Narayana fails to build on a codebase not checked out of SCM ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBTM-1823 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-1823 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Build System Affects Versions: 4.17.4, 4.17.5 Reporter: Paul Robinson Assignee: Amos Feng Fix For: 5.0.0.M4, 4.17.6 To reproduce: * go Here: https://github.com/jbosstm/narayana/releases/4.17.4.Final * Download and extract the zip * run: './build.sh clean install -DskipTests' * Observe: {code} [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:buildnumber-maven-plugin:1.0:create (default) on project arjunacore: Cannot get the revision information from the scm repository : [ERROR] Exception while executing SCM command. UnsupportedOperationException [ERROR] -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch. [ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging. [ERROR] [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoExecutionException [ERROR] [ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command [ERROR] mvn <goals> -rf :arjunacore {code} Alternatively, it works if you do this: {code} git clone git@github.com:jbosstm/narayana.git git checkout 4.17.4.Final ./build.sh clean install -DskipTests {code} It seems to be because the maven plugin is expecting the code to be checked out of SCM. We need to make the build tolerant of this scenario. NOTE: it also happens for the 4.17.5.Final zip.
