Fails on cygwin with multiline module with nullpointer exception. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-680 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-680 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: prepare Affects Versions: 2.0 Environment: cygwin on Windows 7 (and probably earlier Windows versions too). Reporter: Dan Haywood Was failing with a nullpointer exception. I downloaded the source and added some println statements to ReleaseUtil.java (in mvn-release-manager), so it's easy enough to see: First I added: public static String getCommonBasedir( List reactorProjects, char separator ) { System.out.println("ReleaseUtil#getCommonBaseDir()"); ... and in the main loop of this same method I added: // added:start System.out.println(" - dir : " + dir ); // added:end if ( basedir == null ) { basedir = dir; } else ... Also, I added: public static int getBaseWorkingDirectoryParentCount( String basedir, String workingDirectory ) { System.out.println("getBaseWorkingDirectoryParentCount()"); System.out.println(" ** basedir : " + basedir ); System.out.println(" ** workingDirectory : " + workingDirectory ); ... When I ran: mvn release:clean release:prepare -P apache-release -D dryRun=true then I got: [INFO] Transforming 'Apache Isis'...

I think this is because 'basedir' itself is wrong (in my case, it ought to be the initial value of workingDirectory, and exit the loop immediately). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
