Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1168: ---------------------------------------- I think the surefire did not properly clarify "life cycle". The parameter talks about scopes but the parameter values refer to life cycle instead. Therefore it is a little confused for everyone. The problem is that "provided" is not a real life cycle. We need to find a new syntax for specifying two different semantics: scope and life cycle. So for instance: [runtime] - states for scope runtime - states for life cycle but specifies two scopes namely compile and runtime. I am not sure if brackets is the right syntax for single scope. Multiple scopes might be e.g. [compile, test]. Form my PoV the documentation needs more eyes. > failsafe won't exclude scope 'provided' > --------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1168 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1168 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Maven Failsafe Plugin > Affects Versions: 2.18.1 > Reporter: Benson Margulies > > https://github.com/bimargulies/failsafe-cp-tc is a test case. > I have a jar with provided scope which needs to _not_ be in the classpath > when running the tests. So, I wrote: > {code} > <configuration> > > <classpathDependencyScopeExclude>provided</classpathDependencyScopeExclude> > </configuration> > {code} > No such luck, the jar remains in the classpath. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
