jf conan

Run native Conan commands with Artifactory integration and optional build-info collection.

When to Use

Use jf conan to run Conan C/C++ package manager commands with Artifactory integration. This enables:

• Resolving Conan packages from Artifactory's Conan repository
• Publishing packages to Artifactory
• Collecting build-info for C/C++ builds

Prerequisites

• Conan must be installed and configured with conan remote add to point to your Artifactory Conan repository.
• Configure a server with jf config add or jf c add.
• Authentication to Artifactory is required.

Install Dependencies with Build-Info

jf conan install . --build=missing --build-name=<build-name> --build-number=<build-number>

Where:

• --build=missing builds packages from source if pre-built binaries are not available
• <build-name> is a name for the build (e.g., my-cpp-app)
• <build-number> is a number or identifier for the build run (e.g., 1)

For example:

jf conan install . --build=missing --build-name=my-cpp-app --build-number=1

Create a Package

jf conan create . --name=hello --version=1.0 --build-name=<build-name> --build-number=<build-number>

For example:

jf conan create . --name=hello --version=1.0 --build-name=my-cpp-app --build-number=1

Important Notes

• No separate config command: Unlike other build tools, Conan does not have a jf conan-config command. Configure Conan remotes to point to Artifactory using standard conan remote add.
• Conan 2.x compatibility: Ensure your Conan version is compatible with the CLI version. Check conan --version and jf --version.
• Build-info: Use --build-name and --build-number to track dependencies and artifacts.
