RebuildMaven2MetadataTask fails

post by robin.laegler on Feb 6, 2023

I have the problem that the Repair task fails everytime I try to run it, but the metadata is visible on the Nexus UI:

Can anybody help me here? Do I need to restore the backup or is it possible to solve this using the Repair tasks Nexus provides?

Somehow there is a file in blob storage marked as deleted when it shouldn’t be. Try editing the “D:\Data\Nexus\sonatype-work\nexus3\blobs\default\content\vol-25\chap-05\42c0eadd-e536-4500-8a4e-6e27ad69e702.properties” and remove the “deleted=true” line.

Hello Rich, thanks for the response!

this fixed the issue regarding the one artefact.

But I have additional artefacts, which have the same issue.

Is there a way to get rid of the and delete the line all by one?

Maybe there is also a Nexus Task for that?!
