Question

I am using maven to compile apache-hive-2.1.1-src for debug reason ,I use -X paremeter to print out the debug information. but finally , the compilation failed:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.3:single (assemble) on project hive-packaging: Failed to create assembly: Error adding file to archive: /data/base/3rd/apache-hive-2.1.1-src/packaging/${project.parent.basedir}/common/src/main/resources/hive-log4j2.properties isn't a file. -> [Help 1]

I have checked the pom file bin.xml whose name is definition where this error happened,it is :

<files>
    <file>
      <source>${project.parent.basedir}/common/src/main/resources/hive-log4j2.properties</source>
      <outputDirectory>conf</outputDirectory>

  </files>

it seems that the parameter ${project.parent.basedir} is not resolved to my hive home directory /data/base/3rd/apache-hive-2.1.1-src,instead it is resolved to /data/base/3rd/apache-hive-2.1.1-src/packaging/${project.parent.basedir},very strange.Actually , the file /data/base/3rd/apache-hive-2.1.1-src/common/src/main/resources/hive-log4j2.properties exits. Anyone could give me some suggestions? My maven version is 3.3.9.Does it have anything to do with maven assembly?

The directory structure is :

hive-2.1.1/
    orc/
    ql/
    other modules/
    packaging/
       src/
          main/
              assembly/
                   bin.xml/ #the pom which throws the error.
                   src.xml/
    pom.xml

you can also check the directory from github :https://github.com/apache/hive/tree/master/packaging/src/main/assembly

There is no variable `${project.parent.basedir}` in maven. where have you set it? — Jens, Jun 12 '17 at 12:24
Are you sure? but this is just the source code of hive.I just cannot find a place which define this variable. I find this page :https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1012402/maven2-property-that-indicates-the-parent-directory — wuchang, Jun 12 '17 at 12:30
Show your folder/directories hierarchical structure. because your path variable `${project.parent.basedir}` is wrong. — Vy Do, Jun 12 '17 at 13:51
Hello,I have just updated my post with the folder structure. — wuchang, Jun 13 '17 at 01:49
