Nils Breunese commented on MNG-6762: ------------------------------------ MNG-7774 added support for interpolating {{session.rootDirectory}} and {{session.topDirectory}} in {{.mvn/maven.config}}, which allows this: {code} --settings=${session.rootDirectory}/.mvn/settings.xml {code} > Multimodule project with .mvn/settings.xml not working properly > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6762 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6762 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.5.4 > Reporter: Morten Minke > Priority: Minor > Fix For: waiting-for-feedback, wontfix-candidate > > Time Spent: 20m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > I have a project with the following setup: > > {noformat} > - MyProject > |- .mvn > | |- maven.config > | |- settings.xml > |- MyModule1 > | |- pom.xml > |- MyModule2 > | |- pom.xml > |- pom.xml{noformat} > > The .mvn/maven.config file contains the following: > {noformat} > .. > --settings .mvn/settings.xml{noformat} > With this setup, I cannot build the modules separately because it cannot find > the .mvn/settings.xml file in the MyModule1 directory. > > I looked into the code and saw that in the mvn script, the .mvn folder is > searched for in the parent folders. If it is found, that folder is marked as > the 'maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory'. > > However, as soon as the configuration is loaded, this > multiModuleProjectDirectory is not used anymore for the interpretation of the > --settings property, therefor maven tries to find the .mvn/settings.xml file > inside the MyModule1 folder where it is not found. > This results in an Exception and termination of Maven. > > I thought of a couple of ways this could be solved: > * Allow for a variable substitution to work in the maven.config file and > thus reference something like: > {noformat} > .. > --settings ${baseDir}/.mvn/settings.xml{noformat} > * When the maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory is configured and the > --settings flag is a relative directory, than use the > maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory as the root to obtain the settings.xml file. > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
