Got the same problem as Praveen A. Except that I got the following plugin setup:
Jenkins 2.12
Artifactory Plugin 2.5.1
Job DSL 1.48
Java 1.8
OS - Ubuntu

String artifactory_Name = 'ArtifactoryServer'
String artifactory_Url = 'http://artifactory.host.se/artifactory'

artifactoryGenericConfigurator {
details {
artifactoryName(artifactory_Name)
artifactoryUrl(artifactory_Url)
deployReleaseRepository

deploySnapshotRepository

resolveSnapshotRepository

userPluginKey('')
userPluginParams('')
}

Hi eyalbe,

Any update on this ? It would be very helpful if you provide an alternative way to do this.

Hi,
The job UI has two fields for the repository selection - a text field and a drop down list. You can choose to configure the repository using one of those fields. The other fields (text or drop down list) may be saved with an empty value in the config.xml. There's another indicator in the config.xml to determine which of the fields to use (when dynamicMode is true, the text fields is used).
Are you saying that when configuring a repository using the UI, the config.xml does not include the repository key as described above? If this is the case, can you provide the steps to reproduce this issue? Thanks!

Hi eyalbe ,

You didn't get my point. I am using dsl plugin to write config-as-code. If you look at the dsl code which I have provided in the description,

is given but as attached screenshot, the target repo is not getting loaded with auto generated configuration through the code written.

I am refreshing repositories manually in the configuration and choosing the value currently due to this issue.

Any updated on this issue

Here's whay this is happening:
The snippet in this issue includes the following:

keyFromText('libs-snapshot-local') keyFromSelect('') dynamicMode(false)

Notice that "dynamicMode" is set to false. It means that build expects "keyFromSelect" to have the repository value, but instead it is empty, That's the reason why the build is failing with "Target repository cannot be empty".
For the above example, the DSL can be fixed in one of the following ways:
Change "dynamicMode(false)" to "dynamicMode(true)"
OR
Change "keyFromSelect('')" to keyFromSelect('libs-snapshot-local'')

Please let me know if this helps.

HI eyalb,

I am encountering the same problem while trying to automate the job creation process.

Target repository field is empty after trying multiple times.

below is the code I am using.

Any solutions how that value can be populated, or any other way to integrate DSL with artifactory that solves the problem.

I could not find any help on google and ended up with this same issue discussed here.

I am using the latest version of DSL plugin .

configure { project ->
project / buildWrappers << 'org.jfrog.hudson.generic.ArtifactoryGenericConfigurator' {
details {

artifactoryUrl('abc')
artifactoryName('abc')

deployReleaseRepository

{

keyFromText('node-plugin-release-local') keyFromSelect('') dynamicMode(true)

{color:#ff0000}}

}
deployPattern('.zip ')
matrixParams('')
deployBuildInfo(true)
includeEnvVars(true)
envVarsPatterns {
includePatterns('')
excludePatterns('password,secret,key')
}
discardOldBuilds(true)
discardBuildArtifacts(true)

}

Someone pls help if you guys got the solution of this

No akshatmehta I didn't get the solution. I left it after the last comment from me. Artifactory repositories refresh is being done manually in my environment.

Hi,

Can someone help me on this.

The following configurations works for me:

freeStyleJob('seedJobMaven') \{
 wrappers \{
 artifactoryGenericConfigurator \{
 details \{
 artifactoryName('MH-Artifactory')
 artifactoryUrl('https://artifactory.dal.myhrtg.net/artifactory')
 deployReleaseRepository \{
 keyFromText('')
 keyFromSelect('my-repo-local')
 dynamicMode(false)
 }
 deploySnapshotRepository \{
 keyFromText('')
 keyFromSelect('my-repo-local')
 dynamicMode(false)
 }
 resolveReleaseRepository \{
 keyFromText('')
 keyFromSelect('my-repo-virtual')
 dynamicMode(false)
 }
 resolveSnapshotRepository \{
 keyFromText('')
 keyFromSelect('my-repo-virtual')
 dynamicMode(false)
 }
 userPluginKey(null)
 userPluginParams(null)
 }
 resolverDetails(null)
 deployerCredentialsConfig \{
 credentialsId(null)
 username(null)
 password(null)
 overridingCredentials(false)
 }
 resolverCredentialsConfig \{
 credentialsId(null)
 username(null)
 password(null)
 overridingCredentials(false)
 }
 deployBuildInfo(true)
 artifactoryCombinationFilter('')
 envVarsPatterns\{
 includePatterns('*')
 excludePatterns('')
 }
 discardBuildArtifacts(false)
 discardOldBuilds(false)
 customBuildName(null)
 overrideBuildName(false)
 deployPattern('*.tgz')
 resolvePattern('')
 matrixParams(null)
 useSpecs(false)
 uploadSpec \{
 spec(null)
 filePath(null)
 }
 downloadSpec \{
 spec(null)
 filePath(null)
 }
 includeEnvVars(true)
 multiConfProject(false)
 asyncBuildRetention(false)
 }
 }
}

Target repository is still empty after using the above code. 

This part of code is not working

deployReleaseRepository {
keyFromText('')
keyFromSelect('my-repo-local')
dynamicMode(false)
}

I want this to be present inside target directory space- 'dt-$JOB_NAME/$BUILD_ID'

for that i am using

deployReleaseRepository

But the field is empty after running dsl script and getting new job.
