I asked a question here that I think I may have found the root of. I have a Spring Boot app using a datasource, net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver, that is supposed to be included transitively by Spring Boot 2.0.2 with spring-boot-starter-jpa. However, when I run
jar tf my.jar | grep jtds
the driver class isn't found (we don't have a maven executable on the server to list the classpath). Everything I do to inspect the classpath reflects that the jar isn't there.
I've done this in 2 scenarios: 1) When I didn't explicitly add the jar to my pom, I got the error reported in my previous post. 2) When I do add it explicitly to the pom, I get this error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load driver class: net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver
Can someone tell me what's going on?? I am confounded as to why this class can't be found and loaded.
Please mind, that in the Spring Boot Parent POM the jtds dependency is only included in test scope.
If you want to use classes of this dependency also in your production code, please change the Maven scope to compile.
Ok, the problem was solved by adding the dependency with a runtime scope.
In child pom where jar is packaged, you should have
spring-boot-maven-plugin. and dependency as below:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.jtds</groupId>
<artifactId>jtds</artifactId>
</dependency>
In parent pom :
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.jtds</groupId>
<artifactId>jtds</artifactId>
<version>${jtds.version}</version>
</dependency>
I'm having trouble correctly importing a library into a project that I'm running. I have added the library as a dependency in the .pom, refreshed the pom, run mvn clean install, and I have set auto-import up so that the project gets updated correctly, but the project does not get added as an External Library, and I can't use it in my project. I get no errors. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the relevant part of my pom
..properties
<crowd.version>2.5.0</crowd.version>
.. end properties
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.atlassian.crowd</groupId>
<artifactId>crowd-integration-springsecurity</artifactId>
<version>${crowd.version}</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
Here is the question I was following to debug my error:
Import Maven dependencies in IntelliJ IDEA
I think you missed the point of dependency management; read more in official docs. This is a feature that you can centralize common dependency information that is then shared been different projects. All by itself, this definioition will not import the dependency.
What you probably want is just a plain dependency: drop the dependencyManagement tags, and move you dependency into the correct block in the pom.
IntelliJ cannot find the classes in a Maven module, even if I add the jar dependency into pom.xml.
I created a Maven module: test-intellij . And then I created a class TestApp and made it implements ApplicationContextAware as below:
public class TestApp implements ApplicationContextAware{
}
IntelliJ told me: "can not find class ApplicationContextAware".
So I pressed "alt + enter", then from the popup tips I chose "Add maven dependency".
After this operation, the dependency below was added into pom.xml successfully:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>3.1.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
But when I try to import the ApplicationContextAware class , IntelliJ still cannot find the ApplicationContextAware class to import.
Could anybody help me to solve this issue?
Try to Reimport the Maven project using the corresponding button in IntelliJ IDEA Maven Projects tool window. Wait until the dependency is downloaded and indexing is complete. File | Invalidate Caches may also help.
Also check that you are using the latest IDEA version (12.0.2 at the moment). You should be able to browse inside the downloaded dependency jar in the Project View, External Libraries node.
I am getting a:
he Cause java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Msg:net/spy/memcached/MemcachedClient
When executing jetty:run -e in eclipse. Why isn't this dependency being added into the classpath?
Which classpath do you expect it to be added to? If something in your project is trying to load it, ensure you have a project dependency that has that class in it. It looks like it comes from ServiceMix. If you've added something to Jetty itself to make it require that class, then add the dependency to the jetty plugin.
Your code is missing a runtime dependency. I searched Maven Central for the missing class
http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|fc%3A%22net.spy.memcached.MemcachedClient%22
Try adding the following to your POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.servicemix.bundles</groupId>
<artifactId>org.apache.servicemix.bundles.spymemcached</artifactId>
<version>2.5_2</version>
<packaging>bundle</packaging>
</dependency>
The dependency had a provided scope. Change this.
I am trying to build a simple Java project with Maven. In my pom-file I declare JUnit 4.8.2 as the only dependency. Still Maven insists on using JUnit version 3.8.1. How do I fix it?
The problem manifests itself in a compilation failure: "package org.junit does not exist". This is because of the import statement in my source code. The correct package name in JUnit 4.* is org.junit.* while in version 3.* it is junit.framework.*
I think I have found documentation on the root of the problem on http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/junit.html but the advice there seems to be meant for Maven experts. I did not understand what to do.
Just to have an answer with the complete solution to help the visitors:
All you need to do is add the junit dependency to pom.xml. Don't forget the <scope>test</scope>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.11</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
#Dennis Roberts: You were absolutely right: My test class was located in src/main/java. Also the value of the "scope" element in the POM for JUnit was "test", although that is how it is supposed to be. The problem was that I had been sloppy when creating the test class in Eclipse, resulting in it being created in src/main/java insted of src/test/java. This became easier to see in Eclipse's Project Explorer view after running "mvn eclipse:eclipse", but your comment was what made me see it first. Thanks.
my problem was a line inside my pom.xml i had the line <sourceDirectory>${basedir}/src</sourceDirectory> removing this line made maven use regular structure folders which solves my issue
removing the scope tag in pom.xml for junit worked..
