Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-19050: ----------------------------------------- There was always a desire for some public test artifacts. Re-using this module does not seems to be the right way though, but we should do a proper KIP, and have a prober module for it, if we really want to do this (what is a larger/heavy lift...) I agree that publishing and empty jar does not make sense, and we should fix the build script to exclude this artifact if possible. We should mark this ticket as blocker for 4.0.1 and 4.1.0 releases to fix it on time. Note, that the actually tests (including `EmbeddedKafkaCluster`) should be published as "test" jar, cf [kafka-streams-integration-tests-4.0.0-test.jar|https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/kafka/kafka-streams-integration-tests/4.0.0/kafka-streams-integration-tests-4.0.0-test.jar] – so what you what is already there. > kafka-streams-integration-tests artifact is empty > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-19050 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19050 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build, streams > Affects Versions: 4.0.0 > Reporter: Utku Aydin > Priority: Major > > Not sure whether this was intended or not but currently the release process > releases an artifact with an empty jar containing only the manifest for the > kafka-streams-integration-tests module. Since these tests are now in their > own module, I think it's an opportunity to make them available to end-users > as well. Personally, I would like to use EmbeddedKafkaCluster from > org.apache.kafka.streams.integration.utils for my own integration tests since > io.github.embeddedkafka is no longer being maintained. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
