Dmitry Andrianov created MDEP-687: ------------------------------------- Summary: includeScope=runtime for copy-dependencies does not include transitive compile-time dependencies Key: MDEP-687 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-687 Project: Maven Dependency Plugin Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Dmitry Andrianov
We using {{copy-dependencies}} from dependency plugin to collect all the libraries needed by the application at runtime into a {{lib/}} directory. We obviously do not want to include any test dependencies so we are setting {code:xml} <includeScope>runtime</includeScope>{code} It normally works as expected except for one case. Imagine:: {code:java} application | + libOne (test) | + libTwo (compile) | + libOne (compile) {code} With this layout our application only needs {{libOne}} during tests but at the same time we depend on {{libTwo}} which in turn depends on {{libOne}}. In the end {{libOne}} is required for the application to function. Unfortunately it gets excluded by {{copy-dependencies}} with {{scope=runtime}}. This is a nasty surprise given the documentation [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html#includeScope] says {quote}The scopes being interpreted are the scopes as Maven sees them, not as specified in the pom. {quote} Surely, Maven should see {{libOne}} as a runtime thing when resolving dependencies... Below is a full POM that reproduces the case (with arbitrary libraries though). We have {{logback-access}} as compile dependency and it should bring {{logback-core}} with it but because we also declare {{logback-core}} as a test dependency for the application - it gets demoted to test only and not included into {{lib/}} directory. {code:xml} <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>test</groupId> <artifactId>pom-test</artifactId> <version>0.1</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1.2</version> <executions> <execution> <id>copy-dependencies</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>copy-dependencies</goal> </goals> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory> <!-- what we trying to do here is to not include any dependencies that are needed for testing ONLY into our "final" lib/ directory --> <includeScope>runtime</includeScope> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId> <artifactId>logback-access</artifactId> <version>1.2.2</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId> <artifactId>logback-core</artifactId> <version>1.2.2</version> <!-- logback-access has a 'compile' dependency to logback-core --> <!-- what we trying to say here is that for our test module, we only need it as 'test' --> <!-- however it should still end as a runtime scope because needed by logback-access! --> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId> <version>1.7.25</version> <!-- This one is also a test-time dependency and should not end up in the lib/ because nothing brings it as compile/runtime --> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </project>{code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
