Download a snapshot artifact

[sqqqrly]

I am trying to download snapshot artifacts and stat data about them from my Artifactory. While everything else is working, I cannot get this to work. Is there a way to do this?

Example that works with wget:
http://somewhere.com:8090/artifactory/libs-snapshot-local/com/company/foo/bar/foobar-artifact/0.1-master-SNAPSHOT/foobar-artifacts-0.1-master-SNAPSHOT.py

If this is not possible, I would like to make it so.

Hi @sqqqrly, could you please post any diagnostics? What error do you see?

Hi @racktear. I am not getting an error. I just didnt see how I could get the latest from a snapshot path. What I did instead was get the names of all the artifacts in the path and manually choose the latest to download. Is there a better way?

@sqqqrly I believe you don't need any special support from the python-artifactory, because there is already support from the artifactory itself:
https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+REST+API#ArtifactoryRESTAPI-RetrieveLatestArtifact

Since the underlying mechanism in python-artifactory is just REST calls, you should be able to download artifacts by URLs like this:

http://localhost:8080/artifactory/libs-release-local/ch/qos/logback/logback-classic/0.9.9-SNAPSHOT/logback-classic-0.9.9-SNAPSHOT.jar

The SNAPSHOT keyword gets special treatment by artifactory, and it calculates the binary to return on the server side.

Please let me know if it works.

Although, treating such special URLs as symlinks and 'resolving' them via the pathlib-like interface looks better.
