I am attempting to delete some components in a repository via the nexus 3 api
I have followed the instructions in the following question Using the Nexus3 API how do I get a list of artifacts in a repository
and have modified it as follows to delete an artifact
import groovy.json.JsonOutput
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.Component
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.Query
import org.sonatype.nexus.repository.storage.StorageFacet
def repoName = "eddie-test"
def startDate = "2016/01/01"
def artifactName = "you-artifact-name"
def artifactVersion = "1.0.6"
log.info(" Attempting to delete for repository: ${repoName} as of startDate: ${startDate}")
def repo = repository.repositoryManager.get(repoName)
StorageFacet storageFacet = repo.facet(StorageFacet)
def tx = storageFacet.txSupplier().get()
tx.begin()
// build a query to return a list of components scoped by name and version
Iterable<Component> foundComponents = tx.findComponents(Query.builder().where('name = ').param(artifactName).and('version = ').param(artifactVersion).build(), [repo])
// extra logic for validation goes here
if (foundComponents.size() == 1) {
tx.deleteComponent(foundComponents[0])
}
tx.commit()
log.info("done")
however when I interrogate the maven-metadata.xml in http://localhost:32769/repository/eddie-test/com/company/you-artifact-name/maven-metadata.xml the version is still listed. i.e.
<metadata> <groupId>com.company</groupId> <artifactId>you-artifact-name</artifactId> <versioning> <release>1.0.7</release> <versions> <version>1.0.6</version> <version>1.0.7</version> </versions> <lastUpdated>20161213115754</lastUpdated> </versioning>
(deleting the component via the delete component button in the ui, updates the maven-metadata.xml as expected)
So is there a way to make sure that the file is updated when deleting via the API?
