Jürgen created MRELEASE-866: ------------------------------- Summary: "successful" release:perform with dryRun=true should not invoke release:clean Key: MRELEASE-866 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-866 Project: Maven Release Plugin Issue Type: Wish Components: clean, perform Affects Versions: 2.4.2 Environment: maven-2.2.1 Reporter: Jürgen Priority: Minor
I recently upgraded maven-release-plugin version to 2.4.2 from 2.0 I observed a change in the behaviour of release:perform together with dryRun (on a side-note, in 2.0 dryRun user property did not seem to have an effect on release:perform) basically: 1. dryRun=true release:prepare 2. dryRun=false release:prepare: generate tag+release info 3. dryRun=true (due to it being considered in 2.4.2) release:perform: no deployment into repository, BUT release:clean removes release info 4. dryRun=false release:perform: fails, lacks release info I know I should not do step #3, but I recommend not to execute release:clean after a "successful" release:perform with dryRun=true -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
