A common source structure (e.g. used by maven and gradle) is that tests are in
separate source directory with separate output directory
and are in the same packages as the code that is being tested, so the tests can
access code elements that have package visibility.
Also, test dependencies like junit should not be referenced in the module-info.java,
so „main" code cannot accidentally access them.
The question is, how to compile the tests with javac (version 9.0.1)?
:
Is compiling code test code (or any code to be used with --patch-module) as
part of the module actually possible with javac?
Yes, --patch-module is needed to compile the tests "as if" they are part
of the module, e.g.
javac --module-path classes:junit.jar --patch-module m=src/test/java
--add-reads m=junit -d test-classes \
src/test/java/p1/P1Test.java
Are you using Maven? If so then the maven-compiler-plugin already does
this for you when the project is a module.
