Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not find artifact

Question

I want to deploy a library to my companies remote repository.

It's the first time I want to deploy the library project to the remote repository.

I get the following error message:

org.sonatype.aether.transfer.ArtifactNotFoundException: Could not find artifact com.http:httpkit:jar:0.0.1 in internal.repo (http://jenkins.internal.com/)

Maybe I understand something complete wrong, but the error message says, that in the remote repository doesn't exist the artifact that I try to deploy for the first time. So of course there is not such artifact. Why does maven tries to fetch the artifact when I try to upload the artifact?

My pom file:

I call

mvn deploy

from command line

Any suggestion how to fix that problem?

Answer 1

Have you tried to add the server in your settings.xml file? The default settings xml is located in your ~/.m2/ directory. Should contain something like that:

<servers>
        <server>
            <id>my-internal-nexus-repo</id>
            <username>yourUserName</username>
            <password>yourPassword</password>
        </server>
</servers>

Here is a link to the http://maven.apache.org/settings.html maven doc for adding servers.

One other thing which might be a shot in the dark. I've noticed you are trying to connect to what the url suggests might be a Jenkins instance. Jenkins is a Continious Integration server and seemed strange to me that you are finding your repositories there. I would expect a Nexus url or something.

Answer 2

A possible cause is that you simply misspelt the repository name, or used the wrong repository name entirely

So using the OP's example:

Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not find artifact com.http:httpkit:jar:0.0.1 in internal.
repo (http://jenkins.intrnal.com)

could actually mean

Failed to deploy artifacts: Could not find internal.repo (http://jenkins.intrnal.com)

Answer 3

We have faced this issue. After couple of hours, we figured it is disk space issue in internal repository.

Answer 4

I ran into a similar problem and solved by

1. Adding my nexus server as a nonProxyHost in settings.xml
2. Setting the 3rd party's Repository Policy to Release rather than Snapshot.

See more details in my stackoverflow answer.

Note that I was doing a "mvn deploy:deploy-file" (which uploads a 3rd party artifact to the shared repository) whereas you are doing a "mvn deploy" (which uploads YOUR artifact from your built project to the shared repository), but the root cause maybe the same.

Answer 5

In my case my server url in snapshotRepository section of pom.xml was pointing to http, while my internal repository was hosted in https.
