assembly: ITs failing: container-descriptors\custom-containerDescriptorHandler

[Barrie Treloar <ba...@gmail.com>]

This IT is failing in my environment:
  container-descriptors\custom-containerDescriptorHandler

I can't find any documentation to help work out what the following in
the assembly configuration means:
  <containerDescriptorHandlers>
    <containerDescriptorHandler>
      <handlerName>file.txt</handlerName>
    </containerDescriptorHandler>
  </containerDescriptorHandlers>

Anyone else got this problem?

The build succeeds buts the verify.bsh fails.

File: D:\ide\maven\maven-assembly-plugin\target\it\projects\container-descriptors\custom-containerDescriptorHandler\assembly\target\assembly-1-bin\b\file.txt
should not exist, but does.

Looking at the verify.bsh I think it expects to see a/file.txt merged
with b/file.txt into file.txt.
However all three files exist in the target directory and /file.txt is empty.

This is probably not a well-documented feature yet, as it's fairly new 
and we've been working out the kinks. Container-descriptor handlers 
aggregate content from things like components.xml, etc. in an 
intelligent way, rather than allowing one jar's descriptor to overwrite 
another's. The descriptor handlers are Plexus components, whose 
role-hint is entered in the section you mention below. The assembly 
plugin then looks up the specific handlers for use when it encounters 
references to them in the assembly descriptor.

What is the specific error you're seeing?
