Short version:
Does mvn compile and mvn verify compile the code in the same way?
Problem:
I have a multimodule project. And using Maven v3.6.
POM looks like this:
<modules>
<module>common</module>
<module>server</module>
<module>plugins</module>
</modules>
A class in server module got modified where a new method got added. A class in plugins module is calling that method.
Build is successful with following maven commands:
mvn clean
mvn compile
mvn -DskipTests verify
but compilation of plugin module fails when we run:
mvn clean
mvn -DskipTests verify
with an error that complains about not finding new method in server module class:
error: cannot find symbol
So, why is this difference in behaviour. As per this documentation verify should first call compile. So effectively the same thing as first version of commands.
Notes:
- Also fails
mvn -DskipTests compile verify - Successfully builds :
mvn -DskipTests install
I do not want to resort to mvn install as advice against over here
