problem deploying maven dependency to GitLab

I have a POM file that I use to deploy a library to a local maven repository. I want to deploy it to GitLab now, as per here, but while I get BUILD SUCCESS, I never get Uploading to gitlab-maven. I am not even sure it tries.

pom.xml:

Yes, I did try just mvn deploy, but I get unauthorized in that case, and it does not use the correct version, which is why I use the convoluted command above. I would prefer to keep using something like the above command as it is more flexible in my use case, so if someone could tell me why I don't even talk to gitlab, that would be great.

I am currently researching the 401 error - I saw lots of examples of that error, with solutions, on the boards. So no need to address that issue just yet. Just need to know why my POM and maven command combination above is not even talking to GitLab.

Update: As expected, found 401 error and fixed it. But I definitely need to figure out why mvn deploy uploads to gitlab but deploy:deploy-file does not, does not even seem to talk to gitlab. I sort of have to use deploy-file because I am not actually building anything, just uploading it to a repository. Maybe deploy-file does something weird that preempts upload to gitlab?

Incidentally, this is what I get if I don't use deploy-file:

Note how much more it does when I remove deploy-file. Granted, it also tries to rebuild things, which is why the jar file is virtually empty.

Solution

  • Solution in maven command line: changed -Durl=file:///home/<user id>/.m2/repository to -Durl=https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$GitLabProjectId/packages/maven, and added -DrepositoryId=gitlab-maven.

    I guess my assumption that deploy-file would fall back to pom.xml values was wrong, because I had to include -Durl option.

    If anyone has a better solution, tell me.
