Release 1.9.0 not usable from Maven Central #119

Closed TobiX closed 4 years ago

TobiX commented 5 years ago

Since 1.9.0 depends on space.jasan:groovy-closure-support, which is not available from Maven Central, one cannot use Ersatz if you only use Maven Central. I opened an issue on that project too (https://github.com/jasanspace/groovy-closure-support/issues/4), but I wonder if anything could be done from the Ersatz side?

I realize I can probably just use the safe artifact:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.stehno.ersatz</groupId>
      <artifactId>ersatz</artifactId>
      <version>1.9.0</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
      <classifier>safe</classifier>
      <exclusions>
      <exclusion>
          <groupId>*</groupId>
          <artifactId>*</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
      </exclusions>
    </dependency>

This looks like a reasonable workaround, so feel free to close this issue if you think that is the way to go.

I would suggest using the "safe" jar work-around. Other than bringing the code from that library into Ersatz, there is not much I can do. I will keep an eye on the external library - if it does not get added to maven-central soon, I will consider other options.

Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Note: Getting a library added to maven-central is a bit of a pain, which is why I think a lot of devs skip it until it becomes an issue.

Has the "safe" jar been working as a work-around?

I am trying to decide whether to promote that as the official solution for those requiring maven-central vs the other option, which is to bring the source for the one class I am using in the library into the ersatz codebase (with attribution of course).

Yeah, that works for me. If you want to make it easier for Maven users, you could publish the safe artefact with a different artifactId without dependencies, so one doesn't have to exclude transitive dependencies when declaring the dependency to the safe JAR...

cjstehno commented 5 years ago

I hate to do it, but I think I will just pull in the few lines of code that I use from that library (with attribution).

I had to bring the source for the two classes in... grr. If only the most-used maven repository were actually friendly to use :-/
