What does "[ERROR] file doesn't exist" means when doing maven install?

When I execute maven install in my gitlab build, I get the following error message:

12338 [INFO] Installing com.mycompany:myartifact:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT at end 12338 [INFO] 12338 [INFO] --- maven-bundle-plugin:3.3.0:install (default-install) @ myartifact --- 12411 [ERROR] file doesn't exist: file:/root/.m2/repository/com/mycompany/myartifact/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/myartifact-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

I don't understand what does it mean. The file obviously doesn't exist because it was never installed in that environment, so it's strange that maven would complain about it.

I suppose this error hides some other error, like no write rights? But I see not other error in log. The build seems to be successful.

When you do maven install, It usually looks into your .m2 folder and searches for the existence of the dependencies(mentioned in pom.xml). If it doesn't exist, maven will automatically download it. So the build will be successful.

Try to make a clean install, maybe it's just a local repository issue

mvn clean install
