Get a list of maven dependencies excluding test dependencies

I would like to get a list of all dependencies for my maven project but without the test dependencies using Maven 3.6.2.

To list all of the dependencies I've used dependency:tree or dependency:list successfully.

I've then tried adding -DincludeScope=compile and -DexcludeScope=test as arguments. With these added I still get test dependencies included.

Example command

mvn -f example/location/pom.xml dependency:tree -DincludeScope=compile -DexcludeScope=test

Output

...
...
...
 \- junit:junit:jar:4.12:test
    \- org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:jar:1.3:test

Parent dependency is test and child is compile

I've also found another issue. If a parent dependency is test then I don't want to see any of its dependencies.

...
|  +- com.google.cloud:google-cloud-core-grpc:jar:1.52.0:test
|  |  +- com.google.auth:google-auth-library-credentials:jar:0.11.0:compile

How do I remove all test dependencies and their children?

Solution

  • includeScope and excludeScope are not a parameters of dependency:tree Mojo so they will have no effect. Depending on your maven-plugin-dependency version scope parameter might work (see MSHARED-4):

    mvn dependency:tree -Dscope=compile
