Peter D Kirchner created HADOOP-12300:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: BUILDING.txt instructions for skipping tests
incomplete/obsolete, build can fail.
Key: HADOOP-12300
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12300
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.6.0, 2.5.0
Environment: maven 3.2.3 +
Reporter: Peter D Kirchner
Instructions currently online, and within the hadoop source tree, appear to be
incomplete/obsolete for building the source. I checked 2.5.0 and 2.6.0 .
with "mvn install -DskipTests" my build fails on multiple hadoop src/test
sub-directories with:
Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:testCompile
(default-testCompile)...
This compile failure may be related to my jdk/jre, but why is my build ("mvn
install -DskipTests") compiling these tests?
The pom.xml files are using the maven-compiler-plugin to compile some of the
tests instead of surefire. The maven-compiler-plugin is unaffected by
-DskipTests and per maven documentation requires -Dmaven.test.skip instead,
which the surefire plugin also obeys.
Building with
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip
completes in my environment.
I suggest a "major" rating because of the impact on users of the source
tarballs. IMO the build instructions in the tarball and online (e.g.
https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/EclipseEnvironment ) should work reliably.
Thanks!
