Description

In a multimodule build, if a module depends on another module, failsafe reports error "Could not resolve dependencies"

I have created [a self-extracting python script, with a sample project encoded in the script to reproduce the issue. After downloading the script (sss.py), the project can be populated as follows:

$ python3 sss.py
Extract project to /var/folders/c9/42x7_bq13kx5ms99j0w7_k3h0000gn/T/tmpbia95v4y ? ([Y/n]):
Project extracted successfully!

Then one should be able to reproduce the issue as follows:

$ cd /var/folders/c9/42x7_bq13kx5ms99j0w7_k3h0000gn/T/tmpbia95v4y

$ rm -rf ~/.m2/repository/org/test/dependency

$ mvn failsafe:integration-test
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
...
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project app: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.test:app:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.test:dependency:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]
...

To work around the error, the dependency has to be installed to the local repo, as shown below:

$ mvn --pl dependency install

$ mvn failsafe:integration-test
