Tilman Hausherr commented on RAT-118: ------------------------------------- Can this issue be closed? The list of files is told. > Improve error reporting > ----------------------- > > Key: RAT-118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-118 > Project: Apache Rat > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: maven > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Matthias Friedrich > Priority: Minor > > We use apache-rat-plugin in Maven to fail our builds in test phase if > unapproved licenses are found. This confused contributors quite a bit because > they had no indication of what exactly went wrong. It would be really helpful > if Rat would point users explicitly to rat.txt if the build fails. Maybe even > print the filename of the first offending file with a clear error message. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
