Robert Scholte commented on MRELEASE-507: ----------------------------------------- I think we can close this issue as 'cannot reproduce'. Here are the phases which will be executed: the {{run-preparation-goals}} is executed before {{scm-tag}} {code:xml} <preparePhases> <phase>check-poms</phase> <phase>scm-check-modifications</phase> <phase>check-dependency-snapshots</phase> <phase>create-backup-poms</phase> <phase>map-release-versions</phase> <phase>input-variables</phase> <phase>map-development-versions</phase> <phase>rewrite-poms-for-release</phase> <phase>generate-release-poms</phase> <phase>run-preparation-goals</phase> <phase>scm-commit-release</phase> <phase>scm-tag</phase> <phase>rewrite-poms-for-development</phase> <phase>remove-release-poms</phase> <phase>run-completion-goals</phase> <phase>scm-commit-development</phase> <phase>end-release</phase> </preparePhases> {code} @Paul: you've already created an issue for adding scm:validate, but that requires that every scm-provider has implemented it. This has quite an impact, but it would indeed be an improvement. And the tests aren't execute because of the {{site}} (actually site-deploy) goal, but because of the deploy-goal during {{release:perform}} > Execute tests before tagging > ---------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-507 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-507 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: prepare > Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-9 > Reporter: Paul Benedict > > Preparing a release waits to execute tests until after the tag. If the > tagging succeeds but the tests fail, the commit created a tag with failing > tests, and the build fails altogether. I recommend the test phase should run > before the tag... yes, in addition (or as a replacement) after the tagging > phase. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
