Sharing aspecs between src and test module? [message #1850973]

Hi. I am writing Aspects to monitor/intercept test code. I am defining them in the src module but they don't seem to apply unless I define them in the test module instead (where the actual tests are). However, I also want to monitor/intercept test framework code in the src module. (Note that I also tried setting <scope>test</scope> for the aspect dependencies in my pom file.)

I can envision a couple of approaches (aside from my attempt to set scope, above):

1. Define the aspects in the test module and use cflow() for my pointcut definition (which will hopefully cover framework code from src as well)

2. Define an abstract aspect in src and extend it with the proper pointcuts in src and test

Do those ideas make sense? Any other suggestions/ideas? Thanks!

Creating an abstract aspect in the src module and extending it in both src and test can provide a clean and maintainable solution. By defining the common pointcuts and functionalities in the abstract aspect, you can then specialize and customize its behavior in the individual aspects within the src and test modules.
