[FIXED] Add provided dependency to test classpath using Gradle

Issue

I've provided dependency scope configured like below. My problem is, the provided dependencies are not visible during runtime in tests. How can I configure this to keep the dependencies provided but available on the test classpath?

apply plugin: 'java'

configurations {
    provided
}

sourceSets {
    main {
        compileClasspath += configurations.provided
    }
}

dependencies {
    provided 'com.google.guava:guava:18.0'
    provided 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.3.2'

    // Tests
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
    testCompile 'org.assertj:assertj-core:1.7.0'

    // Additional test compile dependencies
    testCompile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.2'
}

One solution is to add the dependency like the joda-time library with testCompile scope, but I don't want to duplicate any entries. I'm sure it can be achieved with proper configuration.

Solution

Fixed with one additional line in configurations. Don't know if it's the best and a proper solution but works as intended.

configurations {
    provided
    testCompile.extendsFrom(provided)
}
