I have a maven-war-plugin configured in my pom.xml. Like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${maven-war-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
      <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
      <webResources>
        <resource>
          <!-- this is relative to the pom.xml directory -->
          <directory>${project.basedir}/dist</directory>
          <targetPath>${project.basedir}/app/ui</targetPath>
        </resource>
      </webResources>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

But when I run it, I get the error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:3.4.0:war (default-war) on project gid-webpack: Could not copy resource [C:\Users\sam2004\git\GID\develop\develop\gid-webpack/dist]: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect -> [Help 1]
org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:3.4.0:war (default-war) on project gid-webpack: Could not copy resource [C:\Users\sam2004\git\GID\develop\develop\gid-webpack/dist]

    at org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute (MojoExecutor.java:212)

First I thought it was the / that was the problem for the <directory> value. So I switched it to a \. But still seeing the same error.

The folder does exist. So its a bit confusing, why is maven not able to pick it up. Any pointers would be helpful.

  • Have you tried the -X flag for debug output? Commented Oct 27 at 11:27
  • @JFMeier Yes i did. I went through it, but it didn't give me anything of note. Mostly generic debug outputs. Commented Oct 27 at 13:07
  • @JFMeier I switched to just <directory>/dist</directory> and it worked. Did I just catch a bug in the plugin? Commented Oct 27 at 13:29
  • Your actual path C:\Users\sam2004\git\GID\develop\develop\gid-webpack/dist looks strange because it contains develop twice. Commented Oct 27 at 14:21
  • Yeah. It is like that, I mistakenly created the folder with the same name twice. Just felt lazy not to change it. But don’t think the path is the problem. Commented Oct 27 at 14:23
