[jira] Commented: (MDEP-203) Severe Errors are only logged as debug

["Dan Tran (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=204633#action_204633 ] 

Dan Tran commented on MDEP-203:
-------------------------------

this is purely maven core issue, maven-dependency-plugin delegates the download from remote to local via maven.

However, maven-2.2.1 gives better message, you dont have to specify -X to see more details.

Here is the error

[WARNING] Unable to get resource 'junit:junit:jar:3.8.1' from repository central
 (http://glvnsjc.homedns.org/nexus/content/groups/public): Specified destination
 directory cannot be created: C:\Users\dantran\dev\maven\src\plugins\maven-depen
dency-plugin\target\it\copy-and-unpack-with-alternate-local-repo\target\re:po\ju
nit\junit\3.8.1

Note, I intentionally set a bad localrepo name re:po ) which is invalid under windows file name

> Today I had surprisingly spurios problems occuring visually caused by missing dependencies.
> Interestingly I could download the artifact using all the urls (including our internal nexus) provided and had no idea what the /&()/%& was going wrong.
> After a long time (and activating the debug flag) I found the problem: The dependency WAS downloaded but could not be stored in the local repository because of some single bad permissions in folders (there was a root calling a maven-build which leads to some folders owned by root)
> [DEBUG] Unable to get resource 'jaxen:jaxen:jar:1.1.1' from repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2): Specified destination directory cannot be created: /data/apps/infrastructure/maven/repository/jaxen/jaxen/1.1.1
> Why the hell is such an error just logged as debug????? I think it should be logged in error-scope - this had saved me a lot of time!
> Please check your logging according such problems.
> Additionally it would be helpful if any log message would be prepended by the name and version of the plugin which creates it - actually I cannot even say which version of the dependency plugin was used :-(
> This is the output without debug-flag - there is no hint that there were any local problems:
