[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-635?page=comments#action_43306 ]
Brett Porter commented on MNG-635: ---------------------------------- the test classpath is under target/test-classes, or a goal can add additional directories to it, but the point I wanted to make here is that it is not really the usual way to access WEB-INF. Under a servlet container, you need to use getServletContext().getResource instead of getClass().getResource (which looks under WEB-INF/classes), so I think it is a good idea to behave similarly here. Actually, I don't understand how httpunit constructs a whole context with just the web.xml file - shouldn't it need the base directory of the whole webapp? While I usually recommend using classpath resources instead of File's so that it runs identically in an IDE, it may be better to pass the location of the webapp in to the test using a system property (http://maven.apache.org/maven2/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html). Please let me know if I can close this. > Webapp Resources Not Available to Unit Tests > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-635 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-635 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: maven-plugins > Versions: 2.0-beta-1 > Environment: Maven version: 2.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT > Windows XP > java version "1.5.0_02" > Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09) > Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_02-b09, mixed mode, sharing) > Reporter: Rod Coffin > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: MNG-635.txt > > > Unit tests that depend on resources in the webapp directory fail because > those resources are not available during the test phase.
