Karel Vervaeke commented on MNG-1775:
-------------------------------------
The patch I submitted was for maven-2.2.x - Sorry, should have been clearer on
that. I'll go ahead and jump on the maven developers list.
for completeness: the patch works as you described, expanding ${basedir} to the
directory of the pom that contains the ${basedir} property.
> No property expansion in profile activation

> Key: MNG-1775
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1775
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
> Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.0.1
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Eric Andresen
> Fix For: 3.0-alpha-7
>
> Attachments: basedir_in_activation.patch, test.zip, test2.zip
>
>
> I have a profile specified in the pom.xml of a project. It is inteded to be
> activated based on the presence or absence of a file, using the <file>
> profile activator.
> The profiles are simple:
> <profile>
> <id>metis</id>
> <activation>
> <file><missing>${basedir}/../build.properties</missing></file>
> </activation>
> <build>
>
> <filters><filter>${basedir}/../build.properties.metis</filter></filters>
> </build>
> </profile>
> <profile>
> <id>dev</id>
> <activation>
> <file><exists>${basedir}/../build.properties</exists></file>
> </activation>
> <build>
>
> <filters><filter>${basedir}/../build.properties</filter></filters>
> </build>
> </profile>
> The problem comes in with ${basedir} -- it isn't being expanded for purposes
> of evaluating the file. It's trying to look for a file named
> "${basedir}/../build.properties", rather than
> "/home/joe/projectX/projY/../build.properties"; as a result, the "missing"
> directive is always true, and the dev profile is never activated. When the
> filter path is evaluated, the ${basedir} property *is* evaluated, however.
