The problem appears to be when the custom location is a relative path. As soon as I change the localRepository value in my settings.xml to an absolute path - in any form* - it seems to work.
Any ideas? Is this a bug - possibly with Surefire? All the other goals work fine with a relative repository location. -- Vihung * I am on Windows, and all of the following values seem to work - C:\workspace\myproject\repository - \workspace\myproject\repository - C:/workspace/myproject/repository - /workspace/myproject/repository However, assuming I am running maven from C:\workspace\myproject, none of the following values work - .\repository - ./repository - repository -----Original Message----- From: Vihung Marathe Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 5:56 PM To: 'Maven Users List' Subject: RE: Tests fail (class not found) when running against non-standard local repository location No. Actually in the case that works, the command line is longer (because the default repository location includes the "Documents and Settings" directory on Windows). -- Vihung -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Fay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 4:47 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Tests fail (class not found) when running against non-standard local repository location Off the top of my head, the only thing I could think would be if, by redirecting the localRepo, you're running into max lengths of paths on Windows, or maxing out the -classpath argument length. It is certainly an odd problem, and I've never seen it myself, nor seen it reported on this list. In fact, I know many people are using localRepo setting to utilize a different location very successfully. So I'd expect the problem is specific to your environment somehow.
