[jira] Updated: (MNG-464) confusing error reported when using a non writable local directory

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-464?page=all ]

Brett Porter updated MNG-464:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
I was trying to share a repository between 2 users, and tried to do so before setting the repository permissions correctly.
user1 created the repository
user2 tried to do a build without having write access to repository

the build failed with a confusing error. Something like:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/local/tools/share/m2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo/0.6-SNAPSHOT/cargo-0.6-SNAPSHOT.version.txt (No such file or directory)

(I don't have the exact log unfortunately, but it shouldn't be too hard to reproduce)

I think a previous failure (e.g. couldn't write in a directory) was silently discarded. That error if treated appropriately could help better diagnose the issue.

    Fix Version:     (was: 2.0-beta-4)
                 2.0.1
    Environment: 

this would be quite proliferate, and generally developers know what FNFE (permission denied) means, besides this is not a recommended practice.

Will still review for completeness in 2.0.1
