Sylwester Lachiewicz closed MNG-6060. ------------------------------------- Resolution: Not A Problem > better and precise error reporting when project is not found e.g. with -rf > option > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6060 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6060 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Command Line, Errors, POM, Reactor and workspace > Affects Versions: 3.3.9 > Environment: Linux 4.6.2 with Oracle JDK 8 > Reporter: Gregor B. Rosenauer > Priority: Trivial > Labels: maven > > when building a multi-module project with -rf and the project is not found, > Maven explodes all over your face and prints the *entire* POM instead of just > pointing out the missing project - it does, but hides it before the POM dump > so the info is easily lost: > {{[ERROR] [ERROR] Could not find project to resume reactor build from: > :missing-in-action vs [MavenProject: (entire POM dumped here)}} > Good old make would just tell you this precise and helpful message, instead > of dumping the entire makefile: > {{make: *** No rule to make target 'some-nonexisting-target'. Stop.}} > Please make maven a bit more user friendly when reporting errors... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
