I have ProjectOuter which depends on ProjectCore. However, many of the tests of ProjectCore are placed in ProjectOuter. ProjectOuter has a large bunch of enterprise level initializations and dependencies, etc which is utilized by the BaseTestCase(present in ProjectOuter). Every test case then extends the BaseTestCase - including those testcases which actually test functionality placed in ProjectCore.
Not the recommended unit test design I guess, but it's been like that historically and we don't have immediate bandwidth to correct it since it would require a lot of rework :( Now my problem is that the code coverage report shows very low percentage for ProjectCore as a large part of the testcases are in ProjectOuter. The workaround I have found is - Place a 'test' scope dependency of ProjectCore on ProjectOuter - In pom, for main profile, skip test-compile during the compile phase - In pom, for coverage profile, do not skip testC-compile during compile phase Now, to get coverage, I'd need to build with maven clean install using main profile, followed by maven test using coverage profile. Do you have any better suggestions to solve the problem? ( I'd prefer not calling two separate maven commands from two profiles to get coverage) -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Test-scope-to-avoid-cyclic-dependency-tp5729481.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
