[jira] Closed: (MNG-3228) Maven profile activation does not work when profile is defined in inherited 'parent' pom

John Casey closed MNG-3228.

    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

I've tried this with Maven 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT (used to be 2.1.0-M2-SNAPSHOT) on OS X and Windows, using a modified version of the test in the linked issue. I added a profile to the parent to duplicate the user.name trigger, and modified the relativePath of the parent entry in the child POM so it can't traverse that link to reach the parent POM. Then, I installed the parent POM into the local repository, and ran help:active-profiles (from help plugin 2.0.2) on the child. It showed the user.name triggered profile as active.

BTW, I also tried this without a modified relativePath, and it worked. I also ran from the parent POM, and it showed as active in both the parent and the child.

If you can supply a failing test case and detailed instructions to reproduce this error, we can reopen it.

> The goal is to activate a maven profile based on OS user name.
> When I create a standalone project with a profile activation, it works,
> however, when I define the profile in a "parent" pom, it is never activated.

> ...
>   <profile>
>     <id>TONY</id>
> <activation>
> <property>
> <name>user.name</name>
> <value>WINTONY</value>
> </property>
> </activation>
>     <properties>
>     </properties>
>    
> So in this case, my profile is activated based on my OS user name
