Repository.yaml does not use given project in multi-module Forge plugins ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: FORGE-1030 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1030 Project: Forge Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation, Plugin API, Plugin Repository Affects Versions: 1.3.3.Final Reporter: Lennart Jörelid Assignee: George Gastaldi Priority: Blocker Fix For: 1.x Future Attachments: forge_1030_codeAnalysis.png It seems that Forge really needs better support for the default Maven development process. In repository.yaml, Forge plugins are defined by giving a Maven project GAV for the project holding the forge plugin definitions, as well as the GitHub repository holding the plugin source. Yet, Forge seems to ignore the Maven GAV information given in repository.yaml when checking out and building the plugin locally. This is a rather nasty bug, which in its current state effectively prevents anyone from using a multi-module build for their plugins (and it is also undocumented). An example is shown below: {code} [no project] Nazgul $ forge install-plugin nazgul ***INFO*** Preparing to install plugin: nazgul ***INFO*** Checking out plugin source files to [/var/folders/6g/9n7r543d2bv9n2qjvnvf_hsh0000gn/T/forgetemp6186363544408555570] via 'git' ***INFO*** Switching to branch/tag [refs/heads/1.3.3.Final] ? The project does not appear to be a Forge Plugin Project, install anyway? [y/N] {code} While this analysis by Forge is incorrect (the Maven GAV given in the repository.yaml is indeed a project which holds plugins), it gets worse after installation: {code} [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Reactor Summary: [INFO] [INFO] nazgul-forge-parent ...............................

Please resolve build errors and try again. (type "set VERBOSE true" to enable stack traces) {code} So ... # The repository.yaml includes a full Maven GAV to the project which holds Forge plugins. # Forge uses repository.yaml to download the source from GitHub and build it # Forge ignores the Maven GAV given in repository.yaml, and simply uses the root reactor project to inspect and attempt to install the plugins. To fix this bug, Forge needs to find the project given within the repository.yaml within the downloaded reactor and install the plugins from *that* project.
