Monkey updated MNG-7088:
------------------------
Description:
Maven docs say that ${project.basedir} points to the directory containing the
pom.xml file, but does not say, which pom.xml file. As it turns out in the
example below, it can be the file in the directory where mvn is called, and not
really the file where the property is used.
If the problems as the one below cannot be resolved cleanly, would adding a
property, which always points to pom.xml own directory, help?
I am sorry for the formatting, it is the system which puts new paragraphs and
brackets for whatever reason.
I have a Maven child project in a directory "child". I have also a parent
project "local-lib" in the directory "child/local-lib" which contains a
repository with jars. The repository is declared in "child/local-lib/pom.xml" as
{{<repositories>}}
{{ <repository>}}
{{ <id>repo</id>}}
{{ <url>[file:///$]}}{{{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.
