The parent directory of "foo/bar" should be the directory in which
"foo" resides. However the
File("src/test-resources").getAbsoluteFile().getParentFile().getAbsolutePath()
expression first concatenates "src/test-resources" with its parent and
then finds the parent of "test-resources". Which is what you see: The
parent of "test-resources", not "src/test-resources".
The test does not expect new File("foo") to contain "dir/foo". So the
behaviour is as expected but different.
