Python script to upload artifact to nexus using the nexus API

[of...@playstudios-il.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to upload an artifact (json file) to the maven repository from a python script. I need to use the rest api and not maven.

curl command from shell is working well:

curl -X POST -u <user>:<password> "https://nexus:8081/service/rest/v1/components?repository=<repository name>" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "maven2.groupId=<group id>" -F "maven2.artifactId=<id>" -F "maven2.version=1.0.0" -F "maven2.asset1=@/path/to/asset.json;type=application/json" -F "maven2.asset1.extension=json"

I was unable to "translate" it to python, using either "requests" or "urllib2" or "urllib3", no matter what I tried. (I keep getting 400s or 500s). I prefer not using the "subprocess" command to execute it.

Has anyone succeeded in doing that or has any idea how it can be accomplished?

Thanks!

Identical frustrations recently trying to convert into Ruby a simple curl file upload to Nexus3.. finally worked when I made sure I set both the Content-Length header (to length of content)  and the Content-Type header (to in my case 'text/plain'; in your case probably 'application/json')

For what it's worth, I was able to  to do the following:

>>> auth = ('myUser', 'myPass')

>>> url = 'https://nexus-repository.example.com/repository/RawFilesRepo'

>>> path = '/testing/stuff.tar.gz'
>>> content = open('stuff.tar.gz', 'rb').read()

>>> resp = requests.put(url+path, data=content, auth=auth)

>>> resp

<Response [201]>

Granted, this was to a RAW repository and not Maven, but it Did The Thing™.

Something like the following should work:

import requests

params = (

    ('repository', 'maven-releases'),

)

files = {

    'maven2.groupId': (None, 'com.example'),

    'maven2.artifactId': (None, 'test-app'),

    'maven2.version': (None, '1.0.0'),

    'maven2.asset1': ('example.json', open('example.json', 'rb')),

    'maven2.asset1.extension': (None, 'json'),

}

response = requests.post('http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/components', params=params, files=files, auth=('admin', 'admin123'))
