[jira] [Commented] (MNG-5970) Directory path set in mojo by Maven is lowercased, causing it to not match actual directory

["Karl Heinz Marbaise (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5970?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15128651#comment-15128651 ] 

Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MNG-5970:
------------------------------------------

First this is old style XDoclet definition which you should change to the [annotation based style|https://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-tools-annotations/index.html].  Furthermore i would suggest to use {{File}} for the type instead of {{String}} cause a folder is a {{File}}. This will look like this:
{code:java}
@Parameter( defaultValue = "${project.basedir}", readonly = true )
private File basedir;
{code}
I'm not 100% sure if this solve your problem..

Apart from the above you should stop using Maven 3.0.3 cause it has [many bugs|https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12316922&version=12330178]...Which Jenkins version do you use? Are you using Maven based project types?

>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Plugin API

> We have a custom mojo. It has this field:
> 	/**
> 	 * Location of the directory containing the pom.
> 	 * @parameter default-value="project.basedir"
> 	 * @required
> 	 */
>     private String baseDir;
> Our unit test for the mojo works fine locally, but fails in Jenkins CI.
> The reason it fails is that the value of baseDir set by the Maven framework is all lowercase, but the directory path on the Jenkins server has some uppercase.
> We are not touching the value of baseDir, just taking it and immediately trying File[] files = new File(baseDir).listFiles(), which blows up because baseDir lowercase doesn't exist.
> Why is Maven not passing the directory path in as-is, instead of all lowercase?
