getArtifact(Artifact artifact, List remoteRepositories) should include Exception in debug log messages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3975 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3975 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Improvement Components: Logging Affects Versions: 2.0.9 Environment: Any environment. Reporter: sumit shah Priority: Minor We recently had an issue where the local repo could not be created due to permissions issues. Unfortunately the default output of mvn -X is not helpful in debugging this issue. In org.apache.maven.wagon.AbstractWagon: protected void createParentDirectories( File destination ) throws TransferFailedException { File destinationDirectory = destination.getParentFile(); if ( destinationDirectory != null && !destinationDirectory.exists() ) { if ( !destinationDirectory.mkdirs() ) { throw new TransferFailedException( "Specified destination directory cannot be created: " + destinationDirectory ); } } } if TransferFailedException("Specified destination directory cannot be created: " + destinationDirectory ); is thrown it eventually bubbles up to org.apache.maven.artifact.manager.DefaultWagonManager and is caught in the second catch block from this snippet of public void getArtifact( Artifact artifact, List remoteRepositories ): try { getArtifact( artifact, repository ); successful = artifact.isResolved(); } catch ( ResourceDoesNotExistException e ) { // This one we will eat when looking through remote repositories // because we want to cycle through them all before squawking. getLogger().debug( "Unable to get resource '" + artifact.getId() + "' from repository " + repository.getId() + " (" + repository.getUrl() + ")" ); } catch ( TransferFailedException e ) { getLogger().debug( "Unable to get resource '" + artifact.getId() + "' from repository " + repository.getId() + " (" + repository.getUrl() + ")" ); } Can we also include the exception in the debug log message? e.g. make this call: getLogger().debug( "Unable to get resource '" + artifact.getId() + "' from repository " + repository.getId() + " (" + repository.getUrl() + ")" , e); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
