[SOLVED] Maven - Different Dependency Version in Test

Maven - Different Dependency Version in Test

I'm suffering an issue similar to Maven 2 - different dependency versions in test and compile but the specified answer there does not work.

In my project I need to depend on a Cloudera distribution of Hadoop and a 'vanilla' version for JUnit testing, as the former only works on *nix.

When I try and execute my application, I get Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/conf/Configuration. When I run JUnit tests from Maven or Eclipse, everything works fine. If I comment out the test dependencies, the application runs successfully.

Why is the compile dependency getting ignored when the test dependency is uncommented?

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
        <artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
        <version>0.20.2-cdh3u2</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
        <artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
        <artifactId>hadoop-test</artifactId>
        <version>1.0.0</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

mvn dependency:list is shown below. The compile scoped version does not show up at all:

Solution

Looks like a maven bug - or if not, something that is fishy enough I wouldn't trust the documentation if there were any.

In your case, I would probably:

upgrade maven and see if the issue is fixed in the latest m3
try repackaging one of the hadoop versions with another artifact id or group name. maven-shade-plugin, don't bother changing the package name, but just introduce something maven won't know is no different from org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core
try moving the tests to a separate project downstream
start debugging maven and understand what's going on exactly (and then fall back on 1 or 2...)
