sbt-pack erroneously adds test dependencies to the delivery

[liebichw]

I have a multi-module project.
projA depends on projB.
projB now has a test-only dependency on projC (like 'projB % projC % "test->test" ').

When I pack projA, projC is also included. But the dependencies of projC are not included. This is wrong, as projC should not be included at all (and as projC's dependencies are missing, it would not work anyways).

Tested with version 0.10.0 and 0.11, both show the offending behavior.

I'm not sure why the projC is included, but as a workaround try packExclude := Seq("projC").

[liebichw]

I tried the suggestion, but it did not work out. According to the help comment for "packExclude", this only excludes the dependencies of "projC", not projC itself.
Isn't it so that the test dependencies are included in the runtime dependencies?

[xerial]

No. packExclude removes both the dependencies of the specified project and the project itself.
If projC is still included in your depedencies, I think your build configuration includes such dependency somewhere,

Check runtime:libraryDependencies of your project.

Sorry, no, that is not what I see. projC is included, but the libraryDependencies of projC are not (!).
I prepared a mini-demo-project in https://github.com/liebichw/pack-bug-demo - as you see there, projC depends on projB which has a test-dependency on projA - but packing projC still includes projA.

[xerial]

ok.

• At least using 0.11 is a must. 0.10.0 has a bug for multi-module projects.
• And it seems there are no runtime dependencies for projC (-> and projB) in your example. Only test dependency to log4j exists.

I updated by dummy project to use sbt-pack 0.11.
It did not help.
Running
projC;pack
in the sbt console still created an output structure where projA is still included in the lib/ directory, even though projB only has a test dependency on it.

And yes, in my demo project projC has no dependency - adding further libraries and subprojects is not needed to demonstrate the problem I have.
