---------------------------------
Summary: nifi-assembly fails with "no formats specified" error
Key: NIFI-3795
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3795
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Reporter: Bryan Bende
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.2.0
After staging the 1.2.0 RC1 artifacts, I then downloaded the source zip from
the Nexus staging repo, unzipped it and ran "mvn clean install -DskipTests" to
verify that it would build. I encountered the below error:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5.2:single (make shared
resource) on project nifi-assembly: No formats specified in the execution
parameters or the assembly descriptor. -> [Help 1]
After some debugging it was determined that one difference between this build
and the previous build that staged the artifacts, is that this build was not
within a git repo where as the other one was.
After running git init, adding all files, and making a commit, then the build
passed. Still unclear as to why being in a git repo matters here, although
every NAR now tries to use the git info from the buildnumber plugin to filter
into the MANIFEST files.
