junit 4.12 and compilation issues

[Wouter1]

My first problem is that this package refers maven 4.9and 4.11

4.9:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-dep</artifactId>
            <version>[4.9,)</version>
        </dependency>

I don't see a direct link to 4.11 but I get compilation errors with my own code where maven tells me that there is version conflict with junit 4.12 that I use

FAIK 4.12 is the latest. Can this library be updated?

I tried to fix this myself but the library does not even build. When I try to do mvn install I immediately get a prompt for my PGP password. I have no clue why, your pom does not contain any ref to GPG but probably some parent does... Anyway PGP stuff on my machine is strictly prohibited for access. So the build fails there.

Can these issues be fixed? I'd like

• that system-library uses the latest junit version (4.12 at this moment)
• That the library builds (mvn install) without prompting for any passwords.

We have a similar issue. The solution for us is to always add a

          <exclusion>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit-dep</artifactId>
          </exclusion>
        </exclusions>

around the dependency lines that pull in system-rules. An upgrade (or at least a shift to the new artifactId) would make things easier.

My IntelliJ can also not resolve dependencies when using system-rules: Could not find artifact junit:junit-dep:pom:4.9.1-SNAPSHOT

Why does <version>[4.9,)</version> resolve to a SNAPSHOT which is not available in mvn central?

I solved this issue by forcing a specific junit version, overriding the default provided with junit-dep.

For gradle, I solved the issue by replacing testCompile 'com.github.stefanbirkner:system-rules:1.19.0' with testCompile ('com.github.stefanbirkner:system-rules:1.19.0') { exclude group:"junit" , module:"junit-dep" }
