Unknown artifact type[test-jar] with Infinispan 5.2.5.Final

[kovica1]

I'm trying to use infinispan-core and infinispan-cdi, both versions 5.2.5.Final in my maven based JEE 6 application.

When I build it I get this error:

Reactor Summary:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ear-plugin:2.8:generate-application-xml (default-generate-application-xml) on project TestInfinispan-ear: Failed to initialize ear modules: Unknown artifact type[test-jar] -> [Help 1]

To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch.

Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles:

After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command

  mvn <goals> -rf :TestInfinispan-ear

This does not happen on 5.1.8.Final.

I've also attached a sample application to demonstrate the error.

Hi kovica1,

Try this:

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>

    <artifactId>infinispan-core</artifactId>

    <version>${infinispan.version}</version>

    <scope>compile</scope>

</dependency>

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.infinispan</groupId>

    <artifactId>infinispan-cdi</artifactId>

    <version>${infinispan.version}</version>

    <scope>provided</scope>

</dependency>

Hope it help. Because I experience the same, and it worked that way.

I ran the maven in debug mode and I can see that why this is failing,  org.jboss.jbossas:jboss-as-j2se=org.jboss.jbossas:jboss-as-j2se:test-jar:tests:5.1.0.GA:compile  , this transitive dependency get added but looks like that there is not any tests:5.10.GA , if you exclude this transitive dependency you will not get the error anymore .

Check the dependency Hierarchy , I was using JBOSS EAP 6.4.X version BOM in my maven.
