artifactory.product.version.properties is not existing in older builds so upgrades fail.

Seems like a lot of work to go back to every previous release to make sure that file is there. A quicker option is if that file is not there perhaps look for the installer-info.json file that was created with older versions.

I was able to work around the issue by copying the artifactory.product.version.properties file from the newer build and then editing it to contain the older version information.

We are acknowledging this issue. We will plan for a viable solution and update this thread at a later time.

[meiswjn]

We have the same issue in Ansible:

13:21:18  TASK [jfrog.platform.artifactory : Ensure jfrog_home_directory exists] *********
13:21:18  ok: [x01134745]
13:21:18  [WARNING]: Unable to find '/tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties' in
13:21:18  expected paths (use -vvvvv to see paths)
13:21:18  
13:21:18  TASK [jfrog.platform.artifactory : Set running_version] ************************

If this was introduced by https://github.com/jfrog/JFrog-Cloud-Installers/pull/369, it should be marked as a breaking change. Also, can you please provide a more detailed workaround or can the issue itself be fixed?

[Logeshwarsn]

@meiswjn From the above log ,we can see it is fetching from /tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties not from artifactory_home ? Could you please provide us more information on this ? How are you running this ansible playbook. And from which version of artifactory are you trying to upgrade ?

[meiswjn]

Hello,

Yes, I think the fetching itself is only done indirectly on the artifactory_home with the copy task. The actual task works on /tmp: https://github.com/jfrog/JFrog-Cloud-Installers/blob/7eeaf27d09a9af3db302d5438b4bb477f00fbe7a/Ansible/ansible_collections/jfrog/platform/roles/artifactory/tasks/upgrade.yml#L68

Our workaround was using version 10.17.0 of this ansible module. We actually didn't upgrade Artifactory at all - I think it just checked whether an update is needed. Our current version is 7.77.5

[meiswjn]

Hello,

Any news on this issue?

Thanks, Jan

[darthVikes]

I recently tried to upgrade again today and this is still not fixed in the latest version aka v10.19.5, so the upgrades are still broken.

TASK [jfrog.platform.artifactory : Check artifactory version] ** task path: /opt/repo/provisioning/collections/ansible_collections/jfrog/platform/roles/artifactory/tasks/upgrade.yml:59 fatal: [artifactoryhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "the remote file does not exist, not transferring, ignored"}

The above task is failing on :

• name: Check artifactory version ansible.builtin.fetch: src: "{{ artifactory_home }}/app/artifactory.product.version.properties" dest: "/tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties" flat: true changed_when: false

There is no artifactory.product.version.properties in our current version of artifactory. aka 7.19.4

Trying to see if I can copy a file there from the new version and modify its properties to our current version, but trying to find the info but for 7.19.4

Can someone advise where to get the info for the bottom two variables?

artifactory.product.version=7.19.4 artifactory.product.revision=71904900 artifactory.product.timestamp= artifactory.product.buildNumber=

Can this be added to the documentation as a known issue at least, and where to get the information to create this file pre-upgrade?

Or maybe find a way to create this file based on their current version before it tries to upgrade?

Thanks!

So seems like

https://github.com/jfrog/JFrog-Cloud-Installers/blob/3cd3a26e3384ae2313601ac906638d6bacf64a77/Ansible/ansible_collections/jfrog/platform/roles/artifactory/tasks/upgrade.yml#L59-

- name: Check artifactory version
  ansible.builtin.fetch:
    src: "{{ artifactory_home }}/app/artifactory.product.version.properties"
    dest: "/tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties"
    flat: true
  changed_when: false

- name: Set running_version
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    running_version: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.ini', 'artifactory.product.version', type='properties', file='/tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties') }}"

could be changed to ;

   - name: Check artifactory version
      ansible.builtin.uri:
        url: https://localhost/artifactory/api/system/version
        method: GET
        validate_certs: false
        return_content: true
      register: result

   - name: Set running_version
      ansible.builtin.set_fact:
        running_version: result.json.version

Although, the above needs to be done in a spot where the web server/app is still running, another option is to create the file in /tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties from the web api query.
