Benjamin Bentmann closed MNG-4907.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 3.0.1
Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
The referenced parent POM lacks the version and as such can't match the
requirement of the child POM. Improved error message in
[r1037475|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1037475].
> Wrong error message when relativePath wrong
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-4907
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4907
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
> Affects Versions: 3.0
> Environment: maven 3.0, windows XP
> Reporter: Marshall Schor
> Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0.1

> Attachments: mvn-parent-relative-path.zip

>
> I'll attach a zipped sample showing the issue; it has 3 folders, each having
> a small pom. They are named childFolder, parentFolder, and submodule.
> The child has the parent as its parent.
> The child has a <modules> section listing the parent and the submodule as
> things to be built.
> The submodule list "parent" as its parent, but fails (on purpose, to
> illustrate the issue) to include a <relativePath> element.
> If I do mvn clean on the "submodule", it says, correctly:
> [ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
> [ERROR]
> [ERROR] The project t:submodule:1-SNAPSHOT
> (D:\mavenAlign\trunk\mvn-parent-relative-path\submodule\pom.xml) has 1 error
> [ERROR] Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find artifact
> t:parent:pom:1-SNAPSHOT and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @
> line 8, column 11 -> [Help 2]
> Note: line 8, column 11 is right after the "<parent>" element in the
> source.
> But, if I run mvn clean on the "child", it says, incorrectly:
> [ERROR] The build could not read 1 project -> [Help 1]
> [ERROR]
> [ERROR] The project t:child:1-SNAPSHOT
> (D:\mavenAlign\trunk\mvn-parent-relative-path\childFolder\pom.xml) has 1 error
> [ERROR] Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find artifact
> t:parent:pom:1-SNAPSHOT and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM @
> line 5, column 11 -> [Help 2]
> In fact, the ...\childFolder\pom.xml doesn't have an error, and the message
> that it points at the wrong local POM at line 5, column 11 is not correct.
> If you comment out the <module> reference in this pom to the "submodule", it
> works fine. The error is actually in the submodule. The line 5, column 11
> refers to a spot right after the "<parent>" element in the child module,
> where everything is OK.
> This of course, misleads the person trying to debug this, to look hard in the
> wrong place :-).
