Monkey created MNG-7088: --------------------------- Summary: ${project.basedir} in repo definition resolves to child project directory Key: MNG-7088 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7088 Project: Maven Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.6.3 Reporter: Monkey
I have a Maven child project in a directory "child". I have also a parent project "local-lib" in the directory "child/local-lib" which contains a repository with jars. The repository is declared in "child/local-lib/pom.xml" as <repositories> <repository> <id>repo</id> <url>file:///${project.basedir}/repo</url> </repository> </repositories> The child project has "child/pom.xml" where it refers to its parent as follows: <parent> <groupId>someGroup</groupId> <artifactId>local-lib</artifactId> <version>0.0.1</version> <relativePath>./local-lib</relativePath> </parent> When I type "mvn clean install" in the child project, that is, in the directory "child", the child project attempts to search for a non-existing repository "child/repo", instead of "child/local-lib/repo". However, replacing "${project.basedir}" in "child/local-lib/pom.xml" with the full path to "child/local-lib" on my disk makes the child project use the correct repository child/local-lib/repo. This in turn, placed in child/local-lib/pom.xml as before, but with additional "local-lib": <repositories> <repository> <id>repo</id> <url>file:///${project.basedir}/local-lib/repo</url> </repository> </repositories> works this time correctly if I use maven from the directory "child", but not if I use directly "child/local-lib/pom.xml" from "child/local-lib". The latter creates a path with local-lib included twice. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
