Multi-Module Project: module that depends on sibling test jar cannot execute test-compile without install of sibling first --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3559 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3559 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Bootstrap & Build Affects Versions: 2.0.9, 2.0.8 Reporter: Joshua Pollak Attachments: demoPom.tgz We have project with a few sibling modules: * Project ----moduleA +-- /src/main/java (Common Code) +-- /src/test/java (Common Test Framework) ----moduleB ----moduleC +-- /src/main/java (Production Code, depends on moduleA Common code) +-- /src/test/java (Production Test Framework, depends on moduleA Common Test Framework) I dont think there is anything wrong with this project in concept. moduleC's "main" code depends son moduleA's "main" code, and moduleC's test code depends on moduleA's test code. This works if I run 'mvn install', but for rapid development, we often run single unit tests and need to be able to run "mvn test" from the top level project, which fails. For an example, download the attached project and run "mvn test" from the trunk directory. It will fail with the error pasted below. Then, run "mvn install" and everything works ok. We should be able to run our unit tests without having to install first.
