Owen Farrell commented on SUREFIRE-1383: ---------------------------------------- The maven-compiler-plugin seems to handle this issue just fine when building a list of classpathEntries. I'm not a Maven API SME by any means, so the below is a bit of a guess in terms of approach: * AbstractSurefireMojo.scanDependencies needs to inspect projects on the MavenSession * For each scanned dependency that is found in the session ** Translate the dependency in to a MavenProject instance (by leveraging the session?) ** Get the build output directory for the project ** Create new directory scanner that wraps the build output directory of the project > dependenciesToScan Does Not Leverage Classpath Elements > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1383 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1383 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Surefire Plugin > Affects Versions: 2.20 > Reporter: Owen Farrell > Fix For: 3.0, 2.20.1 > > Attachments: scanned-dependencies-sample.zip > > > The <dependenciesToScan> configuration attribute relies solely on installed > artifacts. This is an issue when the targeted dependencies were built as part > of the current session. The net result is that stale artifacts are used (i.e. > if the dependency has changed since it was last installed) or the tests are > not executed at all (if the dependency has not been previously installed. > Attached is a sample project that illustrates this issue: > Given I have a multi-module project > And the first module built includes test classes as part of the project > artifact > And subsequent modules scan the first for unit tests to execute > When I execute the _*test*_ goal (prior to any install) > Then the build should succeed > And tests should be executed with each module -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
