Matthew Ouyang commented on MCLEAN-78:
--------------------------------------
[~cowwoc] The ability to configure unlimited retries might be a better solution
fit for your situation. What do you think? I also wonder what the project team
thinks of this proposal.
> Ability to retry longer if clean fails
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCLEAN-78
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCLEAN-78
> Project: Maven Clean Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Environment: Windows 10, 64-bit, build 10.0.14393
> Reporter: Gili
>
> Following up on MCLEAN-45, I am running into a problem where a build fails to
> clean 100% of the time. The existing retry mechanism sleeps roughly 1 second,
> which makes it impossible to investigate what is actually holding the lock. I
> already went through the obvious culprits by disabling Windows Indexing and
> anti-virus, to no avail. I can reproduce the problem on two separate machines
> as well. I am afraid that Maven itself might be holding the lock.
> I order to aid troubleshooting of this scenario, can you please add or
> enhance the existing configuration options so that the clean plugin can retry
> longer (e.g. up to 30 seconds)?
> Worse-case scenario, the lock will eventually get released and my build will
> work. Best-case scenario, the lock won't get released but I will finally have
> enough time to run SysInternals ProcessMonitor to figure out who is holding
> the lock. When I try doing this after the JVM shuts down, I don't find anyone
> holding the lock so I strongly suspect the JVM itself is at fault.
> Proposal: let users specify a max retry time and generate the intermediate
> sleep intervals on their behalf. I would happily use retry intervals of up to
> a minute if it meant that my automated builds would be more stable.
