Unit tests should not have a fixed version ------------------------------------------ Key: FORGE-1045 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1045 Project: Forge Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Test Harness Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Alpha7 Reporter: George Gastaldi Assignee: George Gastaldi Fix For: 2.0.0.Alpha10 Tests now depend on 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT, which may fail when a new version of the addon dependency is released. We should find some way to avoid declaring the addon dependencies version directly in the Java class. Excerpt from IRC: {quote} <gastaldi> lincolnthree, about the version in the dependencies <gastaldi> in the tests <lincolnthree> yes <gastaldi> What if we consider that if no @Dependencies annotation were provided it should use the pom's dependencies ? <lincolnthree> can't do that <gastaldi> why ? <lincolnthree> because you should be able to depend on dependencies that don't exist <lincolnthree> without having to remove them from the pom <lincolnthree> it's a valid failure scenario (laughs at that wording) <lincolnthree> so we need to be able to test it <lincolnthree> gastaldi: i would much prefer setting the version to "POM" <lincolnthree> or omitting the version entirely <lincolnthree> from the @AddonDependency annotation <gastaldi> I think it's already optional, no ? <lincolnthree> it is <lincolnthree> and the default is LATEST <lincolnthree> default should probably be POM, which we should intercept and replace with the pom version <lincolnthree> or throw a deployment exception if it could not be resolved <gastaldi> I see <lincolnthree> thoughts? <gastaldi> What about the AddonDependencyEntry.create statements ? <gastaldi> sounds fair so far <gastaldi> we could introduce a new method in ForgeArchive <gastaldi> addAddonDependenciesAsDeclaredInPOMForGodsSake() <lincolnthree> ah… right <lincolnthree> well <lincolnthree> the version there doesn't matter, remember? <lincolnthree> so we could actually make the version optional <lincolnthree> it could default to "anything" <gastaldi> so so we need a AnythingGoesVersion implements Version subclass <gastaldi> an enum <gastaldi> public enum Anything implements Version { INSTANCE;} <gastaldi> hum, or the version could be empty, right <gastaldi> in that case there is already the EmptyVersion class <lincolnthree> right {quote}
