Philipp Ottlinger reassigned RAT-270:
-------------------------------------
Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
> Output errors (and only errors) to console instead of only rat.txt
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-270
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.13
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
> Priority: Major
>
> From "the irony, it burns!" department, I bring you the Apache RAT error
> message extracted from several dozen pages of useless log junk:
> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.13:check
> (rat-check) on project maven-parent: Too many files with unapproved license:
> 1 See RAT report in:
> /home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/dehaus.plexus-plexus-utils-3.3.0/m/target/rat.txt
> -> [Help 1]
> This is why the build fails on Jenkins, but notice that the one piece of
> information needed to diagnose and fix the issue is not included in the
> output. And if there's any way to find this file on Jenkins, I couldn't
> figure out how. Nor is the problem reproducible locally.
> Rat can generate a text file if it wants, but it should output paths to files
> that fail the build to the console. That would be more useful than 99% of the
> log lines Maven vomits onto the screen.
