Grégory Joseph created MSITE-738:
------------------------------------
Summary: SiteDeployMojo#determineDeploySite code/javadoc
inconsistent. Javadoc seems more correct
Key: MSITE-738
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-738
Project: Maven Site Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: site:deploy
Affects Versions: 3.4
Reporter: Grégory Joseph
The javadoc of this method seems to be the desired behavior:
{code}
/**
* Deploy directly to the current project's distribution management site.
*/
@Override
protected Site determineDeploySite()
throws MojoExecutionException
{
return getSite( getTopLevelProject( project ) );
}
{code}
However, the code indicates it goes all the way in the parent pom hierarchy ?
Why ?
* The outcome is inconsistent with the effective-pom
* I'd assume if my pom declares a {{distributionManagement/site}} section, it
should be used, rather than the site plugin trying to be smarter and use the
parent pom's info then somewhat relativize ? This leads to the same issues I
bumped into a couple years ago (when I didn't bother plugging my debugger in) :
http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Site-deployment-url-and-inheritance-td5712737.html
This can cause at least two problems:
* One can't deploy a site to a host that's different than that of the parent pom
* Permissions on the server-side might not be applied correctly (perhaps the
project's deployer doesn't have permissions to deploy into the path configured
in the parent, but does in the path of his project.. however we try to deploy
to {{...parent/../../project/...}}.
Additionally, this just get confusing, because {{mvn help:effective-pom}} gives
me the {{distributionManagement/site}} section I expect, but the site plugin
ends up doing something else.
