Resolution: Duplicate
> 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
> Assigned To: Carlos Sanchez
> 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.
