property 'plexus.system.path' is being set to empty and results in maven, m2
and ant executables to be unresolved
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONTINUUM-303
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-303
Project: Continuum
Type: Bug
Environment: Windows XP, Continuum SVN snapshot, Maven 2 SVN snapshot
Reporter: Rahul Thakur
ok, I have been noticing build failures on Integration tests for sometime now.
On playing around with the PATH variables and looking at plexus
DefaultExecutableResolver source, i noticed the following:
a) plexus.system.path was being set to '' (empty string) on my system even
though the PATH is set to include all reqd. executables. The PATH variable had
values with space (ex: c:\Program Files\...)
b) On running integ. tests with -Dplexus.system.path=%PATH% set on command
line, the spaces in the path variable were not being handled correctly, seems
like the 'path list' used to resolve executables is being set up incorrectly. I
am not sure if this is better reported as an issue on Plexus JIRA or here.
c) on running integ. tests with -Dplexus.system.path="%PATH%", the path list is
being build up properly and executables are getting resolved. Not sure where
this property is being set up in first place. In case, this being setup and
passed via build script, would it be a good idea to have double quotes around
PATH?
