maven-dependency-plugin 未显示测试范围的依赖项

Question

I'm attempting to display the full tree of dependencies for a project I'm working on using the maven-dependency-plugin version 3.1.2 from the command line, but the mvn dependency:tree goal (nor any of the other goals from the maven-dependency-plugin) is not showing the test dependencies. The documentation of the plugin ( https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/tree-mojo.html ) states that all scopes are included by default, so using the -Dscope=test shouldn't be necessary (but when adding this parameter, the output doesn't change).

I've run this with a clean.m2 repository, using no settings.xml file (to ensure that all artifacts are coming directly from repo.maven.apache.org ).

I'm running using maven 3.6.2 on a linux environment (CentOS 7) and using Oracle Java 1.8.0_144

Here's my POM:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

  <artifactId>cayenne-eval</artifactId>

    <dependency>

      <artifactId>cayenne-client</artifactId>
      <version>4.2.M2</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

</project>

Here's the output I receive from running the command mvn dependency:tree :

When referring to the cayenne-server pom, however, there are many dependencies marked as test which are not shown in the output (specifically, the following are direct dependencies of cayenne-server , see https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.apache.cayenne/cayenne-server/4.2.M2/jar ):

        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <!-- this one have old Xerces dependency that clashes with JDK's one -->
                    <groupId>nekohtml</groupId>
                    <artifactId>nekohtml</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>xmlunit</groupId>
            <artifactId>xmlunit</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

So, is there something that I'm missing that needs to be enabled to show these test -scoped dependencies, and / or is this a weird artifact unique to the cayenne-server dependency?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Dependencies of scope test are not transitive.

The test dependencies of your dependencies are not part of your dependency tree. They are ignored by Maven.
