[jira] Closed: (SUREFIRE-573) When temp directory is missing or not writeable, error messages should state that plainly somewhere

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-573?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Kristian Rosenvold closed SUREFIRE-573.
---------------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.7

Fixed because 2.7 no longer writes to temp. The empty catch block on the initial IOException has also been removed, so the error message for non-writeable files should be better.

> My TEMP and TMP environment variables were pointing to a directory I forgot to recreate after rebuilding my machine. 
> When I invoked "mvn install" from the apache-tika-0.4 directory, I got the following BUILD ERROR:
>     Error creating properties files for forking; nested exception is java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified
> The Java stack trace that maven's -e switch dumped indicated that surefire was trying to create a temp file, but didn't say where.
> If I had seen "$TEMP/<filename>" or "/home/jcadow/TEMP/<filename>" in an error message or stack trace, it would have saved me 2 days.
> Attaching build.log, the output of "mvn -e install".
> TO REPRODUCE: 
> Install maven 2.2.1, download apache-tika-0.4, rename your temp directory, invoke 'mvn -e install' from apache-tika-0.4 base directory.
