Running unit tests results in repository lookup loop

[mttkay]

When trying to run the unit tests using mvn, the tests for shadows-core will result in an infinite lookup loop for a snapshot JAR:

It just repeats indefinitely from here on.

Any ideas? I've never seen that happening before with any Maven setup or project I've used, so I suspect it's related to RL somehow.

Does it get stuck in a loop if you build via scripts/install-robolectric.sh?

[mttkay]

Ah right--I tried that too but it fails with a different error:

This is the proprietary Maps API yes? Should I deploy this manually to my local Maven cache first?

[erd]

Yes. If you run scripts/install-dependencies.sh it will mavenize all the required libraries from the SDK.

We have a bit of a non-standard Maven setup, so you'll need to run install-dependencies.rb before building the code, and the first time you build everything, you need to run install-robolectric.sh. After that you can get away with building / installing only the pieces that you need. We've tried to document the process in the README. Let me know if there are things that could be improved.
