This is a follow-up to MJAVADOC-236.
Running 'mvn test' or 'mvn javadoc:javadoc' generates error messages of type
"The system cannot find the path specified." although tests are run
successfully and javadoc files are generated.
(see the attached [abbreviated] output)
The reason is my account name that contains non-ASCII chars, e. g. 'Hömer', so
the Windows environment variable %USERPROFILE% is: '%HOMEDRIVE%\Users\Hömer'.
If I change it to '%HOMEDRIVE%\Users\HMER~1' (the default '8dot3' name on
Windows) all runs fine!
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create an account with non-ASCII chars, e. g. 'Hömer'
2) Run 'mvn test' and 'mvn javadoc:javadoc' on an arbitrary project
3) Look for "The system cannot find the path specified." messages.
4) set %USERPROFILE%=%HOMEDRIVE%\Users\HMER~1
6) No error messages appear.
Additional information:
- For surefire, forking must be enabled (default forkMode is 'once'), if you
disable it, everything runs fine.
- I played around with changing the Windows 'codepage' used for shells
(cmd.exe) from English (1252/437) to European (1250/850), without success.
- Maybe, a commonly shared component is responsible, but, as the error messages
are not verbose enough (even in debug mode), I cannot figure out what, so I
place the report here.
Workaround:
Set the env. var %USERPROFILE% using the '8dot3' name variant of %USERNAME%.
(I have a generic solution for setting %USERPROFILE% this way to any shell, but
I don't want to go into details here; if it is of interest, I can describe it
further.)
