Artifactory aql: find builds of job with given pro

Question

I am trying to query which build number(s) produced artifacts from build foo with artifact property vcs.Revision=aabbccddee123456.

In Artifactory 5.1.3.

I was trying like this so far:

curl -u user:apikey -i -X POST https://artifactory.foobar.com/artifactory/api/search/aql -H "content-type:text/plain" -T query.json

query.json:

builds.find(
{
  "module.artifact.item.repo":"snapshot-local",
  "name":"foo",
  "[e-mail]":"aabbccddee123456"
}
)

However, none of these 3 lines seem individually correct:

• builds.find({"module.artifact.item.repo":"snapshot-local"}) returns nothing,

• builds.find({"name":"foo"}) returns the same empty response,

• builds.find({"[e-mail]":"aabbccddee123456"}) also returns this:

{ "results" : [ ], "range" : { "start_pos" : 0, "end_pos" : 0, "total" : 0 } }

What am I doing wrong here? I do see in the webapp the builds I published with this name, and with the correct artifact properties.

Answer 1

Certain AQL queries requires a user with admin permissions. To ensure that non-privileged users do not gain access to information without the right permissions, users without admin privileges have the following restrictions:

1. The primary domain in the query may only be item.
2. The following three fields must be included in the include directive: name, repo, and path.

In your case, you are using the build domain in the query which requires admin permissions

Answer 2

Here's a working solution that will give build numbers (since giving admin rights to query builds is not a solution for us):

query.json:

items.find(
{
  "repo":"snapshot-local",
  "artifact.module.build.name":"foo",
  "[e-mail]":"aabbccddee123456"
}
).include("artifact.module.build.number")

This returns a list of all the artifacts that were built with the relevant properties, with the build number attached, e.g:

{
"results" : [ {
  "repo" : "snapshot-local",
  "path" : "foo/42",
  "name" : "a.out",
  "type" : "file",
  "size" : 123456789,
  "created" : "2018-07-05T12:34:56.789+09:00",
  "created_by" : "jenkins",
  "modified" : "2018-07-05T12:34:56.789+09:00",
  "modified_by" : "jenkins",
  "updated" : "2018-07-05T12:34:56.789+09:00",
  "artifacts" : [ {
    "modules" : [ {
      "builds" : [ {
        "build.number" : "42"
      } ]
    } ]
  } ]
},
[SNIP]
}
 ],
"range" : {
  "start_pos" : 0,
  "end_pos" : 30,
  "total" : 30
}
}

I can then parse this to extract build.number.
