Hervé Boutemy commented on MNG-6198: ------------------------------------ ok, found why th eexisting IT did not fail: if {{.mvn}} directory is in the same directory than {{-f pom.xml}}, it is correctly detected (by accident: if {{.mvn}} is not found, default value is the directory from {{pom.xml}}) the failure happens if {{.mvn}} has to be found in a parent directory, since as you pointed out, the search does not start from {{pom.xml}} directory but from current dir... I'll improve MNG-5889 IT > mvn script fails to locate .mvn directory when pom location specified with -f > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6198 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6198 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 3.5.0-alpha-1, 3.5.0-beta-1 > Reporter: Stephen Connolly > Assignee: Stephen Connolly > Fix For: 3.5.0 > > > Steps to reproduce > {code} > $ mkdir apache > $ cd apache > $ git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git > $ mkdir .mvn > $ cd .mvn > $ echo -DskipTests > maven.config > $ cd ../maven > $ mvn install # notice tests are skipped > $ cd ../.. > $ mvn install -f apache/maven/pom.xml # notice tests not skipped (bug) > $ cd apache > $ mvn install -f maven/pom.xml # notice tests are skipped (accident) > {code} > The issue is that we do not search for the .mvn folder from the directory > specified from {{-f}} rather from the current working directory -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
