It seems like the most recent release of build-info-extractor is pulling in a dependency that is not published in mavenCentral.

The only place I can find file-specs-java is from oss.jfrog.org (https://oss.jfrog.org/ui/packages/gav:%2F%2Forg.jfrog.filespecs:file-specs-java?name=file-specs-java&type=packages). Was this an oversight as this indicates the documentation here (https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Gradle+Artifactory+Plugin) is no longer correct (cannot used the latest.release for build-info-extractor-gradle).

Why does mavenCentral even allow this?
(as of posting this, there are no entries here, even though mavenCentral has identified it as a package).

This is breaking our builds. Going to have to pin an earlier version of build-info-extractor-gradle

[DanielJRutledge]

Everything's broken for us as well; was this dependency supposed to make into mavenCentral?

[prudnitskiy]

Any solution for it? We have this issue also

[spartanhooah]

I was able to specify classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:4.24.5" and my build worked.

@haata @prudnitskiy @DanielJRutledge @spartanhooah
Thanks for reporting this issue.
The build-info uses https://releases.jfrog.io/artifactory/oss-releases repository to resolve the new file-spec-java library. Unfortunately, Gradle plugins are not allowed to download dependencies from this repository. Therefore the solution is, as @haata said, to publish file-spec-java to Maven Central.

We are working on publishing this library to Maven Central. Here is the PR which should resolve this issue: jfrog/file-specs-java#7.

As a workaround, you can downgrade to Gradle Artifactory plugin 4.24.5:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "org.jfrog.buildinfo:build-info-extractor-gradle:4.24.5"
  }
}
apply plugin: "com.jfrog.artifactory"

We're terribly sorry for this coincidence.

@haata @prudnitskiy @DanielJRutledge @spartanhooah
Gradle Artifactory plugin 2.28.3 is released. This version includes a fix for this issue.
We'd appreciate your feedback on that.

[DanielJRutledge]

The new one seems to work; though we had to introduce a new exception for the file-specs-java artifacts, as the licenses are not picked up for a couple days by Xray. It would be helpful to know whether you guys plan to introduce more artifact types.

We have an issue open with Jfrog support about the licenses for these artifacts not being picked up locally.
