Answer 1

It looks like it is problem with incompatibility between new maven install plugin and mulesoft code. In my case it helped to use older install plugin - define in pluginManagement desired version of install maven plugin to use:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.5.2</version>
    </plugin>

Answer 2

We've just run into the same issue with our pipelines this morning, but to stop that NoFileAssignedException when the deploy phase happens, we had to explicitly exclude it within the POM for the Mule app;

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
      <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
  </plugin >
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.2</version>
  </plugin>

Skipping the deploy of the app isn't a problem for us because the built artifact actually gets deployed by Git runner at the moment (in that particular environment).

Answer 3

Apache Maven deployed a new version of the Maven Install Plugin to their repositories. It doesn't seem that it should have gone to the Public Repo, but still.

The solution is to fix the Maven plugin version in the Mule POM file.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.2</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.2</version>
</plugin>

Answer 4

Official support message:

https://support.mulesoft.com/s/article/Mule-Maven-Plugin-fails-during-deploy-with-error-Failed-to-execute-goal-org-apache-maven-plugins-maven-deploy-plugin-3-0-0-M1-deploy

Cause:

A new version of the Maven Install Plugin has been published on the Maven public repositories (3.0.0-M1). By default, Mule doesn't define a version for this plugin and picks the last one.

The page lists the following as a temporary solution, and suggests refreshing the above link for updates.

Update pom.xml to specify the Maven version to be used by the Mule Maven plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>

New - the above is the original solution, which is now the alternative solution. The recommended solution is:

Update mule.tools.version in pom.xml:

<mule.tools.version>1.7</mule.tools.version>

And make sure this property is used by mule-app-maven-plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>mule-app-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${mule.tools.version}</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    ...
</plugin>

If you then get an error about unresolvable build extension, run the following from the project directory:

mvn dependency:purge-local-repository -DmanualInclude="org.mule.tools.maven:mule-app-maven-plugin:1.7"

Same issue here, which happens because of new version of maven-install-plugin (3.0.0-M1). Solution for my case is to skip installation of project with custom packaging (karaf-assembly) so adding following snippet in related pom.xml does it:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
       <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Of course, built artifacts will not end in .m2 directory, but that is ok in my case.

This solution worked after adding the following explicit in my project .pom file.

           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
               <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
               <version>2.5.2</version>
           </plugin>
           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
               <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
               <version>2.8.2</version>
           </plugin>

In my project artifiact maven-install-plugin 2.5.2 was already included, but not maven-deploy-plugin. It looks like it is using artifact maven-deploy-plugin under water. While it is not defined in the project .pom file, mvn picks up the last version in the repository (which is 3.0.0-M1) which ends with an error.
