Unable to upload artifact to Nexus Repository - S4SDK Pipeline

Question

I am trying to upload the artifact to Nexus repository using the Artifact deployment stage in the Jenkins pipeline. For doing this I am providing Jenkins with the Nexus credentials and the path to find the repository. But, this stage is failed with an error "the connection is refused to nexus".

However, I am able to access Nexus on http://localhost:8081/nexus.

Below is the code used in pipeline_config.yml file.

artifactDeployment:
    nexus:
      version: nexus2
      url: 'http://localhost:8081/nexus/'
      repository: myrepo
      credentialsId: 'nexus'
      additionalClassifiers:
        - type: jar
          classifier: classes

Could someone please suggest in resolving this issue?

Answer 1

On your VM, login to your Jenkins container

ex

docker exec -it s4sdk-jenkins-master bash

Then execute curl command to reach the nexus from there.

ex

curl http://<your VM's IP>:8081/nexus

You will be able to upload artifact to nexus, only if the host is reachable from within the Jenkins container.
