I have a dependency com.somecompany.somelib in my maven module which is required.
I have classes in my source code which consume this dependency.
If I remove this dependency from my classpath in intellij, I see that my build for module fails in intellij (expected).
However this is not the case when I do mvn clean install on this module via the command line after removing the dependency from pom.xml. The build still succeeds where it should fail! (not expected)
I have checked with the --debug option enabled and I do not see the dependency being added. I see the class files being compiled and even the .class files in the resultant .jar file.
There is no occurrence of this dependency name in the --debug log.
I have spent a full day searching and reading but could not find any resolution/possible causes.
Below is some additional info if it helps.
