",
        "limit": 1
     }
    ]
}

Example 8:

Search for the three largest files located under the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository. If there are files with the same size, sort them "internally" by creation date.

{
    "files": [
     {
        "pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
        "sortBy": ["size","created"],
        "sortOrder": "desc",
        "limit": 3
     }
    ]
}

Example 9:

Download The second latest file uploaded to the all-my-frogs directory in the my-local-repo repository.

{
    "files": [
     {
        "pattern": "my-local-repo/all-my-frogs/",
        "target": "all-my-frogs/files/",
        "sortBy": ["created"],
        "sortOrder": "desc",
        "limit": 1,
        "offset": 1
     }
    ]
}

Example 10:

This example shows how to delete artifacts in artifactory under specified path based on how old they are.

The following File Spec finds all the folders which match the following criteria:

They are under the my-repo repository.
They are inside a folder with a name that matches abc-*-xyz and is located at the root of the repository.
Their name matches ver_*
They were created more that 7 days ago.

{
  "files": [
    {
      "aql": {
        "items.find": {
          "repo": "myrepo",
          "path": {"$match":"abc-*-xyz"},
          "name": {"$match":"ver_*"},
          "type": "folder",
          "$or": [
            {
              "$and": [
                {
                  "created": { "$before":"7d" }
                }
              ]
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

Example 11

This example uses placeholders. For each .tgz file in the source directory, create a corresponding directory with the same name in the target repository and upload it there. For example, a file named froggy.tgz should be uploaded to my-local-rep/froggy. (froggy will be created a folder in Artifactory).

{
    "files": [
      {
        "pattern": "(*).tgz",
        "target": "my-local-repo/{1}/",
      }
    ]
}

Example 12

This examples uses placeholders. Upload all files whose name begins with "frog" to folder frogfiles in the target repository, but append its name with the text "-up". For example, a file called froggy.tgz should be renamed froggy.tgz-up.

{
    "files": [
      {
        "pattern": "(frog*)",
        "target": "my-local-repo/frogfiles/{1}-up",
        "recursive": "false"
      }
    ]
}

Example 13

The following two examples lead to the exact same outcome.
The first one uses placeholders, while the second one does not. Both examples download all files from the generic-local repository to be under the my/local/path/ local file-system path, while maintaining the original Artifactory folder hierarchy. Notice the different flat values in the two examples.

{
    "files": [
      {
        "pattern": "generic-local/{*}",
        "target": "my/local/path/{1}",
        "flat": "true"
      }
    ]
}

{
    "files": [
      {
        "pattern": "generic-local/",
        "target": "my/local/path/",
        "flat": "false"
      }
    ]
}

Downloading the Maven and Gradle Extractor JARs

For integrating with Maven and Gradle, JFrog CLI uses the build-info-extractor jars files. These jar files are downloaded by JFrog CLI from jcenter the first time they are needed.

If you're using JFrog CLI on a machine which has no access to the internet, you can configure JFrog CLI to download these jar files from an Artifactory instance. Here's how to configure Artifactory and JFrog CLI to download the jars files.

Create a remote Maven repository in Artifactory and name it jcenter. When creating the repository, configure it to proxy https://jcenter.bintray.com
Make sure that this Artifactory server is known to JFrog CLI, using the jfrog rt c show command. If not, configure it using the jfrog rt c command.
Set the JFROG_CLI_JCENTER_REMOTE_SERVER environment variable with the server ID of the Artifactory server you configured.
If you prefer to use a remote repository with a name different than jcenter, you can configure this name as the value of the JFROG_CLI_JCENTER_REMOTE_REPO environment variable.
