Wrong scm url validation for mercurial provider

Andreas Ebbert-Karroum added a comment - 19/May/10 11:22 AM The webpage for the hg scm provider shows example URLs http://maven.apache.org/scm/mercurial.html scm:hg: http://host/v3 scm:hg: file://C:/dev/project/v3 (windows drive) scm:hg: file:///home/smorgrav/dev/project/v3 (linux drive) scm:hg:/home/smorgrav/dev/project/v3 (local directory) So on Windows its two slashes, on linux its three. It'd be nice if the plugin worked on linux AND windows.

Dennis Lundberg added a comment - 17/Nov/10 11:09 AM It is the documentation that is wrong. The correct URL for a local Windows path should be: scm:hg: file:///C:/dev/project/v3 Note the 3 slashes after "file:" instead of 2.

Laurent Perez added a comment - 19/Nov/10 3:06 AM Dennis, you are probably right, but http://maven.apache.org/scm/bazaar.html and http://maven.apache.org/scm/subversion.html are referencing double slashes and their code is using double slashes too, I don't know why, perhaps it was assumed that the file:// protocol does not need a third slash on windows because there is no "root directory", drive letters start without a mount point. Anyway, feel free to mark this one as wontfix or invalid if needed, I guess that in practice, most people on windows wanting to use a local repo would probably use hg serve and hg clone their http://localhost:8000 repository instead of using a local file: repository.

Lóránt Pintér added a comment - 02/Aug/11 7:41 AM Using http://localhost:8000 is not a solution when you want to use the release pluign's localCheckout feature. It produces this error on Windows: C:\Workspaces\Eclipse\Test-TOPclipse-3.7\tis-parent>mvn release:perform -DlocalCheckout= true [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Benoit Guerin added a comment - 07/Jun/12 9:07 AM any update on this ? It is (for me) a blocker bug : we are using DVCS, so we except not to clone from Internet when releasing. And from now, with this bug, the only way to release from Windows PC is to let localCheckout to false in the maven-release-plugin configuration ...
