[jira] [Commented] (IVY-1444) maven tests artifacts cannot be downloaded because they are mapped to private configurations

["Stephen Haberman (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1444?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13793571#comment-13793571 ] 

Stephen Haberman commented on IVY-1444:
---------------------------------------

Oddly enough, Maven does allow importing test artifacts:

http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html

So, I agree, to be compatibility, the Ivy test conf should be public.

This should be an easy fix...@subes, did you want to submit one? I can probably put something together if you'd like me to.

Ivy committers, any thoughts?

>             Project: Ivy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Maven Compatibility
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.0
>            Reporter: subes
>            Priority: Blocker

> To run an embedded hadoop server, one has to use hadoops test libraries since version 2.1.0-beta.
> Though fetching those test libraries fails with:
> {quote}
> configuration not public in xxx#yyy;2.1.0-rc2: 'test'. It was
> required from zzz#bbb;working test
> {quote}
> This is because the maven pom.xml converter creates this configuration entry:
> {quote}
> <conf name="test"
>                 visibility="private"
>                 description="this scope indicates that the dependency is not
> required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the test
> compilation and execution phases."
>                 extends="runtime"/>
> {quote}
> This makes it impossible to download test artifacts with ivy. Then the question arises, why are those tests jars in the maven repos anyway?
> Is there any way how to download the actual test artifacts of maven modules?
> Maybe the pom.xml converter needs to be adjusted to generate:
> {quote}
> <conf name="test"
>                 visibility="public"
>                 description="this scope indicates that the dependency is not
> required for normal use of the application, and is only available for the test
> compilation and execution phases."
>                 extends="runtime"/>
> {quote}
> To fix this...
