[jira] Commented: (CONTINUUM-1941) Creating Local Repository accepts invalid location

["Wendy Smoak (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-1941?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=151706#action_151706 ] 

Wendy Smoak commented on CONTINUUM-1941:
----------------------------------------

What was the error?

That location is not _necessarily_ invalid, if the user running Continuum has permission to create it.  (Of course, it shouldn't be running as a user with that much permission. :) )

If it doesn't already exist, we could attempt to create the directory when the configuration for a new local repository is added, rather than waiting until build time.

Maven itself does not require that the local repo exist prior to executing a build, it just creates it at build time if it's missing.  If the directory can't be created, you get something like:

[WARNING] repository metadata for: 'org.apache.maven.plugins' could not be retrieved from repository: central due to an error: Specified destination directory cannot be created: /Users/sldkfjs/sfsldkjfsdy/org/apache/maven/plugins
