[mojo-user] Groovy maven plugin unit testing - cannot find junit.framework.TestCase

[David Black]

Hi,

I'm  trying to use the groovy-maven plugin. This is my configuration:

           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
               <artifactId>groovy-maven-plugin</artifactId>
               <executions>
                   <execution>
                       <goals>
                           <goal>testCompile</goal>
                       </goals>
                       <configuration>
                           <sources>
                               <fileset>
                                   <directory>${pom.basedir
}/src/test/groovy</directory>
                                   <includes>
                                       <include>**/*.groovy</include>
                                   </includes>
                               </fileset>
                           </sources>
                       </configuration>
                   </execution>
               </executions>
           </plugin>

I have these 2 dependencies:

       <dependency>
           <groupId>junit</groupId>
           <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
           <version>3.8.1</version>
           <scope>test</scope>
       </dependency>
       <dependency>
           <groupId>groovy</groupId>
           <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
           <version>1.0</version>
           <scope>test</scope>
       </dependency>

I have a really simple test which extends GroovyTestCase. Using the goal
groovy:testCompile I get this error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: junit/framework/TestCase

etc.

junit and groovy-all are in my repository. I've tried various things like
removing scope=test, explicity importing junit.framework.TestCase into the
Groovy test, just keep getting this same error.

Does anyone have an open source project with this working I could look at?

any help much appreciated
