artifactory.product.version.properties is not existing in older builds so upgrades fail.

Seems like a lot of work to go back to every previous release to make sure that file is there. A quicker option is if that file is not there perhaps look for the installer-info.json file that was created with older versions.

I was able to work around the issue by copying the artifactory.product.version.properties file from the newer build and then editing it to contain the older version information.

We are acknowledging this issue. We will plan for a viable solution and update this thread at a later time.

We have the same issue in Ansible:

13:21:18  TASK [jfrog.platform.artifactory : Ensure jfrog_home_directory exists] *********
13:21:18  ok: [x01134745]
13:21:18  [WARNING]: Unable to find '/tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties' in

13:21:18  TASK [jfrog.platform.artifactory : Set running_version] ************************

If this was introduced by https://github.com/jfrog/JFrog-Cloud-Installers/pull/369, it should be marked as a breaking change. Also, can you please provide a more detailed workaround or can the issue itself be fixed?

@meiswjn From the above log ,we can see it is fetching from /tmp/artifactory.product.version.properties not from artifactory_home ? Could you please provide us more information on this ? How are you running this ansible playbook. And from which version of artifactory are you trying to upgrade ?

[meiswjn]

Hello,

Yes, I think the fetching itself is only done indirectly on the artifactory_home with the copy task. The actual task works on /tmp: https://github.com/jfrog/JFrog-Cloud-Installers/blob/7eeaf27d09a9af3db302d5438b4bb477f00fbe7a/Ansible/ansible_collections/jfrog/platform/roles/artifactory/tasks/upgrade.yml#L68

Our workaround was using version 10.17.0 of this ansible module. We actually didn't upgrade Artifactory at all - I think it just checked whether an update is needed. Our current version is 7.77.5
