Publish tar.gz file to Nexus

[Jason Tran]

Hello there,

This is problem I am trying to solve:

1. checkout code from Github to a local directory D
2. run configure command inside directory D
3. create a tar.gz for directory
4. upload taz.gz file to Nexus

I am stuck at step 3:
- I can specify the verison in Maven pom.xml file, but is there a way to automatically create a build version every time Jenkins is run?
- If I specify <packaging>tar.gz</packaging> in pom.xml file, I would get: Unknown packaging: gz @ line 6, column 13


If I specify jar inside packaging, there is no error, and files are upload to Nexus successfully.

Any advice would help, thanks!

Hi,

simplest solution is to use build-helper-maven-plugin

http://www.mojohaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/attach-artifact-mojo.html

Kind regards

The assembly plugin is also an alternative: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/ (which can do creation of the archive, as well as attach it to he build).

I tried to search for these plugins under Available tab of Jenkins Manage Plugins but couldn't find them. Are they appear as different names in Jenkins plugin?

Many thanks,

They are Maven plugins. The proposed solutions are unrelated to Jenkins.

Ah sorry - I just saw the one maven plugin mentioned and found the other better IMHO alternative.

Yes - they are indeed maven plugins.

ok thanks! I guess I should re-post and clarify I am looking for solution within Jenkins.

follow suggestion, I am using Assembly Plugin, but still having trouble create tar.gz for Directory RE

Here is my pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.o$
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>Auc</groupId>
<artifactId>RE</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.112</version>
<!-- <packaging>tgz</packaging> -->
<name>RE Repository</name>
<url>http://nexus1.ccorp.com/nexus</url>
<build>
<plugins>
  <plugin>
     <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>2.6</version>
     <executions>
       <execution>
         <configuration>
           <descriptors>
             <descriptor>format.xml</descriptor>
           </descriptors>
         </configuration>
       </execution>
     </executions>
   </plugin>
 </plugins>
</build>
</project>

Here is my format.xml file, RE directory is where I checked out the code and want to create tar.gz for it

<assembly
    xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd">
    <id>bundle</id>
    <formats>
       <format>tar.gz</format>
    </formats>
    <moduleSets>
            <moduleSet>
                    <sources>
                            <fileSets>
                                    <fileSet>
                                            <directory>/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/nightly_build/workspace/RE</directory>
                                    </fileSet>
                            </fileSets>
                    </sources>
            </moduleSet>
    </moduleSets>
    <includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>

</assembly>

We end up using mvn deploy:

mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=Home -DartifactId=RE -Dversion=0.0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=tar.gz -DrepositoryId=Auc -Durl=http://nexus1.ccorp.com/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots -Dfile=RE-0.0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.tar.gz

Just being in same situation, I have some docker containers which are being used and configuration of multiple applications is being updated during time. I would like to export docker container into tar.xz and upload it to nexus as kind of latest available image. Will try this.
