test scope should inherit provided scope
----------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2611
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2611
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Paul Jungwirth
Priority: Minor
When I run my tests, the classpath includes all my provided-scope dependencies.
The docs online don't say they should be there, but I guess it makes sense,
right? Provided scope means I need them to run, but they'll be available after
I deploy. Therefore maven needs to provide them when I'm just running tests. So
far so good.
The problem is that if my project relies on library A with a test scope, and A
relies on B with a provided scope, I don't have B in my classpath when my
project runs its tests.
Here is the setup:
Project depends on A with test scope.
A depends on B with provided scope.
When I run A's tests, I have B in my classpath.
When I run Project's tests, I don't have B in my classpath.
I see there were other bugs opened about how provided scope should be
transitive, but they are closed. It looks like it is still not transitive
through a test-scoped dependency.
