[jira] Commented: (MASSEMBLY-189) plugin not correctly interpolating POM variables like project.build.directory

["Phil Steitz (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_94439 ] 

Phil Steitz commented on MASSEMBLY-189:
---------------------------------------

I had a similar problem trying to get ${project.build.finalName} interpolated so I could set the baseDirectory of my source distro to ${project.build.finalName}-src.  This can be worked around by using ${artifactId}-${version}-src instead; but the first interpolation should work.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.1
>         Environment: I used both released version 2.1 and also 2.2-SNAPSHOT

> I have a assembly descriptor file with ${project.build.directory} in the <source> element of a <file>. I get an error "Failed to create assembly: File to filter not found" because the file path has "${project.build.directory}" rather than the value of ${project.build.directory}.
> I have traced the problem to AssemblyInterpolator.interpolateElementValue(). It tries to look up build.directory in ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate() rather than project.build.directory, and it can't evaluate build.directory. A hack workaround is ...
>       if (value == null)
>       {
>         try
>         {
>           value = ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate(realExpr, project);
>           if (value == null)
>           {
>             // HACK: strip ${ and } and retry
>             wholeExpr = wholeExpr.substring(2, wholeExpr.length() - 1);
>             value = ReflectionValueExtractor.evaluate(wholeExpr, project);
>           }
>         }
