Error: "Checksum deploy failed. No existing file with SHA1" during artifactoryPublish task

Hi,

I have called the artifactoryPublish task for uploading my custom WAR package and it is throwing the checksum error. I have also provided the code below and could you please met me know your valuable suggestions.

apply plugin: "com.jfrog.artifactory"
apply plugin: ‘maven-publish’

artifactory {
contextUrl = 'http://artifactory.repo.com
publish {
contextUrl = 'http://artifactory.repo.com
repository {
repoKey = 'libs-release-local’
username = ‘anonymous’
ivy {
ivyLayout = '[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[type]s/ivy-[revision].xml’
artifactLayout = '[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-revision.[ext]'
mavenCompatible = true
}
}

	defaults {
		publications ('maven')		
	}
}	
resolve {
	repository {
		repoKey = 'libs-release-local'   
		username = 'anonymous' 		      
	}
}

}

publishing {
publications {
maven(MavenPublication) {
groupId 'com.homedepot.sa.pt.pos’
artifactId 'SelfServiceWebApp’
version '2016.064.001’
artifact file(‘build/libs/SelfServiceWebApp-2016.064.001.war’)
}
}
}

I have provided the full error below… FYI

My issue is similar to yours. I am not sure how I am supposed to configure artifactoryPublish so that I can use the ‘groupId’ in ‘publications’. When I leave the ‘groupId’ undefined, then in my case the jar and POM are deployed as I expect. If I identify the groupId (similar to org.mycompany.division.name) then it I receive the following error: “[DEBUG] [org.jfrog.gradle.plugin.artifactory.task.BuildInfoBaseTask] Failed checksum deploy of checksum ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx’ with statusCode: 409”.

If you removed the groupId in the publications section what would happen? Being a newbie I believe that I am doing something wrong. This may not get you further but maybe it will.
