ignoring test dependencies when you run maven with maven.test.skip=true

[Rohnny Moland <rm...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I was reading this:

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

It works fine if I build my project and run the tests, but what if I
want to just build my project and skip the tests? I get a dependency
resolution error then, because my test dependency cannot be found.

I know 2 possible solutions:
1) Create a profile and include my test dependency in it. This is
misuse of a profile in my opinion.
2) Deploy the test dependency in a local repository and only depend on
it as a binary.

I dont really understand why the reactor does not ignore dependencies
with scope=test, when you run maven with the skip test option set to
true. Isnt this how it should be?


Regards,
Rohnny.

Build your project with maven.test.skip.exec=true

This will build the required test-jar dependencies but skip test execution.
