[JIRA] Resolved: (FOR-406) plugins writing to forrest build dir

[is...@cocoondev.org]

Message:

   The following issue has been resolved as FIXED.

Plugin temporary files are now written to the projects temp directory (rather than a new directory as we original proposed). This will work if the plugin is installed, however, if it has never been installed then the build will still fail due to not having write acess.

We could make the plugins install into the project directory, but this will duplicate versions of the plugin on the users hard drive. Instead I have improved the failure message, it now asks the user to have the system admin install the plugin for them and gives instructions on how to do this.

I've marked this issue fixed, but not closed it - please test in your environment and close if it works.

Description:
If the user executing forrest without write permissions to $FORREST_HOME an error like the following occurs:

/home/dpb2/forrest/main/targets/plugins.xml:185: Failed to copy /home/dpb2/forrest/main/var/initial_plugins_sitemap.xmap to /home/dpb2/forrest/build/plugins/input.xmap due to /home/dpb2/forrest/build/plugins/input.xmap (Permission denied) and I couldn't delete the corrupt /home/dpb2/forrest/build/plugins/input.xmap

Shouldn't input.xmap go in ${project.home}?

This is different than FOR-356.
