Why Can't I access src/test/resources in Junit test run with Maven?
I am having a problems running the following code:
configService.setMainConfig("src/test/resources/MainConfig.xml");
From within a Junit @Before method.
Is this the way Maven builds out its target folder?
Answer
Access MainConfig.xml directly. The src/test/resources directory contents are placed in the root of your CLASSPATH.
More precisely: contents of src/test/resources are copied into target/test-classes, so if you have the following project structure:
.
└── src
└── test
├── java
│ └── foo
│ └── C.java
└── resources
├── a.xml
└── foo
└── b.xml
It will result with the following test CLASSPATH contents:
/foo/C.class/a.xml/foo/b.xml
To actually access the files from Java source, use
getClass().getResource("/MainConfig.xml").getFile().
