Issue

You are using a Pipeline Job and the Artifactory plugin to upload some files in a repository

def uploadSpec = """{
  "files": [
    {
      "pattern": "bazinga/*froggy*.zip",
      "target": "bazinga-repo/froggy-files"
    }
 ]
}"""
server.upload(uploadSpec)

but the upload fails with a 404 error

[Pipeline] artifactoryUpload

Environment

Resolution

With using Pipeline and the upload information, you need to add the / in the end of the target to indicate that the deployment is done to a folder.

In the previous sample you need to replace "target": "bazinga-repo/froggy-files" by "target": "bazinga-repo/froggy-files/".

When there is no / in the end, the file name is actually being changed to the one that you have specified in the target: bazinga-repo/froggy-files.

This can also cause issues if you already have a folder with that name.
