perform goal sometimes fails with multi-module projects
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRELEASE-271
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-271
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6, 2.0-beta-4
Environment: XP
Reporter: David Hoffer
Attachments: MavenReleaseFailure.zip, SuccessfulReleaseBuild.txt
We have a multi-module maven project that has recently started failing in the
release:perform goal.
We have just added a couple more modules but do not know if that is the cause
of the failure. It seems that the release:perform fails to compile the source
after the SCM tag and checkout. The failure says that it cannot find a
dependent jar but it is that jar that it is supposed to be building and
releasing! I updated to use the latest 2.0-beta-6 release plugin version but
this did not help.
Upon receiving feedback in the maven users group that others have seen this
behavior I followed their advise and added <configuration>
<preparationGoals>clean install</preparationGoals></configuration> to my parent
pom which did fix the problem.
Why is the release goal failing now? When do I and when do I not need these
changes to my pom? I will attach pom and build logs in hopes this can be fixed
soon, let me know if you need additional information.
