The test phase does not include packaging
(https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html).
So `mvn tsst` only runs the tests for the specific module. If there is a
dependency, it will not work as the dependency has not yet run the packaging
step.
I think, your test is a kind of integration test, as you test the integration
of your application with the other module.
Have you tried running `mvn verify` instead of `mvn test`? The verify phase is
based on the packaging phase. So in your multi-module build, the
dependency-module should be build, tested, and packaged first. Then the
application-module should do run through the same lifecycle phases and find a
packaged dependency-module for its (integration) testing.
You could see what happens in the different phases, with `mvn
buildplan:list-phases`.
Perhaps you would like to separate tests for the application-module, having
unit tests for the internal units of work, and integration-tests running in the
verify-phase only?
