-----------------------------------
Summary: Faulty usage of URL.getFile() in tests
Key: IMAGING-359
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-359
Project: Commons Imaging
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Marcono1234
The unit tests contain a lot of code which obtains a {{URL}} from
{{Class.getResource(String)}}, and then calls {{URL.getFile()}} to use that as
file path.
The problem is that, despite sounding similar, {{URL.getFile()}} is completely
unrelated to file paths and actually returns an URL encoded value. So what this
means is that you encounter a lot of test failures due to
{{NoSuchFileException}} if you have the project in a directory with space or
non-ASCII characters in its file path.
The solution is to call {{URL.toURI()}} and then either {{new File(URI)}} or
{{Paths.get(URI)}} (respectively {{Path.of(URI)}}).
Maybe a separate helper method shared by all test code is needed for this
because {{toURI}} unfortunately throws a checked {{URISyntaxException}}.
