Christopher Tubbs commented on SUREFIRE-923:
--------------------------------------------
Alright, so I've made an attempt and cannot reproduce this as described. This
may be the result of a misunderstanding that transitive test dependencies are
not inherited into the test scope. At least in my case, I saw that changing the
version of a dependency which had a transitive dependency on junit at the
compile scope, changed whether or not a newer version of junit was used.
So, it looks like this can be re-closed as "Not A Problem", "Cannot reproduce",
or a similar status.
> Scanning for junit4.8 when using groups/excludedGroups does not consider

> Key: SUREFIRE-923
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-923
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.12.4
> Reporter: James Shaw
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
>
> I've had to include junit explicitly in my pom to get groups/excludedGroups
> to work. If it's included through a transitive dependency I get the error:
> {code}
> groups/excludedGroups require TestNG or JUunit48+ on project test classpath
> {code}
> Also, note the typo in "JUunit48+" ;)
