Custom settings file not found

[stefanzilske]

I have a settings.xml and a maven.config, which references the settings file with the -s option file in a central directory. I symlink the maven.config to the .mvn/ of my project.

mvnd cannot build the project anymore, it keeps telling me that the settings file cannot be found. mvn itself can build it.

I am using mvnd 1.0-m6 darwin-aarch64 native client.

Any hint is appreciated!

Hm, this might actually be an issue with Maven 3.9.1 🤔

@stefanzilske do you have any more info ?

[stefanzilske]

Sorry, all I cannot say for now is that it is still an issue and it also exists with using Maven 3.9.1 and also 3.9.2 without mvnd.

I will setup a small example project and share it with you.

@stefanzilske just guessing here - does your maven.config file adhere to the new format required by maven 3.9.x?
One arg per line? So for example this:
--threads 4
becomes:

--threads
4

@yanivnahoum yes that's the issue. I even came across the change with Maven 3.9 but I didn't grasp that it was per argument and not per flag. Thanks a lot for pointing that out!
