Philipp Paland created MRELEASE-725: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Releasing a specific module-based project fails (Regression from 2.1) Key: MRELEASE-725 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-725 Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2 Environment: Mac OS X 10.7.2 Apache Maven 3.0.3 Subversion 1.6.16 (r1073529) Reporter: Philipp Paland Attachments: transscript.txt, trunk.zip We can not release our project with a version of the release plugin greater than 2.1. I have distilled the problem to a small example project (attached as zip). The project has a core module (with code) and an aggregating build project, like this: -> build -> release -> pom.xml -> core -> hello-world -> pom.xml -> src/main/java/HelloWorld.java where "hello-world" is a module of "release". It looks like release:perform tries to build in the wrong directory: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.2.2:perform (default-cli) on project release: Error executing Maven. Working directory "/Development/maven-release-bug/trunk/build/release/target/checkout/build/release/build/release" does not exist! -> [Help 1] I have also attached a transscript with some easy steps to reproduce the problem. First, a local svn repo is created. Then, the working release with 2.1 is demonstrated. Then the plugin version in the pom is changed and the error is shown. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
