Download fails through virtual repo

[jgeorgeson]

I have a virtual repo to aggregate Maven Central and our internal Maven artifacts. There is a settings.xml deployed in a local repo that is included in the virtual repo. Downloading the settings.xml with jfrog-cli finds no artifacts using the virtual repo, but succeeds using the actual repo. Downloading from the virtual repo with curl works fine.

Thanks for reporting this @jgeorgeson. We can fix this easily by skipping the AQL search when you're requesting a download of a single file (in your case the settings.xml). We will add this to the next release.

I have a similar issue when trying to download artefacts, based on a property search. It works fine against a single, local repo, however fails when searching a virtual repo that comprises two local repos.

@mgherman, we opened RTFACT-9870 so that Artifactory can support AQL searches on virtual repositories. Currently, as you can see in the CLI's console output, Artifactory returns 0 results for the AQL query sent.
Artifactory should have this support during Q2 of this year and as a result, the CLI should be able to download from virtual repositories.
In addition to that, as mentioned in this thread, from next CLI release, the AQL search will be skipped from downloads of a single file, enabling you to download the file from a virtual repository.

Just wanted to update that the work on supporting AQL swatches on Virtual Repositories is already in progress. We'd like to have this released soon.

Version 1.2.0 is released and includes the following:
In case of a single file download, the AQL search is skipped and you can therefore download from a Virtual Repository. Once RTFACT-9870 is implemented in Artifactory, this issue will be completely resolved.

@mgherman, @jgeorgeson and all, version 4.8.1 of Artifactory includes this capability and enables downloading from a Virtual Repository using the CLI.

Awesome! thanks!
