Description

tests.rb includes code that determines its behaviour according to the Scala version in use. The Scalatest jar dependency is hard-wired to an old version.

So suppose I want to use scalatest_2.10-1.9.2.jar, I can't.

A simple work-around in tests.rb around line 92 would be to expand it to

VERSION = case
when Buildr::Scala.version?(2.7)
'1.3'
when Buildr::Scala.version?(2.9)
'1.8'
else
'1.9.2'
end

This would help me right now, but simply postpones the problem.

A better solution might be to detect scalatest.jar on the dependencies for test and not use a default unless scalatest was missing.
