[jira] Created: (MECLIPSE-269) "Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse

"Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MECLIPSE-269
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-269
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.3
         Environment: maven-eclipse-plugin version 2.3
maven-war-plugin version 2.0.2 
            Reporter: Paul Spencer
            Priority: Minor


I get a "Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse when
the <warSourceDirectory> of the maven-war-plugin starts with ${basedir}. If I remove the
${basedir}, the build is successful.

If, as it appears, the war plugin uses different rules related to the prefixing a path with ${basedir}, then I consider it a bug because the configuration of <warSourceDirectory> is inconsistant with similar tags.

Per Wayne Fay, I have log this issue against the Eclipse plugin.

---------------------------------------

Okay, i got around this one by using .. notation, but I don't see why the plugin can't be smart...it ought to work with all maven properties, imho.

---------------------------------------

I have the same problem using maven 2.1.0.

[INFO] Cant canonicalize system path: {0}
Embedded error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

The module that is failing does not use ${basedir} but some parent/sibling modules do...but they need it to know their relative location.  That's a valid maven tag so I don't know why this can just be ignored.

[jira] Commented: (MECLIPSE-269) "Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse

Posted by "Matthew McCullough (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>.
    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-269?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=205308#action_205308 ] 

Matthew McCullough commented on MECLIPSE-269:
---------------------------------------------

I don't think this is a core issue, because I encountered a very similar message:
Cant canonicalize system path: {0}

After much searching through code, I found the solution in an unlikely place.  The resource tag documentation.

Quoted from my comments on MECLIPSE:-608: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-608
>>
Typically, the cause of this is because a POM author put a replaceable like ${basedir} in the target or directory tags.  This is not allowed.  Target and Directory tags are relative to the POM, and are not supposed to have drive letters and paths to roots of the filesystem.

http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.2.1/maven-model/maven.html#class_resource

If you remove the ${basedir} type references from the paths, the plugin works just fine.

> I get a "Can't canonicalize system path" error using the goal eclispse:eclipse when
> the <warSourceDirectory> of the maven-war-plugin starts with ${basedir}. If I remove the
> ${basedir}, the build is successful.
> If, as it appears, the war plugin uses different rules related to the prefixing a path with ${basedir}, then I consider it a bug because the configuration of <warSourceDirectory> is inconsistant with similar tags.
> Per Wayne Fay, I have log this issue against the Eclipse plugin.
