[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2560?page=comments#action_76421 ] Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-2560: ------------------------------------
Applying this patch locally and trying out the bootstrap. I'm sure it will work but I'll commit when my bootstrap completes here. > (patch) no useful error message when M2_HOME is misconfigured during bootstrap > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MNG-2560 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2560 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Bootstrap & Build > Affects Versions: 2.1 > Reporter: Dan Fabulich > Attachments: patch.txt > > > Run the bootstrap build, but configure M2_HOME to be some random directory > "foo". The tests will fail as maven will be installed into > foo/../maven-2.1-SNAPSHOT, but then configured to actually use "foo" as the > execution directory. > The attached patch modifies the BootstrapInstaller to accept a "destDir" > instead of a "prefix", and then double-checks that the destDir is a validly > named destination before actually running the build. This allows the build > to fail clearly and fast when this common configuration error is made. The > README is also updated to highlight more clearly that you *must* M2_HOME > correctly in order for the build to work. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
