Michael Osipov commented on MNG-7631:
-------------------------------------
I'd like to hear [~gnodet]'s opinion. For me, this feels like an unintentional
cleanup for consistency.
> Current working directory is used as local repository (instead of
> ~/.m2/repository) when settings.xml contains empty <localRepository/> element

> Key: MNG-7631
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7631
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Settings
> Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-2, 4.0.0-alpha-3
> Environment: Linux x86_64 (Fedora 36)
> Reporter: Petr Široký
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have tried to build a sample project locally using Maven 4.0.0-alpha-3 and
> I am seeing one difference / inconsistency with the behavior of empty
> {{<localRepository/>}} tag in {{settings.xml}} file, when comparing to Maven
> 3.8.6.
> My {{settings.xml}} file looks like this:
> {code:xml}
> <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0";
> xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
> xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
> http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd";>
> <localRepository/>
> </settings>
> {code}
> When I run a build with Maven 3.8.6, everything works as I would expect and
> by default the {{~/.m2/repository}} is chosen.
> However, if I build with Maven {{{}4.0.0-alpha-3{}}}, it chooses the _current
> working directory_ as the root directory for the local repository. So I
> end-up with directories like {{{}aopalliance{}}}, {{{}avalon-framework{}}},
> etc., next to the {{{}pom.xml{}}}.
> If I remove the empty element {{<localRepository/>}} from the
> {{{}settings.xml{}}}, then {{~/.m2/repository}} is chosen and it works the
> same as in Maven 3.x.
> I was doing some quick testing and git bisecting and assuming I did not mess
> anything up, the commit causing this behavior is
> [https://github.com/apache/maven/commit/2a9f39336cec1d8e52d30cc48503d51ed8672536]
> - MNG-7553 New clean API with immutable model
> ([#703|https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/703])
> (and it's huge, so I haven't yet looked in detail at the changes).
> I am not 100% sure this is a bug, but it is at least a difference in behavior
> comparing to Maven 3.x.
>
> Edit: I also tried with {{{}-f <path-to-pom.xml>{}}}, so the local repository
> root really is {{{}<current-working-dir>{}}}, not {{<project-dir>}} (even if
> they are the same usually).
