maven - How to exclude {test} scoped dependencies from build? -


i have java project build maven has dependencies. 1 of such dependencies project (i have eclipse workspace in mind) , in test scope.

    <dependency>         <groupid>my.group.id</groupid>         <artifactid>artifactid</artifactid>         <version>1.0</version>         <scope>test</scope>     </dependency> 

i build projects using following command inside project root dir

mvn clean package -dmaven.test.skip=true 

what expected happen maven build project leaving test dependencies behind. unresolved dependency exception thrown (unresolved test scoped dependency). ran build command -x option, spoted following report in project build plan:

[debug] dependencies (collect): [] [debug] dependencies (resolve): [compile, runtime, test] [debug] repositories (dependencies): [central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2, releases)] [debug] repositories (plugins)     : [central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2, releases)] [debug] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 

so despite skipping tests , compiling them (mvn clean compile runs fine) maven tries resolve test dependencies.

how exclude test dependencies build plan dependency resolving step when skipping test executions?

in short: can't. @ least not easily. maven.test.skip not prevent surefire:test mojo running, configures plugin nothing. (same compile:testcompile).

both mojos need dependency resolving of scope test (part of mojo definition).

so, options of preventing dependencies being resolved either:

  • use profile , rebind compiler:testcompile surefire:test non existing phases
  • put test dependencies in separate profile

however, both options rather dirty.

so best bet install dependent artifacts first (using mvn install) , accept way maven resolves dependencies.
