Andre F de Miranda commented on NIFI-3795: ------------------------------------------ [~jameswing] [~bbende] thanks for the explanation. I had missed the comment with the reasoning behind the commit and was struggling to understand how the magic worked. Great job folks!!! > nifi-assembly fails with "no formats specified" error > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-3795 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3795 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Bryan Bende > Assignee: James Wing > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.2.0 > > > After staging the 1.2.0 RC1 artifacts, I then downloaded the source zip from > the Nexus staging repo, unzipped it and ran "mvn clean install -DskipTests" > to verify that it would build. I encountered the below error: > [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5.2:single (make shared > resource) on project nifi-assembly: No formats specified in the execution > parameters or the assembly descriptor. -> [Help 1] > After some debugging it was determined that one difference between this build > and the previous build that staged the artifacts, is that this build was not > within a git repo where as the other one was. > After running git init, adding all files, and making a commit, then the build > passed. Still unclear as to why being in a git repo matters here, although > every NAR now tries to use the git info from the buildnumber plugin to filter > into the MANIFEST files. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
