I am attempting to write a unit test for a Maven 3 Plugin with a dependency on Aether using the Maven Plugin Testing Harness. When executing my tests though the RepositorySystemSession is null and after an extensive search I can not figure out how to inject a session into the unit tests plugin harness.
I am using Maven 3.0.3 core APIs, Maven Plugin Test Harness 2.0 and Aether 1.12. I have tried other various combinations but appear to be missing a critical component somewhere along the line.
The code base for the example can be found here: http://www.sonatype.com/people/2011/01/how-to-use-aether-in-maven-plugins/.
The documentation for the plugin harness can be found here: http://maven.apache.org/plugin-testing/maven-plugin-testing-harness/getting-started/index.html.
My example code can be seen here:
Any ideas on how to get the RepositorySystemSession injected into the container for the unit test?
TIA, Scott ES
The plugin testing harness does not support Aether testing. You have to use the Maven Invoker Plugin as demonstrated in the How To Use Aether in Maven Plugins demo code.
