Creating TAR fails on machine with UTF-8 platform encoding
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-515
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-515
Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2
Environment: Fedora 13 (2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64)
Maven 2.2.1
Java 1.6.0_20
Reporter: Audun Røe
Attachments: assemblytest.tar.gz
I suddenly started getting the following error from maven-assembly-plugin (2.2)
when building the assembly for an existing project. A colleague on Windows did
not experience the issue:
[INFO] Failed to create assembly: Error creating assembly archive XYZ: Problem
creating TAR: request to write '145' bytes exceeds size in header of '144'
bytes.
Google suggested tarLongFileMode as a starting-point for troubleshooting, and
changing this to "omit" made the build start working again. Loads of files were
being excluded, however, including files predating the build-failure. Gradually
eliminating newer files eventually revealed the culprit; a file with a long
filename/path containing more than one non US-ASCII character.
So to summarize, the requirement seems to be:
1. files with name+path long enough to require tarLongFileMode=gnu (probably -
I haven't tested the threshold extensively but shorter files seems to work fine
no matter how many specials chars they contain)
2. Platform encoding is UTF-8, hence why it wasn't seen on my colleague's
machine as it was using Windows' equivalent of iso-8859-1
3. The filename must contain _more_ than one character resulting in an UTF-8
multibyte sequence, for instance the characters æ, ø or å.
The simple workaround for now is to simply rename any offending files.
I've attached an example project that reproduces the issue on my machine. It
has a simple pom, an assembly-descriptor, and some empty textfiles under
resources; one of which triggers this bug.
Running it with "mvn clean install -e" produces the following output:
