Benjamin Bentmann closed MPH-84. -------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann > Inherited profile activation not working within local POM > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MPH-84 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPH-84 > Project: Maven 2.x Help Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.1.1 > Environment: Tested with M3.0.2 and M2.2.1 on MacOS X (OS surely not > relevant) > Reporter: wolfgang häfelinger > Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann > Attachments: MNG-3228.zip > > > This demo consists of four file: > (1) README.txt > (2) pom.xml > (3) parent-pom.xml > (4) pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml > File" pom.xml" is the POM expected to activate profile "logging" defined in > "parent-pom.xml". This does not work as clearly outlined in the original bug > report MNG-3228 [http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3228]. > File "pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml" is essentially the same as file "pom.xml". > Section <dependencies /> and profile activation has been removed in order to > get goal "help:effective-profiles" working. > The demo works like this: Install parent POM in local cache > (~/.m2/repository). > % mvn -f parent-pom.xml install > Then try this: > Test 1: > % mvn -f pom.xml package > => error > Test 2: > % mvn -f pom.xml package -Dactivate-profile-logging=true > => good > Test 3: > % mvn -f pom.xml package -Plogging=true > => good > Test 4: > % mvn -f pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml help:active-profiles > => profile "logging" is not shown (expeced, but see next test) > Test 5: > % mvn -f pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml help:active-profiles > -Dactivate-profile-logging=true > => does not show profile "logging" although "logging" must be active > (otherwise: why would second test work?) > Summary: > 1. maven-help-plugin can't be trusted on reporting active profiles. > 2. Activating inherited profiles differs from activating local profiles. > The second issue is clearly (!) a design bug cause there is no good reason > why inherited elements behave differently from local elements. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
