[jira] [Updated] (RAT-512) PDF files fail the check
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-512?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Philipp Ottlinger updated RAT-512:
----------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.0.0
> PDF files fail the check
> ------------------------
>
> Key: RAT-512
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-512
> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.17
> Reporter: Niels Basjes
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> Simply upgrading from 0.16.1 to 0.17 now fails the build if PDF files are present (desired and committed in my case) in the directory tree.
> *Reproduction:*
> * Empty directory with an empty pom.xml (i.e. only the basics and no mention of apache rat at all)
> {code:java}
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
> <groupId>nl.basjes.bugreports</groupId>
> <artifactId>dummy</artifactId>
> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
> </project> {code}
> * Add a pdf file to the directory
> {code}
> $ file Something.pdf
> Something.pdf: PDF document, version 1.5 (zip deflate encoded)
> {code}
> *mvn org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.16.1:check*
> This output is expected because pom.xml does not have a license and the PDF is a binary file that cannot have a license.
> {code}
> [INFO] Rat check: Summary over all files. Unapproved: 1, unknown: 1, generated: 0, approved: 2 licenses.
> [WARNING] Files with unapproved licenses:
> pom.xml
> {code}
> *mvn org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.17:check*
> {code}
> [INFO] RAT summary:

> [INFO] Unapproved: 2
> [INFO] Unknown: 2
> [ERROR] Unexpected count for UNAPPROVED, limit is [0,0]. Count: 2
> [INFO] UNAPPROVED (Unapproved) is a count of unapproved licenses.
> [WARNING] *****************************************************
> Generated at: 2025-10-26T09:38:21+01:00
> Files with unapproved licenses:
> /Something.pdf
> /pom.xml
> {code}
> I have not been able to spot a change in the change log that explains this change in behavior so I think this is an unintended bug.
