.jqassistant.yml of a maven module not or only partially applied

[bragern]

See example in my github: https://github.com/bragern/jqa-groups-test/tree/main/jqa-groups-test
(sorry, already had it written in my format but it translates well to yours)

Two Issues observed there

1) Not recognizing groups configured in '.jqassistant.yml' of a maven module when building parent

steps to recreate

• execute 'mvn clean install' on 'jqa-groups-test/jqa-groups-test-module/'
• execute 'mvn clean install' on 'jqa-groups-test/'
• compare build logs

observed

• On 'jqa-groups-test-module/' analysis happens in 'jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.0.8:analyze':

  • [INFO] --- jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.0.8:analyze (default-cli) @ jqa-groups-test-module ---
  • [INFO] Rules directory 'C:\MyFiles\projects\jqa-groups-test\jqa-groups-test\jqa-groups-test-module\jqassistant' does not exist, skipping.
  • [INFO] Executing analysis for 'jqa-groups-test-module'.
  • ...

• On 'jqa-groups-test/' nothing happens in 'jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.0.8:analyze':

  • [INFO] --- jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.0.8:analyze (default-cli) @ jqa-groups-test-module ---
  • [INFO]
  • [INFO] --- maven-install-plugin:2.4:install (default-install) @ jqa-groups-test-module ---

expected

No matter if the build is started from parent or module, the configured group in '.jqassistant.yml' of the
module should be used for jqa analysis.

As you can see in issue 2) the '.jqassistant.yml' is definitely used in both cases but the configured groups
seem to be ignored.

2) Not recognizing '.jqassistant.yml' of a maven module at all when building parent

steps to recreate

• remove 'configurationLocation' from 'jqa-groups-test/jqa-groups-test-module/.jqassistant.yml'
• execute 'mvn clean install' on 'jqa-groups-test/jqa-groups-test-module/'
• execute 'mvn clean install' on 'jqa-groups-test/'
• compare build logs

observed

• On 'jqa-groups-test-module/' right before 'jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.0.8:analyze' 'src/main' is entered
  • '[INFO] Entering src/main'
• On 'jqa-groups-test/' right before 'jqassistant-maven-plugin:2.0.8:analyze' 'src/main' is not entered

I also observed other parameters not to be used from the yml so it seems the entire yml is not loaded at all.

expected

No matter if the build is started from parent or module, the '.jqassistant.yml' of the module should be used
during module build

The implementation has been extended such that .jQAssistant.yml files are evaluated from the reactor execution root as well as from the current module. This allows for project-wide configs as well as module specific configs, e.g. additional includes for the scanner. Note that some settings (e.g. store) are always applied globally.
