I decided to do a little bit of investigation into my whitespace regression issue, and checked out the velocity project to build it from source.
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/engine/trunk velocity-engine-parent Some observations: 1) The readme.txt file in the distribution still talks about building with ant. 2) The build instructions on the web site [1] still talk about changing your working directory to "build", which doesn't exist. 3) "mvn install" from the root directory generates this error. I'm a maven novice, so I can't do much more than report errors with maven. This was with maven 3.0.3 under java 1.6 [ERROR] The project org.apache.velocity:velocity-engine-parent:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT (/home/[...]/velocity-engine-parent/pom.xml) has 1 error [ERROR] Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find artifact org.apache.velocity:velocity-master:pom:2-SNAPSHOT and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @ line 25, column 13 -> [Help 2] [1] http://velocity.apache.org/engine/devel/build.html So I decided to go back and try the 1.6.x branch instead. svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/velocity/engine/branches/1.6.x/ This time "mvn install" from the build directory works, but we fail on the tests. It looks like maybe I need to do something to specify a @test.dir@ value? Again, no hablo maven. Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.003 sec <<< FAILURE! Running org.apache.velocity.test.TemplateTestCase Cannot setup TemplateTestSuite! java.io.FileNotFoundException: @test.dir@/templates/templates.properties (No such file or directory) I know enough to skip all tests, and that works, but I don't know enough to skip just a single test. I tried a few things that didn't work based on results from google searches: mvn -Dtest.excludes="**/TemplateTestCase.java" install mvn -Dvelocity.test.excludes="**/TemplateTestCase.java" install mvn -Dorg.apache.velocity.test.excludes="**/TemplateTestCase.java" install --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
