[jira] [Closed] (MNG-5978) test libraries should declare expected scope in their pom

["Christian Schulte (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5978?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Christian Schulte closed MNG-5978.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Problem

That's what you use dependency management for. Just put {{<scope>test</scope>}} into {{<dependencyManagement>}} and Maven will use that scope everywhere no scope has been declared explicitly.

> when using test libraries and forgetting to include the expected <scope>test</scope> this could have your jars and wars inflated and could also create some problems in your environment.
> I suggest to include the expected scope in your pom, and then when depending on that library, checking against the actual pom.
> if those do not match then a warning should be triggered.
> also this should be recursive - the check should not emit a warning if the using library is also a test library.
> I'd love to hear your comments on this Wish!
