Specified classesDirectory is added to the end of the classpath ---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-502 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-502 Project: Maven Surefire Issue Type: Bug Components: classloading Affects Versions: 2.4.3 Environment: Windows Vista SP1, Java 1.5.0_13, Maven 2.0.9 Reporter: James Shiell When you specify a classesDirectory in the configuration element of the Surefire plugin definition the classesDirectory is appended to the end of the classpath rather than replacing the build output directory. This means included dependencies take precedence over your source code. The problem appears to be the following code: if ( !project.getBuild().getOutputDirectory().equals( classesDirectory.getAbsolutePath() ) ) { classpathElements.remove( project.getBuild().getOutputDirectory() ); classpathElements.add( classesDirectory.getAbsolutePath() ); } The classes directory should replace the build output directory, e.g. if ( !project.getBuild().getOutputDirectory().equals( classesDirectory.getAbsolutePath() ) ) { final int replacementIndex = classpathElements.indexOf(project.getBuild().getOutputDirectory()); if (replacementIndex >= 0) { classpathElements.remove( project.getBuild().getOutputDirectory() ); classpathElements.add( replacementIndex, classesDirectory.getAbsolutePath() ); } else { classpathElements.add( classesDirectory.getAbsolutePath() ); } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
