Thanks for that link. I see that the intended drawback is
Note: The downside of this solution is that you don't get the
transitive test-scoped dependencies automatically.
That's definitely something to keep in mind. I don't think it's a huge
drawback for us since we will be reassembling multiple test artifacts
with similar requirements into a single module.
Actually, I would say that it's a plus since we get to control the
dependencies rather than get a mess from potentially different
dependencies from the test modules.
