Artifactory migration user plugin fails with No signature of method: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy195.localRepoDescriptorByKey() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String

I was trying out the migration helper user plugin (https://github.com/jfrog/artifactory-user-plugins/tree/master/migration/artifactoryMigrationHelper) on our Artifactory instance and hit the following problem while executing the user plugin:

Failed to setup Artifactory migration: No signature of method: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy195.localRepoDescriptorByKey() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [artifactory-build-info]\nPossible solutions: virtualRepoDescriptorByKey(java.lang.String

We are using Artifactory 7.19.8.

It seems that the plugin does not support the builtin repository artifactory-build-info. One way to fix this was to exclude the build-info repo:

    log.debug "Existing local repositories: $existingRepositories"
    def missingRepositories = localConfig.localRepositories.localRepository.findAll {
        !(it.key in existingRepositories && it.key != "artifactory-build-info")
    }

EDIT:
The problem is that the plugin uses two ways of accessing repositories. The ones from remote are fetched via the REST API which does not return the internal artifactory-build-info repository. While obtaining local repositories on source Artifactory is done via some internal APIs which on the other side return the artifactory-build-info.

Same problem happens with repositories that do not exist yet on target. Seems that the remote creation of the repos in this plugin is broken.

There is a PR #404 for this
