Child modules never built

[ava1ar]

Hi!

Thanks for implementing such nice thing - I was thinking about making something like this to manage out complex structure maven project and speed up the build. However somehow it never builds any child modules except the parent project.

Here is the debug output:

java -jar C:\Apps\mvnmin\mvnmin-1.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar -p
[
    M xxx-module1/src/main/java/com/org/Class1.java
    M xxx-parent1/xxx-module2/src/main/java/com/org/Class2.java
]
found 1 projects
mvnmin.xml does not exist, skipping.
modules to build: [com.mlp:xxx]
Reactor@2007328737 [
    reactorNumber:0
	skipReactor:false
	modulesInReactor:[.*]
	pathFromProjectRoot:pom.xml
	singleThread:false
	activeModules:[com.org:xxx]
	extraParams:
]
com.org:xxx

Basically, xxx-module1 is a jar module under the parent, xxx-parent1 is a pom module, with xxx-module2 jar module under it. If I understand correctly, mvnmin supposed to select xxx-module1 and xxx-module2, but it picked only parent pom project com.org:xxx and nothing else. Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi @ava1ar,

I would expect xxx-module1 to be under xxx-parent and a peer to xxx-module2. is there a reason module1 is at the top-level and module2 under the parent?

Could you include the output of the command with --all included to see all the pom.xml files mvnmin can find (scanning the file system):

java -jar C:\Apps\mvnmin\mvnmin-1.0.1-jar-with-dependencies.jar -p --all

Thanks,

-Ivan

is there a reason module1 is at the top-level and module2 under the parent?

Maven allows such mixed hierarchies and it works well for my use case: module1 is independent (i.e. "core"), while module2 is part of the larger group (i.e. it is named as "codec-a", there are also "codec-b", "codec-c", etc - all under "codecs" pom project).

Output of all modules (slightly altered):

com.aaa.bbb:bbb-trace
com.aaa.bbb:bbb-tse
com.aaa.bbb:bbb-ubsouch
com.aaa.bbb:bbb-ui
com.aaa.bbb:bbb-websocket
com.aaa:bbb

So, the artifact structure is flat (except the ui part, which I would also want to make flat), while modules layout is tree-like.

Thanks for trying this out, I hope we can get you going.

The structure Is fine. And yes, mvnmin should be activating the two modules you are expecting. And it shouldn't be activating parent1 as nothing has changed in that module.

Currently, the algorithm starts at each of the changed files and walks up the directory tree looking for a pom.xml file, and stops at the first it finds.

Thanks! Let me know if I can help troubleshooting this further. I really like the project, so would definitely try to contribute to it in future!
