Add possibility to upload "transactional"

Hi,

I would like a feature where all binary packages and the receipt are make available on the server only if all uploads have succeeded and are finished. If one upload fails, nothing should be available on the server. Maybe a feature line --all --as_transaction.

We are currently building a lot of different configurations of one package on our CI System. When all builds are finished (currently 4, Release/Debug and x64/x86, this will get more when more compilers need to be supported), I upload them to our conan server using the --all flag.

The problem is that the receipt is publish first, and then the binary packages are uploaded. This currently takes up to 2 minutes, and sometimes an upload fails. Then, other CI builds are using the newly uploaded component and building them “on the fly”, because the binary package is not available on the server. This is not desired, as some of the base components take some time to build.

Best, Claas

I think that quick, atomic move operation for remote server can solve the problem. One can upload packages from CI builders to ci channel and then “promote” them to stable:

conan move MyPackage/0.1/demo/ci demo/stable -r conan_server

The move operation can be useful also for local cache.

Hi,

1. Do you know whether access to the jfrog move and filespec commands are supported with Artifactory non-Administrator privileges?

Yes, they are. You need create and maybe overwrite permissions on one repo and delete permissions on the other.

1. Do you know of any examples of how to use the jfrog move commands from Jenkins Groovy? My attempts to Google for it only seem to show examples of uploading or downloading You cannot use the Jenkins-Artifactory plugin for this. You have two options: use the JFROG-CLI , or use the Artifactory API directly, for example with the [Jenkins HTTP-Request Plugin] (https://github.com/jenkinsci/http-request-plugin)

We use both, here is an example script for using JFrog CLI to login using Jenkins credentials and move a conan package.

withCredentials([credentialsId: 'artifactory-cred', passwordVariable: 'cred_pass', usernameVariable: 'cred_user')]) {
            sh("jfrog rt config --interactive=false --url=${artifactoryUrl} " +
                    "--user=\"${cred_user}\" --password=\"${cred_pass}\" --enc-password=true")
}
sh("jfrog rt move ${srcRepo}/${user}/${packageName}/${version}/${channel} ${targetRepo}")
