The solution is to let the module A generate a jar with the test classes
by adding to A's pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Then you can include the jar with the test classes from module A by
adding to the depedencies of module B:
<dependency>
<groupId>groupA</groupId>
<artifactId>A</artifactId>
<version>versionA</version>
<type>test-jar</type>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Holger

Subject: Module B can't find base test class from module A during
compilation
All,
I'm facing the following problem.
I have a multi module project, one module (let's call it Module A)
contains a base test class in moduleA/src/test/java/... Module B has
some test classes which inherit from that base class in Module A but
during compilation of the test class in Module B I get an error from
maven compilation phase that he cannot find the base class in Module A.
Module A is a dependency for Module B = pom.xml. Tests run in Module A
are running fine, also so are the normal java files. So project
dependencies seems to be working.
So my questions are:
- During test file compilation, does maven include the test classes from
dependent modules
- How can I let maven know that he also need to look at the test classes
of its dependent modules while compiling its own test classes
Grtz
