Description Tobias Oberlies CLA 2011-09-02 12:17:35 EDT 
The following configuration has no effect. I would expect that the feature is added to the test runtime.

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
	<artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
	<configuration>
		<dependencies>
			<dependency>
				<type>eclipse-feature</type>
				<artifactId>my-locally-built-feature</artifactId>
				<version>0.0.0</version>
			</dependency>
		</dependencies>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

Although the workaround is fairly easy (append ".feature.group" to the artifactId and change the type to  "p2-installable-unit"), I still consider this a major bug. Explicitly adding features to the test runtime becomes much more important in 0.13.0, because Tycho no longer magically adds the entire target platform to the runtime.

Fixed with 7e5439e. The example in the description now works.
Comment 2 Tobias Oberlies CLA 2011-09-05 07:41:59 EDT 
As of last comment.
