Description ulfzibis 2014-08-11 00:49:44 UTC

[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.0_45 ]

STEPS:
   1) In project B have classes in Test Packages, depending on classes in
project A Test Packages.
   2) In Test Libraries of project B add reference to build/test/classes/ of
project A

ACTUAL:
   Error: cannot find symbol of ...
   But: Run File processes normal.

EXPECTED:
   Classes should compile and run normally, even when I set the reference to
test/ of project A.

Can you please share the project? 
I've tried to setup two projects according to your description but it works fine for me.

Comment 4 ulfzibis 2014-08-14 15:47:13 UTC

BTW: Which of the 2 possibilities would you value as "correct" to configure a reference to Test Packages of project A in Test Packages of project B?
IMO, the most interesting solution would be just to set a reference to project A in Test Packages of project B, but this didn't work.

Hi,

is it possible to have this as a hotfix for NB 8.0.2 ?

Comment 7 ulfzibis 2015-08-06 12:55:44 UTC

Verified with Build 201508011000.
Works fine with
   file.reference.test-classes=${project.A}/test
but not
   file.reference.test-classes=${project.A}/build/test/classes
because after Clean&Build I get a reference conflict as /build/test/classes becomes deleted.
