[jira] [Commented] (MJAR-138) jar:test-jar is skipped when maven.test.skip=true

["Noël BARDELOT (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Noël BARDELOT commented on MJAR-138:
------------------------------------

Still an issue up to Maven 3.3.

In my opinion this is a bug : download of all dependencies using scope "test" should not be triggered when "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" is set.

> Not sure if this is a bug or improvement...
> Example:
> * ./pom.xml
> * ./moduleA/pom.xml
> * ./moduleB/pom.xml
> Situation:
> * moduleA produces moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar with the jar:test-jar goal
> * moduleB consumes moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar as a <dependency>...<scope>test</scope><dependency>
> Problem:
> * When -Dmaven.test.skip=true the moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar is never built.
> * Then when moduleB tries to build, it's moduleA-1.2.3-test.jar dependency is unresolved. FAIL! Even with -Dmaven.test.skip=true this will fail.
> You might argue that this is a bug with dependency resolution with -Dmaven.test.skip=true - should a missing dependency @ test scope really fail the build??? It probably should - which is why the bug is submitted here :)
> I've no idea what could be done to fix this either?
> ---
> p.s. for anyone with this bug the only workaround I can suggest is running another module...
> ./moduleA-test/pom.xml
> and have <dependency>...<artifactId>moduleA-test<artifactId>...<scope>test</scope></dependency>
