[jira] Commented: (MNG-4044) Misleading error messages when local repository is not writable

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4044?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=166186#action_166186 ] 

Brett Porter commented on MNG-4044:
-----------------------------------

Wagon is correctly throwing a TransferFailedException - in 2.1.0-M2-SNAPSHOT, you can use -X to reveal the error "Specified destination directory cannot be created". The problem is that Maven is tossing out the message from that exception in the resolution process.

> When the local repository is not writable, the error messages when downloading an artifact does not allow to pin down the issue quickly.
> Maven only reports that the artifact cannot be downloaded, and the root cause is displayed as : 
> Caused by: org.apache.maven.wagon.ResourceDoesNotExistException: Unable to download the artifact from any repository
> No message in the trace indicates a problem with the local repository.
> The full trace with a clean local repository is attached.
