Dominik Bartholdi created MRELEASE-736:
------------------------------------------
Summary: add dryRun flag to release:prepare
Key: MRELEASE-736
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-736
Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: perform
Affects Versions: 2.2.2
Environment: mvn 3.0.3
Reporter: Dominik Bartholdi
Please consider to add the "dryRun" flag from the "release:prepare" to the
"release:perform" goal too.
I have the following use case:
Jenkins/Hudson has a plugin called m2release which basically is there to help
the user to trigger a maven release. This plugin allows to define a commandline
which should be executed in case of a release build. The common configuration
of this arguments are:
"-Dresume=false release:prepare release:perform"
the next version of the plugin would like to add a "dryRun" option when
triggering a build and in this case it would just add "-DdryRun=true" to the
configured arguments and thats it.
Unfortunately this will not work, as the "release:perform" still gets executed
and will fail.
Of course I could also change the Jenkins/Hudson plugin, but this would mean I
have to remove "release:perform" from the passed argument, which is relay ugly.
