Description

When used in conjunction with the release plugin the release:perform command hangs when it should prompt for the secret key passphrase. Interestingly enough when I put the passphrase into the settings.xml file the plugin does not hang. I suspect the prompt is failing to show up.

Hi,
it's the same thing with mvn:prepare (passprase pass as property) but it seems gpg wait for a pass phrase without prompting.

tested with maven 2.2.0.

I find a workaround:

it seems that mvn:release fork the maven command and additionnal args are not passed to the new command.
just add this option on commande line:

> mvn -Dgpg.passphrase="xxxxxxx" -Darguments="-Dgpg.passphrase=xxxxxxxxx" release:perform

it works fine for me (same tips for mvn:perform)

Regards
Christophe

~~MRELEASE-424~~ has a workaround for this that doesn't require you to store your pass phrases in files.

Add this to the release plugin configuration:

<mavenExecutorId>forked-path</mavenExecutorId>

I tried it and it works. Cred to Benjamin Bentmann.
