Setting testOutDirectory to ${basedir}/target/test-classes causes test
classpath to be reversed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3416
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3416
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Inheritance and Interpolation
Affects Versions: 2.0.8
Reporter: Ben Lidgey
Environment: maven 2.0.8, surefire 2.4.1,2.4.2
We are running tests using Surefire 2.4.1 and Maven 2.0.8. The Junit test
classes are expecting to load a properties file from
{{src/test/resources}} with the same name as a properties file in
{{src/main/resources}} to load test data etc. However the src/main/resources
properties file is being loaded.
Looking at the debug output shows:
[DEBUG] Test Classpath :
[DEBUG] C:\Documents and
Settings\benl\.m2\repository\junit\junit\4.2\junit-4.2.jar
[more jars]
[DEBUG] c:\Development\Projects\MyProject\target\classes
[DEBUG] c:\Development\Projects\MyProject\target\test-classes
Which would explain it. Setting childDelegation to true doesn't get the
test-classes before classes in the classpath order.
I generated the effective-pom and used it in a copy of the Surefire integration
test for the classpath order
(http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/surefire/trunk/surefire-integration-tests/src/test/resources/classpath-order).
The tests failed. I then trawled through the project POM and then its parent
POM commenting out plugins, reporting, dependencies, and other bits until the
test passed.
The thing that was causing the test to fail was that in the parent POM:
{code:xml}
<defaultGoal>package</defaultGoal>
<directory>target</directory>
<finalName>${pom.artifactId}-${pom.version}</finalName>
<sourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
<testSourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/test/java</testSourceDirectory>
<testOutputDirectory>${basedir}/target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/classes</outputDirectory>
{code}
Changing just testOutputDirectory to
{code:xml}
<testOutputDirectory>target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory>
{code}
Made the tests pass. I've no idea why.
