[jira] (MNG-5411) Missing file activation only works with hard
coded vales
Bill Riemers created MNG-5411:
---------------------------------
Summary: Missing file activation only works with hard coded vales
Key: MNG-5411
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5411
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: POM
Affects Versions: 3.0.4
Environment: Fedora 17 x86_64, Java 1.7.0_09-icedtea
Reporter: Bill Riemers
Priority: Minor
<activation><file><missing>...</missing></file></activation>
Only works when the file name is hard coded between the missing tags to activate a profile. If instead the file name is listed as a property (or properties) the profile is always active.
e.g.
...
<properties>
<exampleFile>example.txt</exampleFile>
<exampleDirectory>${project.build.directory}/example.txt</sourceDirectory>
</properties>
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<activation>
<file><missing>${exampleDirectory}/${exampleFile}</missing></file>
</activation>
...
</profile>
...
</profiles>
...
The profile here will be active regardless if the wsdlFile exists. However, if instead one hard codes the value like so:
<file><missing>target/example.txt</missing></file>
then the profile is only active when example.txt does not exist.
I'm guessing this is a chicken and egg problem. The properties section is probably not evaluated until after deciding what profiles should be active. In which case, the code itself is working as designed, it is just either that design needs to be documented or updated to work the way one would expect.

Bill Riemers commented on MNG-5411:
-----------------------------------
Looks like from MNG-3524 this is actually a known issue. How about changing the category of this report to documentation, rather than closing it. As it is clear the restrictions in this activation method are obvious from the documentation. Once one knows the restrictions it is only a minor issue.
