Jeffry Gaston updated MNG-5806:
-------------------------------
Attachment: maven-relativePath-symlink-error.zip
Unzip maven-relativePath-symlink-error.zip and run test.sh to observe the error
> Inconsistent resolution of parent.relativePath with symlinks
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5806
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5806
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.3.1, 3.3.2
> Environment: Ubuntu
> Reporter: Jeffry Gaston
> Attachments: maven-relativePath-symlink-error.zip
>
> Original Estimate: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 1h
>
> Suppose a reactor pom.xml, R, specifies that it has a child module, C.
> Suppose that C exists but not is actually located at some other, unrelated
> path to R (not one directory deeper than R).
> Suppose that the working directory for R contains a symlink, S (which looks
> like C), with the same name as C, pointing at the directory containing C.
> Suppose that C specifies a parent P and provides a relativePath at which to
> find P.
> Suppose that P exists at the specified relative path.
> Then, when a user `mvn clean install` while R is in the working directory,
> then Maven will state that P does not exist, and it will display the wrong
> path to P: the value it will list will be the value that could be computed
> using string manipulation based on the location of R, the name of C, and the
> relativePath to P, without first resolving the symlink that is C.
