Apparent Maven / JUnit clash in eclipse [message #19255] Mon, 25 May 2009 01:06 Go to next message

Maven likes to compile test code to /target/test-classes

This isnt part of the default Build Path.

When eclipse's JUnit launcher runs, it doesnt include /target/test-classes
in its classpath, and no test classes are found.

My workaround is to add /target/test-classes to the Run Classpath of my
unit test launch shortcut.

Plus, Ive found I need to run mvn compiler:testCompile manually, because
the eclipse builder seems not to (always) build that folder automatically?

It would be nice to get better integration here eventually.

I have created a new maven project by using the wizard and checking the
"Create a simple maven project" checkbox.

In this project, src/main/java has its output folder set to default
(target/classes) and src/test/java has its output folder correctly set to
target/test-classes.

There might be a glitch somewhere else... can you provide more information
on how did you configure your project?

This works with the simple project created above (Right-click project, Run
as, Junit Test).

If needed, you could set the output folder for the src/test/java source
folder (in the Java Build Path project properties).

There have been attempts to improve performance by avoiding running maven
goals when not needed. Maybe there is some corner case that is not
properly handled.

A test case would be very welcome.

Sure!

Ok, I've learned something new. I didnt actually know that
per-source-folder ouput-folders was even possible.

Now, Im my project, "Allow output folders for source folders" was not
checked. But when I delete and re-import the project, it behaves correctly
as you described.

So my problem probably lay between my keyboard and chair ;)
