[jira] [Commented] (SLING-8060) Sling Testing Mocks: Transitive dependencies necessary at test execution time should be defined with scope "compile"

["Konrad Windszus (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8060?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16669103#comment-16669103 ] 

Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-8060:
----------------------------------------

I provided a PR for Testing Sling Mock in https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-testing-sling-mock/pull/2. Unfortunately switching to individual OSGi artifacts is not easily possible, as several OSGi dependencies are also necessary due to used dependencies (which themselves declare their runtime dependencies with scope "provided"). To maintain the list of individual OSGi dependencies (not only for the direct usages but also for the transitive ones is just way too much effort). So let's stick to the aggregate ones.
[~sseifert@pro-vision.de] WDYT?

> Currently Testing OSGi Mock and Testing Sling Mock have a class execution time dependency to e.g. OSGi Configuration Admin and Event Admin (in https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-testing-osgi-mock/blob/b04e06522379d32552353304746fbcdb09258460/core/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/testing/mock/osgi/MockOsgi.java#L312 and in https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-testing-sling-mock/blob/ef994bfbc9ae2288c66ef8be7fd3997913cc9144/core/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/testing/mock/sling/ResourceResolverFactoryInitializer.java#L42). Still the dependency to it is only defined with scope "provided" in https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-testing-osgi-mock/blob/b04e06522379d32552353304746fbcdb09258460/parent/pom.xml#L49 and https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-testing-sling-mock/blob/986bdfbbf6c3f5f416d6acc24329eb431f67494a/core/pom.xml#L37.
> That is a problem as transitive dependencies with scope "provided" are not included in the classpath. That may lead to the fact that the ConfigurationAdmin/EventAdmin is not part of the testing classpath (in case it isn't explicitly defined for some other reason) . Please make sure that all dependencies which are actually always necessary at test execution time are included with scope "compile" (https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope).
> This issue does not happen that often, as in most of the cases the to be tested modules already define an explicit dependency to {{org.osgi:osgi.cmpn}} and {{org.osgi:osgi.core}}, but since nowadays the OSGi foundation provides not only the aggregate dependencies but also individual ones, this is no longer necessarily the case (compare with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7384?focusedCommentId=16327433&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16327433).
> At the same time of converting the dependency scope to "compile" we should switch from the aggregate to the individual osgi artifacts (to be able to more granularly define which OSGi level is used).
