[jira] (MSITE-601) Period added to URL prevents proper cloning with
Mercurial
[ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-601?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=308778#comment-308778 ]
Rob Elliot commented on MSITE-601:
----------------------------------
Followed this link from issue MSITE-654. The discussion about valid URIs is a red herring; yes https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@code.google.com/p/MYPROJECT.site/./ is a valid URI, but that doesn't mean it points to the same resource as https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@code.google.com/p/MYPROJECT.site . Specifically, the second (correct) one is effectively a URI to a file, whereas the one ending in /./ is a URI to a directory. If as far as Google are concerned the Mercurial repo is a file (and Github have the same opinion about their git repositories) then the second URI quite rightly returns a 404.
It's the same as trying to run the following set of commands:
{code:none}
echo "some text" > afile.txt
cat afile.txt
cat afile.txt/
cat afile.txt/./
{code}
The first cat will work, the latter two will not because they are paths to a directory and afile.txt is not a directory. You can't just randomly append a slash to a URI and expect it to have the same meaning as the URI without the slash. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't and both possibilities are valid.

> Key: MSITE-601
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-601
> Project: Maven 2.x and 3.x Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: site:deploy
> Affects Versions: 3.0-beta-3
> Environment: Javac 7 on Fedora Linux 15, Mercurial 1.9
> Reporter: Leon Blakey
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: backlog
>
>
> I deploy my Maven site over Mercurial on Google Code. I use this configuration
> {code:xml}<distributionManagement>
> <!--Site deploy repository-->
> <site>
> <id>MYPROJECT.googlecode.com</id>
> <url>scm:hg:https://code.google.com/p/MYPROJECT.site/</url>
> </site>
> </distributionManagement>{code}
> And a standard <server> in settings.xml
> {code:xml}<servers>
> <server>
> <id>MYPROJECT.googlecode.com</id>
> <username>USERNAME</username>
> <password>PASSWORD</password>
> </server>
> </servers>{code}
> However when running site:deploy it decides that it should add a dot to the URL, meaning it tries to execute this command
> EXECUTING: /bin/sh -c cd /tmp && hg clone -r tip https://USERNAME:PASSWORD@code.google.com/p/MYPROJECT.site//. /tmp/wagon-scm1348091978.checkout
> Which on Google and other repositories gives a 404 since the file . (look at the end of the URL) doesn't exist. Why is that period there? Is it coming from Maven Site or the Mercurial plugin (I'm assuming here)? Can it get removed>
