jgitver packaging in submodules

[nbn]

Issue

version:1.3.0

usage context: Apache Maven 3.5.4 (1edded0938998edf8bf061f1ceb3cfdeccf443fe; 2018-06-17T20:33:14+02:00)

Problem description:

• When using jgitver on a multimodule project it fails to package the correct version in submodules.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create archetype demo1 project as from the documentation
2. Verify the correct version in target/demo1....jar:/META-INF/....pom.xml
3. Move demo1 to a sub directory and create a new parent module
4. Retry the verification in demo1/target/demo1...jar:/META-INF/...pom.xml

Example below:

mvn archetype:generate -B \
  -DarchetypeCatalog=internal \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
  -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart \
  -DarchetypeVersion=1.1 \
  -DgroupId=fr.brouillard.jgitver.demos \
  -DartifactId=demo1 \
  -Dpackage=fr.brouillard.jgitver.demos \
  -Dversion=0


cd demo1


git init
git add .
git commit -m "inital commit"  

// Create extensions.xml file

mvn package

your sub project should define a parent relation ; please see https://github.com/jgitver/jgitver-samples/tree/master/multi-module.

In standard maven you are also able to define:

• parent:1.0
  • child1:2.0 (with or without any relationship with parent)
  • child2:X.Y (with or without any relationship with parent)

IMO this is not the goal of multi-modules and denotes a bad usage of maven.

[nbn]

Fair enough, however, the reason for reporting this is that in my specific case, the actual submodule is based on a spring boot parent, which makes it impossible to provide another parent relationship. Secondly, jgitver actually change the version of the submodule without any non-parent warning, and gladly use the correct version through the remaining operations. Everything else seems to work but the enclosed/attached pom. I thought it might be an interesting usecase, given that it is partially successful.

[McFoggy]

never thought of such use cases. I'll look at it.

@nbm after I have worked on #102, a workaround exists for your case

in your sub project add an execution of flatten-maven-plugin like the following:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>flatten-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.1</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>jgitver-flatten-pom</id>
      <phase>validate</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>flatten</goal>
      </goals>
      <configuration>
        <flattenMode>defaults</flattenMode>
        <updatePomFile>true</updatePomFile>
        <pomElements>
          <dependencyManagement>keep</dependencyManagement>
          <build>resolve</build>
          <ciManagement>resolve</ciManagement>
          <contributors>resolve</contributors>
          <dependencies>resolve</dependencies>
          <description>resolve</description>

          <inceptionYear>resolve</inceptionYear>
          <issueManagement>resolve</issueManagement>
          <mailingLists>resolve</mailingLists>
          <modules>resolve</modules>
          <name>resolve</name>
          <organization>resolve</organization>
          <parent>resolve</parent>
          <pluginManagement>resolve</pluginManagement>
          <pluginRepositories>resolve</pluginRepositories>
          <prerequisites>resolve</prerequisites>
          <profiles>resolve</profiles>
          <properties>resolve</properties>
          <reporting>resolve</reporting>
          <repositories>resolve</repositories>
          <scm>resolve</scm>
          <url>resolve</url>
          <version>resolve</version>
        </pomElements>
      </configuration>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>

In a next future I plan to bring the additions from e851ee7c3e081ab186349cee41fe5c027b86a6c9 (provided for #102) as defaults in the jgitver-maven-plugin. Today, using latest version (1.4.4 at the time of writing) even if you activate the new flatten-maven-plugin via -Djgitver.flatten=true ; still your use case will not be covered.

[nbn]

Thanks for taking the time to look at this case. I will try it out.

It still does not work with 1.5.1

My use case: I have Bill of Materials maven submodule with version 0.0.0-SNAPSHOT. It's metioned in aggregated pom (top-level one) as module, but does not reference parent. Project dependencies defined as ${project.version}. However, they're uploaded to Nexus as is, without flattering versions, so they still point to 0.0.0-SNAPSHOT.

Jgitver in its blogs tells that it discovers BOM project and changes version for it, but from some reason, poms are uploaded with 0.0.0-SNAPSHOT. Rest of modules are okay.

It looks like jgitver traverses by parent-definitions, not by module definitions while changing versions.

Basically for BOM project I cannot see execution of (as per for rest modules):

[INFO] --- flatten-maven-plugin:1.2.2:flatten (jgitver-flatten-pom) @

It looks like jgitver traverses by parent-definitions, not by module definitions while changing versions.

indeed, this is still a change that needs to be fixed.