I had the same problem. All i did was - From the pom.xml file i deleted the dependency for junit 3.8 and added a new dependency for junit 4.8. Then i did maven clean and maven install. It did the trick. To verify , after maven install i went project->properties-build path->maven dependencies and saw that now the junit 3.8 jar is gone !, instead junit 4.8 jar is listed. cool!!. Now my test runs like a charm.. Hope this helps somehow..
Add this dependency to your pom.xml file:
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/junit/junit-dep/4.8.2
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/junit/junit-dep -->
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-dep</artifactId>
<version>4.8.2</version>
</dependency>
I had my files at the correct places, and just removing <scope>test</scope> from the JUnit dependency entry solved the problem (I am using JUnit 4.12). I believe that with the test scope the dependency was just being ignored during the compilation phase. Now everything is working even when I call mvn test.
My case was a simple oversight.
I put the JUnit dependency declaration inside <dependencies> under the <dependencyManagement/> node instead of <project/> in the POM file. Correct way is:
<project>
<!-- Other elements -->
<dependencies>
<!-- Other dependencies-->
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>4.11</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<project>
I had a quite similar problem in a "test-utils" project (adding features, rules and assertions to JUnit) child of a parent project injecting dependencies.
The class depending on the org.junit.rules package was in src/main/java.
So I added a dependency on junit without test scope and it solved the problem :
pom.xml of the test-util project :
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
</dependency>
pom.xml of the parent project :
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
How did you declare the version?
<version>4.8.2</version>
Be aware of the meaning from this declaration explained here (see NOTES):
When declaring a "normal" version such as 3.8.2 for Junit, internally this is represented as "allow anything, but prefer 3.8.2." This means that when a conflict is detected, Maven is allowed to use the conflict algorithms to choose the best version. If you specify [3.8.2], it means that only 3.8.2 will be used and nothing else.
To force using the version 4.8.2 try
<version>[4.8.2]</version>
As you do not have any other dependencies in your project there shouldn't be any conflicts that cause your problem. The first declaration should work for you if you are able to get this version from a repository. Do you inherit dependencies from a parent pom?
Me too had the same problem as shown below.
To resolve the issue, below lines are added to dependencies section in the app level build.gradle.
compile 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
Gradle build then reported following warning.
Warning:Conflict with dependency 'com.android.support:support-annotations'.
Resolved versions for app (25.1.0) and test app (23.1.1) differ.
See http://g.co/androidstudio/app-test-app-conflict for details.
To solve this warning, following section is added to the app level build.gradle.
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.1'
}
}
I had a similar problem of Eclipse compiling my code just fine but Maven failed when compiling the tests every time despite the fact JUnit was in my list of dependencies and the tests were in /src/test/java/.
In my case, I had the wrong version of JUnit in my list of dependencies. I wrote JUnit4 tests (with annotations) but had JUnit 3.8.x as my dependency. Between version 3.8.x and 4 of JUnit they changed the package name from junit.framework to org.junit which is why Maven still breaks compiling using a JUnit jar.
I'm still not entirely sure why Eclipse successfully compiled. It must have its own copy of JUnit4 somewhere in the classpath. Hope this alternative solution is useful to people. I reached this solution after following Arthur's link above.
I also ran into this issue - I was trying to pull in an object from a source and it was working in the test code but not the src code. To further test, I copied a block of code from the test and dropped it into the src code, then immediately removed the JUnit lines so I just had how the test was pulling in the object. Then suddenly my code wouldn't compile.
The issue was that when I dropped the code in, Eclipse helpfully resolved all the classes so I had JUnit calls coming from my src code, which was not proper. I should have noticed the warnings at the top about unused imports, but I neglected to see them.
Once I removed the unused JUnit imports in my src file, it all worked beautifully.
Find the one solution for this error if you have code in src/main/java Utils
<dependency>
<groupId>org.assertj</groupId>
<artifactId>assertj-core</artifactId>
<version>3.9.1</version>
</dependency>
Changing the junit version fixed this for me. Seems like version 3.8.1 didn't work in my case. Issue fixed upon changing it to 4.12
I met this problem, this is how I soloved it:
Context:
SpringBoot application
Use maven to manage multiple modules
Add junit's maven dependency in root POM's dependencyManagement(rather than dependencies, their differences can be found here)
Intend to test class or folder inside one of the root module's child module
PS: If your situation does not match the context above, this solution may not solve your problem.
Steps
right click at the class or folder you want to test:
Choose More Run/Debug -> Modify Run Configuration
Change the module option to the one you want to test from root module
By default , maven looks at these folders for java and test classes respectively -
src/main/java and src/test/java
When the src is specified with the test classes under source and the scope for junit dependency in pom.xml is mentioned as test - org.unit will not be found by maven.
