this is what we do internally at $dayJob. the gradle java-test-fixtures plugin (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_testing.html#sec:java_test_fixtures https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/java_testing.html#...) creates a dedicated source set and wires up artifact publishing with a `test-fixtures` classifier. consuming a libraries fixtures is as simple as: // pull in some-library implementation("some-library-coordinates") // use its provided fixtures in tests testImplementation(testFixtures("some-library-coordinates")) wish it was more common in the ecosystem, but it seems most folks aren't aware of it.
