"You don't have a SNAPSHOT project in the reactor projects list." when using Jenkins Maven release plugin

Dave picture Dave · Nov 18, 2013 · Viewed 96.4k times · Source

I'm using SVN, Maven 3.0.3 on the latest version of Jenkins and the Maven Release plugin. I'm trying to use the Maven release plugin (through Jenkins) do a dry run and so am executing the options …

Executing Maven:  -B -f /scratch/jenkins/workspace/myproject/myproject/pom.xml -DdevelopmentVersion=53.0.0-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=52.0.0 -Dusername=***** -Dpassword=********* -DskipTests -P prod -Dresume=false -DdryRun=true release:prepare

But the dry run is dying with the error below …

[JENKINS] Archiving /scratch/jenkins/workspace/myproject/myproject/pom.xml to /home/evotext/hudson_home/jobs/myproject/modules/org.mainco.subco$myproject/builds/2013-11-18_16-09-14/archive/org.mainco.subco/myproject/52.0.0/myproject-52.0.0.pom

My SVN checkout method is set to "Always checkout a fresh copy" and I have a snapshot version in question in my snapshot repository, but not in my release repository. Is there a way I can get the "reactor projects list" to look at my snapshot repo?

Edit: I'm including the snippet of my pom where the project gets its version -- it inherits it from a parent

    <parent>
            <artifactId>subco</artifactId>
            <groupId>org.mainco.subco</groupId>
            <version>52.0.0</version>
    </parent>

You're trying to release an artifact that's not a snapshot. That means your artifact's version number is something like 3.0.3. That version number implies its already been released. You can't release a release. There would be no changes in between and therefore no point.

You're only supposed to release SNAPSHOT versions. That means your version number would be like 3.0.3-SNAPSHOT.
