Overview

This moudle defines a single puppet custom type/provider for downloading nexus artifact.

It was originally based on https://forge.puppetlabs.com/ceh/nexus to avoid potential namesapce confliction, and was quickly realized it does not work well with changing artifact of same version number, like snapshots. Patching the code is problematic, since if nexus is need to be queried, it is better to be done with ruby code, which we cannot be embedded in puppet module. At the same time, functions are pure ruby code and were executed on puppet master. This custom type allows to download artifact from nexus maven repository including snapshots repoistory, since it compares the checksum of artifacts of the same base version. Maven artifacts in snapshots repository can take the form of artifactid-version-SNAPSHOT-timestamp.suffix, though they are the same base versions, but timestamp varies.

Module Description

A custom type/provider ent_nexus_getartifact is implemented to download artifact from nexus.

Setup

  • It fetches artifact from nexus to local file system.
