Hi all,
in the "pre-integration-test" phase I am trying to start a background
process using exec:exec. While I am aware of the fact that the plugin
does not (yet) support the spawing of background processes directly
[1,2], I was surprised to see that the following workaround doesn't work:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>start-server</id>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<executable>src/test/scripts/run.sh</executable>
<arguments>
<argument>{server.home}/bin/server</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The run.sh script mentioned above is straighforward:
#! /bin/sh
$* &
exit 0
Alas, exec:exec still blocks. Can someone please explain to be why this
happens? The debug output looks OK to me:
[DEBUG] Executing command line: src/test/scripts/run.sh ./bin/server
Best wishes,
Andreas
