Test classes end up in the packaged JAR

[LorenzoBettini]

Following https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.md#240 I can successfully run plain JUnit tests in an eclipse-plugin project. As instructed there, I marked the folder containing tests as test source folder. However, its contents end up in the JAR because they are compiled both in target/classes (together with the main code) and in target/test-classes (where they should be). Do I have to specify some additional configuration to avoid that?

I'm using Tycho 2.7.5.

I'm using Tycho 2.7.5.

please try Tycho 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT where test handling was improved, if the problem is fixed there.

If not it would be good to provide an integration-test to demonstrate the issue (e.g using the demo project as a basis:
https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/tree/master/demo/testing/surefire/with-source-folder

[LorenzoBettini]

I'll first try the demo project, but what I can immediately spot as a difference is that in https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/blob/master/demo/testing/surefire/with-source-folder/build.properties#L2 the src_test folder is not mentioned. Maybe that's what makes it work? In my project I have all the source folders (including the test ones) in build.properties

If you put things in build.properties they are part of the "binary build" and thus included in the final jar.

That was it! THANKS!
Sorry for the noise!
I seem to recall that PDE complains if a source folder is not in the build.properties (so I always add that); but it looks like it doesn't if it's a test source folder.

[laeubi]

Jes PDE is a bit strange in this regards, the whole build.properties story is actually a bit like maven-resource folder definition.

[LorenzoBettini]

Yes. In particular. It wants at least a source folder, but that's expected if you have binary output.
It doesn't complain about missing test source folders though, so I'm fine :)
Thanks again!
