Research direction

Clone maven-javadoc-plugin and run the two Maven 3.9.4 reproductions for TestJavadocReportTest: clean test and test. Compare the settings injection behavior across the two lifecycle paths; done means both commands consistently succeed or consistently fail without the reported NPE.

Description

bug priority:major waiting-for-feedback

Henning Schmiedehausen opened MPLUGINTESTING-86 and commented

How to reproduce:

Using maven 3.9.4:

git clone [email protected]:apache/maven-javadoc-plugin.git
cd maven-javadoc-plugin
mvn clean test -Dtest=TestJavadocReportTest ---> Success
mvn test -Dtest=TestJavadocReportTest ---> fails with NPE

This should either consistently fail or succeed. Right now, the injection of the "settings" field depends on what other lifecycle goals have been executed.

Affects: 3.3.0
