[Gradle] Cannot publish pom for project ':' since it does not contain the Maven plugin install task and task ':artifactoryPublish' does not specify a custom pom path.

[cobexer]

Running any Gradle task triggers lots of Cannot publish pom for project ':' since it does not contain the Maven plugin install task and task ':artifactoryPublish' does not specify a custom pom path. messages.

Example build.gradle to reproduce:

plugins {
  id 'java-gradle-plugin'
  id 'groovy'
  id 'maven-publish'
  id 'com.jfrog.artifactory' version '4.13.0'
}

group = "com.example.artifactory.gradle.test"
version = "1.2.3.9"

dependencies {
  implementation gradleApi()
  implementation localGroovy()
  implementation "com.google.guava:guava:28.2-jre"
}

gradlePlugin {
  plugins {
    simplePlugin {
      id = 'com.example.artifactory.gradle.test'
      implementationClass = 'com.example.artifactory.gradle.test.TestPlugin'
    }
  }
}

artifactory {
  contextUrl = "${artifactory_contextUrl}"
  publish {
    repository {
      repoKey = 'publish-test'
      username = artifactory_user
      password = artifactory_password
      maven = true
    }
    defaults {
      // this is needed because some of our project produce no artifacts but have dependencies (in lots of different custom configurations)
      configurations.each { conf ->
        if (conf.canBeResolved) publishConfigs(conf.name)
      }
      // this is needed because otherwise the artifactory plugin does _NOTHING_ publishToMavenLocal works just fine...
      project.publishing.publications.each { pub ->
        publications(pub.name)
      }
      publishPom = true
    }
  }
  resolve {
    repository {
      repoKey = 'dependencies'
      username = artifactory_user
      password = artifactory_password
      maven = true
    }
  }

Expected behavior:

• I expect that such a simple project (in terms of build.gradle setup of artifacts and dependencies) automatically publishes all artifacts, that publishToMavenLocal would publish, to artifactory.
• I expect that all dependencies of the build are listed in the build info of such a build (running with Jenkins) also of subprojects that have no artifacts! -> see also inline comments above
• and while we are at this: why are the build dependencies not published in the build infos? having bad jars on the build classpath is also something I would want to get notified by Xray.

So far it seems to be impossible to publish all artifacts and have all dependencies in the build-info without also having MEGABYTES of the warning above in the build logs (our actual builds have many more subprojects obviously)

[SandhyaBhatia]

I am facing the same issue on spotless checks.

[gagan1994]

Anyone found answer?

[sky-rdomanski]

same issue...

[ericdriggs]

bump the plugin to the latest version and add a publishing block, e.g.

plugins {
      id 'java-library'
      id 'maven-publish'
      id "com.jfrog.artifactory" version "4.21.0"
  }
  
  ...
  
 
  artifactoryPublish {
      skip = false //Skip build info analysis and publishing (false by default)
      contextUrl = artifactoryContextURL
      publications ('ALL_PUBLICATIONS')
  
      clientConfig.publisher.repoKey = artifactoryRepository
      clientConfig.publisher.username = "${artifactoryUser}"
      clientConfig.publisher.password = "${artifactoryToken}"
  }
  
  artifactory {
      contextUrl = artifactoryContextURL
      publish {
          repository {
              repoKey = artifactoryRepository
              username = "${artifactoryUser}"
              password = "${artifactoryToken}"
              maven = true
          }
  
          defaults {
              publications('ALL_PUBLICATIONS')
              publishConfigs('archives', 'published')
              publishBuildInfo = true
              publishArtifacts = true
              publishPom = true
              publishIvy = true
          }
      }
      clientConfig.setIncludeEnvVars(true)
  }
  
  publishing {
      publications {
          myLibrary(MavenPublication) {
              from components.java
          }
      }
  }

[cobexer]

This doesn't help for me!
And just adding a random publication is cumbersome, the java-gradle-plugin already adds proper publications...

What Gradle version are you using? I tried with both 6.2 and 7.0

[ericdriggs]

Using 7.0
Please post your build.gradle
Troubleshooting build.gradle is unfortunately a lot of trial and error. Without the publications block, I don't get the pom.xml

Ensure:

1. using latest plugin version: 4.21.0
2. using plugins id syntax, not apply plugins
3. don't use the org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle since you get that already from the plugin and an old version can mess it up

[sourcedelica]

I'm using Gradle 6.9. Plugin version 4.29.0. Single project.

plugins {
    id 'war'
    id 'maven-publish'
    id 'com.jfrog.artifactory' version '4.29.0'
}

// Let me know if you want more sections of my build.gradle

publishing {
    publications {
        maven(MavenPublication) {
            from components.web
            artifact createTar
        }
    }
}

artifactory {
    contextUrl = 'http://artifactory.mycorp.com/artifactory'
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = version.endsWith('SNAPSHOT') ? "twd-maven-snapshot-local-dev" : "twd-maven-local-dev"
            username = System.getenv('PUBLISH_USERNAME')
            password = System.getenv('PUBLISH_PASSWORD')
        }
        defaults {
            publications('ALL_PUBLICATIONS')
            publishConfigs('archives', 'published')
            properties = [
                    'build.branch': System.getenv('CI_COMMIT_BRANCH'),
                    'build.key': "${artifactId}-${System.getenv('CI_PIPELINE_ID')}"
            ]
        }
        publishBuildInfo = false   // FIXME - remove after RITM0074898 is fixed
        publishArtifacts = true
        publishPom = true
        publishIvy = false
    }
}

It does appear to be publishing the pom (see below). Maybe the error is spurious?

$ dotenv run gradle artifactoryPublish

Same issue even with Gradle-7.6.1 & Plugin version 4.31.4. Please, share update if anyone found any workaround to avoid a bunch of these error in build console logs?

[ericdriggs]

Here's the build.gradle I'm using to publish jars to artifactory with maven pom.xml, stripped down to the basics.

Using gradle 7.4.1

You'll need to ensure all the relevant ENV are set to use.

buildscript {
    ext {
        javaVersion = JavaVersion.VERSION_11
    }
