maven build fails returns execution is : '127'


I am trying to rename an artifact using exec-maven-plugin. (I don't want to use antrun plugin as I am using that for a different purpose in the same phase and goal.)

Plugin in pom.xml :

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>some-execution</id>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>exec</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
      <executable>mv "${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-myapp.jar" "${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.app"</executable>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

It fails to rename the artifact and gives below error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.1.1:exec (some-execution) on project cep: Result of /bin/sh -c cd /home/XYZ/workspace/myapp/solutions/cep && "mv "/home/XYZ/workspace/myapp/solutions/cep/target/cep-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-myapp.jar" "/home/XYZ/workspace/myapp/solutions/cep/target/cep-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.app"" **execution is: '127'**. -> [Help 1]

From these log, I am sure something is missing but I am unable to find out what. My OS is ubuntu /bin/sh is available. ls also lists the artifact at the specified location.


Solution

  • Solved it! I was doing it wrong. The <executable> tag is supposed to have the command only. The arguments will be defined under <arguments>.

    Please see the updated plugin definition:

     <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.1.1</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
                <id>some-execution</id>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>exec</goal>
                    </goals>
                <configuration>
                        <executable>mv</executable>
                                <arguments>
                                        <argument>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-myapp.jar</argument>
                                        <argument>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.app</argument>
                                </arguments>
                </configuration>
         </execution>
       </executions>
      </plugin>
