Bisser Peshev commented on MJAR-138: ------------------------------------ Well, there's a workaround with Maven profiles. The test-jar dependencies will be declared only if maven.test.skip is not true: {code:xml} <profile> <activation> <property> <name>maven.test.skip</name> <value>!true</value> </property> </activation> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.acme.project</groupId> <artifactId>my-artifact</artifactId> <type>test-jar</type> <version>${project.version}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </profile> {code} Ugly, but at least works. > jar:test-jar is skipped when maven.test.skip=true > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAR-138 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAR-138 > Project: Maven JAR Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.3.1 > Environment: jar:test-jar > Reporter: Andrew Hughes > Fix For: more-investigation > > Attachments: MJAR-138-maven-jar-plugin.patch > > > Not sure if this is a bug or improvement... > Example: > * ./pom.xml > * ./moduleA/pom.xml > * ./moduleB/pom.xml > Situation: > * moduleA produces moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar with the jar:test-jar goal > * moduleB consumes moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar as a > <dependency>...<scope>test</scope><dependency> > Problem: > * When -Dmaven.test.skip=true the moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar is never built. > * Then when moduleB tries to build, it's moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar dependency is > unresolved. FAIL! Even with -Dmaven.test.skip=true this will fail. > You might argue that this is a bug with dependency resolution with > -Dmaven.test.skip=true - should a missing dependency @ test scope really fail > the build??? It probably should - which is why the bug is submitted here :) > I've no idea what could be done to fix this either? > --- > p.s. for anyone with this bug the only workaround I can suggest is running > another module... > ./moduleA-test/pom.xml > and have > <dependency>...<artifactId>moduleA-test<artifactId>...<scope>test</scope></dependency> -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
