Ed Hillmann updated MRELEASE-576:
---------------------------------
Attachment: mySecondBranch-v2.zip
Second attempt, trying to get each POM to explicitly provide their
SCM/developerConnection attribute.
> Subversion Tag is incorrect when releasing from a Branch
> --------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MRELEASE-576

> I've been able to recreate this error using a dummy application. This is
> what I've done.
> 1) Created a HelloWorld project, which has a single sub module HelloWorldJar.
> HelloWorlJar uses HelloWorld as it's parent. I first created this on a
> trunk in a svn repository and committed everything.
> 2) I used "release:branch" to create a branch.
> 3) Checked out the branch, and on the working copy of the branch I ran "mvn
> release:prepare". It worked fine (the tag was constructed correctly). "mvn
> release:perform" also worked swimmingly. I've attached these maven projects
> in the myBranch.zip file.
> 4) Back on the trunk, I created another branch, named mySecondBranch
> 5) After checking out mySecondBranch, I introduced a new module named parent.
> HelloWorldJar was updated to use parent as it's parent (yes, I'm not very
> creative in the naming department). Parent was also listed as a module in
> HelloWorld (in addition to HelloWorldJar). Everything's committed. The SCM
> value is correct (it's the right branch directory). I've attached the maven
> projects in the mySecondBranch.zip file.
> 6) When I run "mvn release:prepare", it all builds, but the tag is
> constructed incorrectly. Instead of /tags/helloWorld-2.0 pointing to a
> revision of /branches/mySecondBranch, /tags/helloWorld-2.0 points to
> /branches.
> 7) {OK, this is wierd}. When I run "mvn release:perform", it checks out
> against the tag helloWorld-2.0. Which checks out the entire branches
> directory. Once it's done that (I'm using a test repository), it builds the
> correct branch (it's building using the correct branch). I don't know how
> it's working, but it is.
> So, I guess it's working OK. I'm not sure how it knows to pick out the
> correct branch (as it's checking out the full contents of the branch
> directory). So it's building it eventually.
> However, for large projects with multiple branches, this will be very slow to
> check out the entire contents of the branches directory, not to mention use
> much more disk space than is needed. If the tag is constructed correctly, it
> avoids the whole thing.
