Re: [m2e-dev] testing m2e conectors
|
I have another question regarding resting m2e connectors.
The test modules in m2eclipse-extras contain "remoterepo" directories
that contain slices of maven repository with dependencies required by
the test projects, plugged in as "central" repository using settings.xml.
This strikes me as weird, because NOT putting jars into SCM repositories
is one of core tenets of Maven!
I tried setting up my test project without this, but I found that the
projects' dependencies are downloaded from repo1 without problems, the
build hangs for a long time downloading repository index (not to mention
several hundred MB bandwidth burned / disk space used)
My tests don't need to use the index and I'd be happy to disable the
download. I've looked at
org.eclipse.m2e.core.embedder.IMavenConfiguration, hoping I could
disable index download during initialization of my test case, but first,
IMavenConfiguration does not have setUpdateIndexesOnStartup method,
second, even if it did, that could have been not enough, because when
AbstractMavenProjectTestCase.setUp is executed, the test application is
already running and the index download has started.
This makes me wonder if the repoterepo thing is used only to avoid
repository index download, or is there another reason I am not aware of?
Index download is a showstopper for running tests so I will go forward
with commiting jars to SCM, but if there is any other solution, I'd like
to try it out :)
cheers,
Rafał
