Emmanuel Lécharny commented on MRELEASE-880:
--------------------------------------------
In this context, the error 400 does certainly not mean that there is already an
existing release, because I'm just cutting a release ! And doing a whole
release again does not work either, best case, it fails again, somewhere else.
The pb is that my release is not about a few modules and a few thousands lines
of code : Apache Directory release is about 50 modules and around 500 K lines
of code.
Sounds like there is no workaround for the moment ?
> Cannot restart from a failure
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: MRELEASE-880
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-880
> Project: Maven Release Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: perform
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Emmanuel Lécharny
> Priority: Blocker
>
> It's currently quite impossible to cut a release on a big Apache project if
> the remote server has hickups.
> I tried to release Apache Directory Server this morning, and for some unknown
> reasons, I get various and random failures like :
> {noformat}
> Failed to execute goal
> org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.8.1:deploy
> (default-deploy) on project apacheds-core-api: Failed to deploy
> artifacts: Could not transfer artifact
> org.apache.directory.server:apacheds-core-api:jar:tests:2.0.0-M17
> from/to apache.releases.https
> (https://repository.apache.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2):
> Failed to transfer file:
> https://repository.apache.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/org/apache/directory/server/apacheds-core-api/2.0.0-M17/apacheds-core-api-2.0.0-M17-tests.jar.
> Return code is: 400, ReasonPhrase: Bad Request.
> {noformat}
> (note that if I restart the {{release:perform}}, the error I will get will be
> different).
> There is no way I can restart the perform from another point (like the
> failing module) but the very beginning.
> At the very end, I did a {{mvn deploy -Papache-release}} from
> {{target/checkout}} as a workaround...
> The real pb is that the release plugin should not simply bail when it gets
> some error attempting to reach a remote server. Asking the user about doing a
> retry should be the way to go.
