Kristian Rosenvold closed SUREFIRE-573.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 2.7
Fixed because 2.7 no longer writes to temp. The empty catch block on the
initial IOException has also been removed, so the error message for
non-writeable files should be better.
> When temp directory is missing or not writeable, error messages should state
> that plainly somewhere

> Key: SUREFIRE-573
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-573
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Environment: Cygwin on Windows XP Pro, maven 2.2.1, apache-tika-0.4,
> JDK 1.6.0_16
> Reporter: Jeff Cadow
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.7

> Attachments: build.log

>
> My TEMP and TMP environment variables were pointing to a directory I forgot
> to recreate after rebuilding my machine.
> When I invoked "mvn install" from the apache-tika-0.4 directory, I got the
> following BUILD ERROR:
> Error creating properties files for forking; nested exception is
> java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified
> The Java stack trace that maven's -e switch dumped indicated that surefire
> was trying to create a temp file, but didn't say where.
> If I had seen "$TEMP/<filename>" or "/home/jcadow/TEMP/<filename>" in an
> error message or stack trace, it would have saved me 2 days.
> Attaching build.log, the output of "mvn -e install".
> TO REPRODUCE:
> Install maven 2.2.1, download apache-tika-0.4, rename your temp directory,
> invoke 'mvn -e install' from apache-tika-0.4 base directory.
