Fails to install current nexus (3.76 and newer)

[bgp-sz]

The setup fails in one of the groovy scripts:

googlecompute.nexus: TASK [ansible-thoteam.nexus3-oss : Calling Groovy script setup_privileges_from_list] *** googlecompute.nexus: fatal: [default]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "connection": "close", "content_length": "270", "content_type": "application/json", "date": "Wed, 12 Feb 2025 15:27:17 GMT", "elapsed": 1, "failed_when_result": true, "json": {"name": "setup_privileges_from_list", "result": "javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.sonatype.nexus.security.internal.SecurityApiImpl.getSecuritySystem() is applicable for argument types: () values: []"}, "msg": "Status code was 400 and not [200]: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request", "redirected": false, "server": "Nexus/3.77.0-08 (COMMUNITY)", "status": 400, "url": "http://localhost:8081/service/rest/v1/script/setup_privileges_from_list/run", "x_content_type_options": "nosniff"}

This happens while trying to install 3.77.0-08, but has started to happen since 3.76.x - The last version working was 3.75.1-01

Correct.
The privileges groovy script does not work with 3.76+ anymore.

I have created a fork of this role at https://github.com/CloudKrafter/nexus-ansible-collection which has most issues that are still present in this repo fixed.

I've also started a discussion on how to proceed with the nexus_oss role when it comes to Groovy scripts. See: https://github.com/orgs/CloudKrafter/discussions/17

I have a fix as proposed in the discussion ready to merge/release.

Side note; @zeitounator and I are discussing options of either merging projects or archiving this project. More information on that will be provided at a later date.

We'll do whatever is best for the community, that's why I'm keeping backwards compatibility in mind for the changes in the CloudKrafter/nexus-collection.

Thanks for the update. I generally agree that moving away from grovy scripts is a good idea for stability and maintainability.

I will have a look at your new role and discuss internally if we want to migrate over once we have resources for that.

Unfortunately I can't merge changes in this repository.

But you're free to copy the changes / code from my collection and work around it for the time being.
