How do I configure autocreate? where? Is it documented?

[w2n1ck]

you have two options:

• specify the uuid of project (will not auto create obviously)
• specify the name and version of the project (it will automatically be created if it doesn't exist)

Sample pipeline

node {
    stage "Publish Dependency-Track results"
    
    dependencyTrackPublisher artifact: 'bom.xml', artifactType: 'bom', projectName: 'Acme Example', projectVersion: '1.0', synchronous: true
    
    //dependencyTrackPublisher artifact: 'bom.xml', artifactType: 'bom', projectId: '3a38aedf-e9e9-4e0a-8913-2d99951aa76d', synchronous: true
}

Console output

Entering stage Publish Dependency-Track results
Proceeding
[Pipeline] dependencyTrackPublisher
[DependencyTrack] Publishing artifact to Dependency-Track - http://192.168.1.16:8080
[DependencyTrack] The artifact was successfully published
[DependencyTrack] Polling Dependency-Track for BOM processing status
[DependencyTrack] Looking up id of newly created project
[DependencyTrack] Processing findings
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS

The projectName and projectVersion can obviously be variables injected from your build as well.

Its documented in the swagger.

https://docs.dependencytrack.org/integrations/rest-api/

Also note, the Jenkins plugin is not maintained here. It has its own maintainer independent of this project.

No, I'm using the DT Jenkins Plugin, and I want the plugin to create the project automatically. Of course, give to PROJECT_CREATION_UPLOAD.

POSTing to the REST API use "autoCreate=true" and specify "projectName=YOUR_NEW_NAME_HERE". Optionally you can also specify a "projectVersion".

I tested the following (DependencyTrack 4.2.1):

curl -X "POST" "/api/v1/bom" \
    -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; charset=utf-8; boundary=__X_CURL_BOUNDARY__" \
    -H "X-API-Key: %your_api_key_with_permission_PROJECT_CREATION_UPLOAD%" \
    -F "projectName=%your project name%" \
    -F "autoCreate=true"
    -F "bom=@bom.xml"
