[jira] Commented: (MNG-4249) Environment variable with non-ASCII characters

["Gajo Csaba (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4249?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=196521#action_196521 ] 

Gajo Csaba commented on MNG-4249:
---------------------------------

Works ok for Hömer on Windows XP with the same maven and java versions. Maybe it's a Vista bug? The Surefire plugin has this code when forkMode is once:

jvm = System.getProperty( "java.home" ) + File.separator + "bin" + File.separator + "java";

Perhaps the java.home property returns some string that is incompatible with windows. If you set log level to debug, it should write out what exactly is the value of the jvm string, like "Using JVM: blahblah"

> Running 'mvn test' or 'mvn javadoc:javadoc' generates error messages of type "The system cannot find the path specified." although tests are run successfully and javadoc files are generated.
> (see the attached [abbreviated] output)
> The reason is my account name that contains non-ASCII chars, e. g. 'Hömer', so the Windows environment variable %USERPROFILE% is: '%HOMEDRIVE%\Users\Hömer'.
> If I change it to '%HOMEDRIVE%\Users\HMER~1' (the default '8dot3' name on Windows) all runs fine!
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1) Create an account with non-ASCII chars, e. g. 'Hömer'
> 2) Run 'mvn test' and 'mvn javadoc:javadoc' on an arbitrary project
> 3) Look for "The system cannot find the path specified." messages.
> 4) set %USERPROFILE%=%HOMEDRIVE%\Users\HMER~1
> 6) No error messages appear.
> Additional information:
> - For surefire, forking must be enabled (default forkMode is 'once'), if you disable it, everything runs fine. 
> - I played around with changing the Windows 'codepage' used for shells (cmd.exe) from English (1252/437) to European (1250/850), without success.
> - Maybe, a commonly shared component is responsible, but, as the error messages are not verbose enough (even in debug mode), I cannot figure out what, so I place the report here.
> Workaround:
> Set the env. var %USERPROFILE% using the '8dot3' name variant of %USERNAME%.
> (I have a generic solution for setting %USERPROFILE% this way to any shell, but I don't want to go into details here; if it is of interest, I can describe it further.)
