Hi all,
I posted to Stackoverflow at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31600670/artifactory-trace-finds-artifact-gradle-does-not though I haven’t received any replies and I’m reaching out to try and find a solution and appreciate if anyone can suggest what may be going wrong here.
In summary to the below, gradle isn’t resolving Artifactory virtual repositories (libs-release) but will resolve an actual repository (libs-release-local). But if I use an actual repository then there is no connection to the remote-repos repository and the external dependencies won’t resolve. However I can hit the virtual repository URL in a browser, using Curl or with a ?trace to show Artifactory resolution and it works fine. I need to know why Gradle can’t resolve the dependency - what could be causing this?
When I gradle clean build the project with a dependency on an artifact in Artifactory gradle fails to find it. It errors with:
* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':compile'.
> Could not find apirCommon.jar (au.com.apir:apirCommon:1.0).
Searched in the following locations:
http://devsvr:8090/artifactory/libs-release/au/com/apir/apirCommon/1.0/apirCommon-1.0.jar
I can hit this location with a browser or Curl to download the artifact or have a trace on it:

Why can’t Gradle download it? It isn’t being downloaded to my local .gradle cache.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20147980/gradle-could-not-resolve-dependency-from-artifactory has a similar problem though I am using the http://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Gradle+Artifactory+Plugin.
Any thoughts?
Update
I changed my repo from the virtual libs-release to the actual libs-release-local and it worked. I haven’t changed the configurations from the default in Artifactory and the virtual libs-release includes libs-release-local as a selected repository. Regardless, this virtual repository is resolved when going through curl, browser or ?trace, but not when going through Gradle. Why?
And other problem is that then the remote repositories (setup through the virtual libs-release) are never used so the build fails as it can’t find the remote artifacts.
