Failed to set artifact in Artifactory using Gradle

Question

I want to deploy my Java library artifact to Artifactory. But I get the following error. Failed to deploy file: HTTP response code: 401. HTTP response message: Unauthorized.

I followed the gradle artifactory plugin guide

Below is my build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
 }

dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
    compile group: "com.squareup.retrofit", name: "retrofit", version: "1.7.0"
    compile group: "com.squareup.okhttp", name: "okhttp", version: "2.0.0"
    compile group: "com.squareup.okhttp", name: "okhttp-urlconnection", version: "2.0.0"

}
version = '1.0.0-SNAPSHOT'

group = 'com.xyz'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'http://localhost:8081/artifactory/libs-release'
            credentials {
                username = "${artifactory_user}"
                password = "${artifactory_password}"
            }
            name = "maven-main-cache"
        }

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath(group: 'org.jfrog.buildinfo', name: 'build-info-extractor-gradle', version: '3.0.1')
    }
}
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
repositories {
    add buildscript.repositories.getByName("maven-main-cache")
}
allprojects {
    apply plugin: 'com.jfrog.artifactory'
}

artifactory {
    contextUrl = "${artifactory_contextUrl}"   //The base Artifactory URL if not overridden by the publisher/resolver
    publish {
        repository {
            repoKey = 'libs-snapshot-local'
            username = "${artifactory_user}"
            password = "${artifactory_password}"
            maven = true

        }
        defaults {
            publications ('mavenJava')
        }
    }

}

publishing {
    publications {
        mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
            from components.java
        }
    }
}

Can someone lead me where I'm wrong

Answer 1

This can happen if ~ / .m2 / settings.xml or $ GRADLE_USER_HOME / gradle.properties files are damaged. Obviously, when you use an encrypted password to access Artifactory. Try to restore it again.
