Question about JWebUnit / maven

[Dave Alvarado]

Hi,

I'm using Maven 1.1 with JWebUnit 1.4. I'm new to Maven, but how do I set the classpath for the test:compile goal? I have included the JWebUnit dependency in my project.xml file, like so

<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.jwebunit</groupId>
<artifactId>jwebunit-htmlunit-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
</dependency>

but when I go to run my maven unit test, I get the below compilation errors, all related to jwebunit (or lack thereof). I can see the JAR files that are downloaded. How do I tell maven about them? - Dave

maven -Dtestcase=test.AddToMailingListTest test:single

The dependency tag can take a "scope" child tag where you can specify it is needed for test. http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html is a link for maven dependency scopes, but yours would look like this:

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sourceforge.jwebunit</groupId>
    <artifactId>jwebunit-htmlunit-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.4</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

THanks for your reply but maybe the version of Maven I'm using (1.1) doesn't support scope. Below is the error I got. Do you know a way to set the classpath maven uses?

__ __
| \/ |__ _Apache__ ___
| |\/| / _` \ V / -_) ' \ ~ intelligent projects ~
|_| |_\__,_|\_/\___|_||_| v. 1.1

Ah sorry. I actually started using maven with version 2, so I'm not too sure on this one.
