Deploy Tomcat Application snapshot artifacts

[Nathan Wilhelmi]

Hello,

We are using the deploy tomcat app to deploy nightly builds (snapshots). The war file gets saved as an artifact with the name product-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war

Is there any to get this to be version agnostic? I would like to do: product-*.war, it's the only artifact but it won't work. I would rather not have to update builds when the version number changes.

Thanks!

Why not use a script task that runs before the Tomcat deployment task to copy or move the file from product-X.Y-SNAPSHOT.war to product.war?

You will need to use Artifact Sharing to download the artifact to the local directory.

Artifact sharing is enabled, that is how I moved it into the artifacts directory, perhaps I need to call it something else?

[Nathan Wilhelmi]

That would work, how do get the reference to the artifact directory?

mv ./artifacts/product*.war ./artifacts/product.war

Doesn't work....

How does the move fail? It cant find the file?

[Nathan Wilhelmi]

The problem appears to be using the directory name 'artifacts' once I change it to something else it worked fine.

Thanks!
