Inherited profile activation not working within local POM
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5050
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5050
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.3, 3.0.2, 3.0.1, 3.0, 2.2.1
Environment: Tested with M3.0.2 and M2.2.1 on MacOS X (OS surely not
relevant)
Reporter: wolfgang häfelinger
Attachments: MNG-3228.zip
This demo consists of four file:
(1) README.txt
(2) pom.xml
(3) parent-pom.xml
(4) pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml
File" pom.xml" is the POM expected to activate profile "logging" defined in
"parent-pom.xml". This does not work as clearly outlined in the original bug
report MNG-3228 [http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3228].
File "pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml" is essentially the same as file "pom.xml".
Section <dependencies /> and profile activation has been removed in order to
get goal "help:effective-profiles" working.
The demo works like this: Install parent POM in local cache (~/.m2/repository).
% mvn -f parent-pom.xml install
Then try this:
Test 1:
% mvn -f pom.xml package
=> error
Test 2:
% mvn -f pom.xml package -Dactivate-profile-logging=true
=> good
Test 3:
% mvn -f pom.xml package -Plogging=true
=> good
Test 4:
% mvn -f pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml help:active-profiles
=> profile "logging" is not shown (expeced, but see next test)
Test 5:
% mvn -f pom-no-profile-no-dep.xml help:active-profiles
-Dactivate-profile-logging=true
=> does not show profile "logging" although "logging" must be active
(otherwise: why would second test work?)
Summary:
1. maven-help-plugin can't be trusted on reporting active profiles.
2. Activating inherited profiles differs from activating local profiles.
The second issue is clearly (!) a design bug cause there is no good reason why
inherited elements behave differently from local elements.
