Error “The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory” after executing maven command

Question

I have a pom.xml in C:\\Users\\AArmijos\\Desktop\\Factura Electronica\\MIyT\\componentes-1.0.4\\sources\\pom.xml and I executed:

mv         


        

Answer 1

For any of those who are experiencing this on Windows and none of the above worked, try running this from cmd.exe. Executing these commands via PowerShell caused the install to fail each time.

Answer 2

On Windows, I got this error when running under a non-administrator command prompt. When I ran this as administrator, the error went away.

Answer 3

Please run it from the directory where POM.XML resides.

Answer 4

Check for the name of the file, i.e pom.xml file is spelled correctly with proper file extension .xml.

Example for this error are

pom.ml pm.xl

Answer 6

Add the Jenkinsfile where the pom.xml file has present. Provide the directory path on dir('project-dir'),

Ex:

node {

    withMaven(maven:'maven') {

        stage('Checkout') {
            git url: 'http://xxxxxxx/gitlab/root/XXX.git', credentialsId: 'xxxxx', branch: 'xxx'
        }

        stage('Build') {

            **dir('project-dir') {**
                sh 'mvn clean install'

                def pom = readMavenPom file:'pom.xml'

                print pom.version
                env.version = pom.version
            }
        }
    }
}
