--------------------------------
Summary: Current working directory is used as local repository
(instead of ~/.m2/repository) when settings.xml contains empty
<localRepository/> element
Key: MNG-7631
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7631
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Settings
Affects Versions: 4.0.0-alpha-3, 4.0.0-alpha-2
Environment: Linux x86_64 (Fedora 36)
Reporter: Petr Široký
I have tried to build a sample project locally using Maven 4.0.0-alpha-3 and I
am seeing one difference / inconsistency with the behavior of empty
{{<localRepository/>}} tag in {{settings.xml}} file, when comparing to Maven
3.8.6.
My {{settings.xml}} file looks like this:
{code:xml}
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd";>
<localRepository/>
</settings>
{code}
When I run a build with Maven 3.8.6, everything works as I would expect and by
default the {{~/.m2/repository}} is chosen.
However, if I build with Maven {{{}4.0.0-alpha-3{}}}, it chooses the _current
working directory_ as the root directory for the local repository. So I end-up
with directories like {{{}aopalliance{}}}, {{{}avalon-framework{}}}, etc., next
to the {{{}pom.xml{}}}.
If I remove the empty element {{<localRepository/>}} from the
{{{}settings.xml{}}}, then {{~/.m2/repository}} is chosen and it works the same
as in Maven 3.x.
I was doing some quick testing and git bisecting and assuming I did not mess
anything up, the commit causing this behavior is
[https://github.com/apache/maven/commit/2a9f39336cec1d8e52d30cc48503d51ed8672536]
- [MNG-7553] New clean API with immutable model
([#703|https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/703])
(and it's huge, so I haven't yet looked in detail at the changes).
I am not 100% sure this is a bug, but it is at least a difference in behavior
comparing to Maven 3.x.
