Joseph Witt created NIFI-659:
--------------------------------
Summary: rat-plugin needs to be configured to exclude child and
parent items
Key: NIFI-659
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-659
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Task
Components: Tools and Build
Reporter: Joseph Witt
Assignee: Joseph Witt
Presently when doing the proper -Pcontrib-check on patches and such we can run
into issues with modules that implement their own excludes above and beyond
what the nifi-parent excludes. This is due to how the configuration
override/merge/append mechanism works in Maven 3. What we really want it to do
is 'append' to the child's list whatever was in the parents list. So for
example:
{code:xml}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.rat</groupId>
<artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>src/test/resources/conf/0bytes.xml</exclude>
<exclude>src/test/resources/conf/termination-only.xml</exclude>
<exclude>src/test/resources/hello.txt</exclude>
<exclude>src/test/resources/old-swap-file.swap</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
would work as we really want it to if it were
{code:xml}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.rat</groupId>
<artifactId>apache-rat-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<excludes combine.children="append">
<exclude>src/test/resources/conf/0bytes.xml</exclude>
<exclude>src/test/resources/conf/termination-only.xml</exclude>
<exclude>src/test/resources/hello.txt</exclude>
<exclude>src/test/resources/old-swap-file.swap</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
