Dave Moten created MDEP-428:
-------------------------------
Summary: Unpack goal does not fail build when destination could
not be created and unpacks to current working directory instead
Key: MDEP-428
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-428
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: unpack
Affects Versions: 2.8
Reporter: Dave Moten
Attachments: mdep-bug-patch, mdep-bug.zip
The unpack goal attempts to create the outputDirectory using File.mkdirs() if
it does not exist. If this attempt fails for example due to not having write
permission to the parent directory of outputDirectory then unfortunately the
build reports that it succeeded and moreover unpacks the artifact to the
current working directory.
Attached is a example project in mdep-bug.zip that does not fail to build on
mvn clean install on linux/unix despite the outputDirectory being on the root
of the file system that would not normally be writeable by a non-root user.
Additionally the artifacts are unpacked into the mdep-bug directory!
Attached also is a patch to fix the behaviour and to unit test it.
