Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-270:
---------------------------------------
[~elharo] I just digged into the Mojo code -
you can set
consoleOutput to true
in order to let the Maven plugin print out the stuff you want to see.
Is that helpful for you?
Would you vote to set its default value to true in order to always see files
with unapproved licenses?
> Output errors (and only errors) to console instead of only rat.txt

> Key: RAT-270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-270
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.13
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> From "the irony, it burns!" department, I bring you the Apache RAT error
> message extracted from several dozen pages of useless log junk:
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.13:check
> (rat-check) on project maven-parent: Too many files with unapproved license:
> 1 See RAT report in:
> /home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/dehaus.plexus-plexus-utils-3.3.0/m/target/rat.txt
> -> [Help 1]
> This is why the build fails on Jenkins, but notice that the one piece of
> information needed to diagnose and fix the issue is not included in the
> output. And if there's any way to find this file on Jenkins, I couldn't
> figure out how. Nor is the problem reproducible locally.
> Rat can generate a text file if it wants, but it should output paths to files
> that fail the build to the console. That would be more useful than 99% of the
> log lines Maven vomits onto the screen.
