Promote using cUrl

Even though there is an endpoint to make a build through cUrl, it is only advisable to do a last resort approach. For more info on what the JSON looks like for such a call, look at the example on JFrogs webpage.

In order to make the build itself, either use the jenkins plugin, the gradle plugin, or the CLI.

look at the builds

In order to look at the builds,

curl -i -X GET "$ARTIFACTORY_URL"/api/build/

curl -i -X GET -H "$AUTH_HEADER" "$ARTIFACTORY_URL"/api/build/jenkins-artifactory-plugin/22

{
 "status": "staged",                            // new build status (any string)
 "comment" : "Tested on all target platforms.", // An optional comment describing the reason for promotion. Default: ""
 "ciUser": "builder",                           // The user that invoked promotion from the CI server
 "timestamp" : ISO8601,                 // the time the promotion command was received by Artifactory (It needs to be unique), 
                                                // the format is: 'yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ'. Example: '2016-02-11T18:30:24.825+0200'.
 "dryRun" : false,                              // run without executing any operation in Artifactory, but get the results to check if the operation can succeed. Default: false
 "sourceRepo" : "libs-snapshot-local",          // optional repository from which the build's artifacts will be copied/moved
 "targetRepo" : "libs-release-local",           // optional repository to move or copy the build's artifacts and/or dependencies
 "copy": false,                                 // whether to copy instead of move, when a target repository is specified. Default: false
 "artifacts" : true,                            // whether to move/copy the build's artifacts. Default: true
 "dependencies" : false,                            // whether to move/copy the build's dependencies. Default: false.
 "scopes" : [ "compile", "runtime" ],           // an array of dependency scopes to include when "dependencies" is true
 "properties": {                                // a list of properties to attach to the build's artifacts (regardless if "targetRepo" is used).
     "components": ["c1","c3","c14"],
     "release-name": ["fb3-ga"]
 },
 "failFast": true                               // fail and abort the operation upon receiving an error. Default: true
}

Set properties on the artifacts of a build

curl -i -X POST -H "$AUTH_HEADER" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -T promote.json "$ARTIFACTORY_URL"/api/build/promotejenkins-artifactory-plugin/29

Hint: If you do not want to promote your build, but want to add properties to all the artifacts then replace the targetRepo with sourceRepo

{
    "status": "L3",
    "sourceRepo": "sal-generic-gradle-3",
    "copy": true,
    "artifacts": true,
    "properties": {
        "components": [
            "c1",
            "c3",
            "c14",
            "hej igen"
        ],
        "release-name": [
            "fb3-ga"
        ]
    }
}
