Martin Höller updated SUREFIRE-2085:
------------------------------------
Description:
Assume a simple multi-module project with an API and an implementation module
with JUnit as the testing framework. The API module just has interfaces and no
unit tests at all, thus, no dependency to junit. It does not declare any
configuration of the surefire-plugin in its POM. The implementation module uses
junit 4.13.2 and has a few tests.
If I run {{mvn test -DexcludedGroups=SlowTest}} Surefire fails the build of the
API module with the following error message:
{quote}[ERROR] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M6:test (default-test) on
project sample-api: groups/excludedGroups require TestNG, JUnit48+ or JUnit 5
(a specific engine required on classpath) on project test classpath -> [Help 1]
{quote}
Note, that tests in the implementation module might (or might not) use
categories as explained [in the documentation|#Using_JUnit_Categories].
IMHO Surefire should not fail the build in this situation as it would otherwise
require one to either declare an unused dependency or configure surefire to be
skipped, even if it's not used at all.
