Dan Berindei updated ISPN-10043:
--------------------------------
Status: Open (was: New)
Add explicit dependency on surefire-testng
------------------------------------------
Key: ISPN-10043
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-10043
Project: Infinispan
Issue Type: Task
Components: Build
Affects Versions: 10.0.0.Beta2, 9.4.9.Final
Reporter: Dan Berindei
Assignee: Dan Berindei
Priority: Major
Fix For: 10.0.0.Beta3, 9.4.10.Final
We need to be able to collect all the dependencies in a private repository and run the
build without access to Maven Central for the product.
{{maven-surefire-plugin}} doesn't have an explicit dependency on {{surefire-testng}},
instead it resolves it dynamically when it finds {{TestNG}} in the classpath. This means
{{surefire-testng}} and its transitive dependencies are not detected automatically and
need to be imported manually.
When a dependency is not imported, it is pretty hard to debug: there is only a warning
during the build:
{noformat}
[WARNING] Missing POM for org.apache.maven.surefire:surefire-testng-utils:jar:3.0.0-M3
{noformat}
And then the failure message only mentions a specific class:
{noformat}
There was an error in the forked process
org/apache/maven/surefire/testng/utils/Stoppable
{noformat}
We should add an explicit dependency on {{surefire-testng}} on core, like the modules
using {{JUnit}} have an explicit dependency on {{surefire-junit47}}, in order to allow
automatic detection of its transitive dependencies and to get better error messages.
