I'm working with a user who is getting an error from a build that looks like
this:
-------------------
Could not resolve dependencies for project
<groupId>:<artifactId1>:bundle:2.0.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact
<groupId>:<artifact2>:jar:tests
--------------
I elided the groupId and artifact ids, but the trailing part of the artifact
reference was ":jar:tests". I need to understand this "tests" thing.
I'm building the same branch, and I don't see this error, so I need to
understand what's going on here.
The POM for "artifact1" has two dependencies on "artifact2". One is the
"default" artifact, and another is a jar artifact that is only used for unit
tests.
The dependency elements in the POM for "artifact1" look like this:
-------------------
<dependency>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact2</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>...</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact2</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>test-jar</type>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
-------------------
In the POM for "artifact2", there is the following plugin definition:
-----------
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
-----------
Notice that the only place you see "tests" so far is in that error message
(which my colleague gets, but I do not).
I then looked in the "target" directory for "artifact2", and I saw the
following:
-----------------
artifact2-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
artifact2-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT-tests.jar
----------------
Ok, there's the "tests". The question is, how did I end up with "*-tests.jar"?
I'm also unsure of the proper way to generate an "auxiliary" jar like this.
Perhaps this should be refined to be more robust?
