Re: [jbehave-user] use of maven embedder and scope=provided dependencies

[Mauro Talevi]

Hi Brian,

can you provide us with a sample project (with pom.xml and the simplest 
source possible) reproducing this issue?

Thanks

Hello there

I've been trying to use jbehave on a project and I ran into some problems.
When running the maven goal, I got the following error:

    [ERROR] Failed to execute goal
    org.jbehave:jbehave-maven-plugin:3.6.7:run-stories-as-embeddables
    (default-cli) on project springmvc-router: Execution default-cli
    of goal
    org.jbehave:jbehave-maven-plugin:3.6.7:run-stories-as-embeddables
    failed: A required class was missing while executing
    org.jbehave:jbehave-maven-plugin:3.6.7:run-stories-as-embeddables:
    javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest


It looks like jbehave's Embedder classloader can't locate 
the HttpServletRequest. This dependency is declared in my main POM 
like this:

          <dependency>
                <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
                <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
                <version>2.5</version>
                <scope>provided</scope>
            </dependency>


If I ever change the scope to "compile", I get another error saying:

    Caused by: java.lang.InstantiationException:
    org.myproject.OneOfMyProjectClasses
    at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:340)
    at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308)
    at
    
org.jbehave.core.embedder.EmbedderClassLoader.newInstance(EmbedderClassLoader.java:37)
    ... 24 more



Is there a typo/bug in my configuration?
I've browsed jbehave-maven-plugin (AbstractEmbedderMojo to be precise) 
but couldn't anything on dependencies in provided scope. Should I open 
an issue about that?

This is the maven config I've added to my POM:


                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.jbehave</groupId>
    <artifactId>jbehave-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${jbehave.version}</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
    <id>run-stories-as-embeddables</id>
    <phase>integration-test</phase>
                            <configuration>
                                <scope>test</scope>
                                <includes>
    <include>**/MyStories.java</include>
                                </includes>
                            </configuration>
                            <goals>
    <goal>run-stories-as-embeddables</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
