test-scoped dependencies sometimes used instead of compile-scoped if group and
artifact are the same
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MJAVADOC-221
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-221
Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.5
Environment: Maven 2.0.9, WinXP and Redhat Linux
Reporter: Jeff Mills
Priority: Minor
I had a build failing because of unresolved classes, but only in the
javadoc:javadoc goal, not when compiling. Debugging showed that the classpath
excluded some expected compile-scoped dependencies and replaced them with the
test-scoped dependencies that have the same group and artifact IDs but
different classifier ("tests").
We have a few modules for which we use the jar:test-jar goal to package the
unit test code for re-use by other modules. So the dependent modules specify 2
dependencies: group:artifact with compile scope and group:artifact:classifer
with test scope. What I discovered was that this plugin uses the one that is
specified last, regardless of whether its scope is compile or test. IOW, I
fixed my build by moving my test-scoped dependencies to be before the
compile-scoped dependencies.
Example resulting in test jar (moduleA-version-tests.jar) in classpath instead
of the main jar (moduleA-version.jar):
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.group</groupId>
<artifactId>moduleA</artifactId>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.group</groupId>
<artifactId>moduleA</artifactId>
<classifier>tests</classifer>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Example resulting in correct classpath:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.group</groupId>
<artifactId>moduleA</artifactId>
<classifier>tests</classifer>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.company.group</groupId>
<artifactId>moduleA</artifactId>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
