[BUG] M2 cache volume is created and mounted for non java providers

[pranavgaikwad]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Konveyor version

v0.9.0-alpha.4 / latest

Priority

Blocker

Current Behavior

I am unable to run nodejs analysis on mac due to 2 reasons:

1. It seems that kantra is trying to mount .m2 cache volume which is not required for Nodejs.
2. It seems to be blindly mounting .m2 directory regardless of whether it exists locally or not
   CORRECTION: The .m2 cache does exist locally but I am still seeing an error "does not exist". See logs below.

Expected Behavior

1. m2 cache should not be required for any non java providers.
2. analysis should succeed

How Reproducible

Always

Steps To Reproduce

1. Download 0.9.0-alpha.4 from release page and use kantra analyze sub-command to analyze a nodejs app using patternfly rules https://github.com/konveyor/rulesets/tree/main/preview/nodejs/patternfly and any sample app, you may use https://github.com/konveyor/tackle2-ui:

kantra analyze --input <> --output <> --target patternfly-v6 --enable-default-rulesets=false --provider=nodejs

Environment

- OS: macos, arm

I am able to work around this by setting KANTRA_SKIP_MAVEN_CACHE=true. That skips the m2 cache mounting part. See here
