[jira] Commented: (MNG-1921) test scope in dependencyManagement does not appear to be transitive to dependent subProjects

["Brian Bonner (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1921?page=comments#action_54936 ] 

Brian Bonner commented on MNG-1921:
-----------------------------------

I made an error.

The peer pom only looks like this:

<dependency>
<artifactId>child</artifactId>
</dependency>

and has no reference to easymock,  however it should pick it up transitively, or so I believe.

> If we have a root pom.xml that includes dependencyManagement and specifies the scope on a dependent component to be test, it's picked up in a subproject, but it's does not appear to be transitive.
> e.g.  parent pom
> <dependencyMgmt>
>    <dependency>
>         <artifactId>easymock</artifactId>
>         ...
>         <scope>test</scope>
>    </dependency>
> </dependencyMgmt>
> child pom
> <dependency>
>       <artifactId>easymock</artifactId>

> peer pom
> <dependency>
>      <artifactId>child</artifactId>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
>       <artifactId>easymock</artifactId>
> </dependency>
> The peer pom gets compilation exceptions indicating that it can't find the package specified by the dependent jar easymock.  The easymock jar is nowhere in the classpath.
