Site Deployment with scpexe fails because of chmod exit code
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-396
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-396
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: site:deploy
Affects Versions: 2.0
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Klaus Reimer
Attachments: error.txt
When deploying a site via scpexe protocol then Maven executes this command
after uploading the files:
chmod -Rf g+w,a+rX /somepath
The target directory on the server does not belong to the user uploading the
files. The user has write permissions, but he is not the owner. And this means
that chmod fails. It displays no error message because of the -f parameter but
it returns an exit code 1 which is processed by Maven. The result is the
attached error message.
When I change the owner of the target directory then it works but we can't do
this because we have multiple SSH users uploading the files. The permissions
are already correct on the server (They are handled by ACLs) so there is no
need to call chmod at all. So I suggest to let the user configure if chmod is
executed at all or to ignore the return value of chmod (If you already use -f
to hide error messages then you are most likely not interested in errors so
also ignoring the error code smells fine)
