Download Artifactory artifact using Jenkins and deploy

Question

We have a Jenkins/Maven/Wildfly/Artifactory job that builds and deploys EAR file on wildfly and then in Artifactory.

I'm trying to create another Jenkins manual job that retrieves a specific build from Artifactory and deploys to Wildfly.

How do I tell Jenkins to retrieve artifacts from Artifactory? I'm using 'Copy artifacts from another project'.

Is there a similar plugin that will help me to download artifacts from Artifactory?

Thanks!

The artifactory plugin for Jenkins has the option to "resolve" artifacts, i.e. download them from Artifactory.

This may require the Pro version of Artifactory though.

To configure it:

install the plugin (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Artifactory+Plugin)
on the job configuration page, enable "Generic Artifactory Integration".
go to "Resolved Artifacts" and enter the artifacts to resolve/download - the question-mark icon on that page will tell you more about the syntax.

Thanks! You are correct it requires the Pro version which is paid. Is there any other way to achieve it? – user5787708 Jan 14 '16 at 05:37

If you know your artifacts's URL, you can use curl or wget to download it directly in a shell build step. What I did is create a Python script that uses Artifactory's REST API to query and download the artifacts I need, and then I call that script from a shell build step. – tarantoga Jan 14 '16 at 07:14
@tarantoga , can you please share your python script , i require something like this for my project. – goldy021 Mar 16 '17 at 19:59
