This will be relative to the `nifi_testharness_nifi_home` directory, from
which the test cases are executed. Since the test case should clear up that
directory automatically, I think this should be fine.
> Implement NiFi test harness

> Key: NIFI-5318
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5318
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Peter Horvath
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, it is not really possible to automatically test the behaviour of a
> specific NiFi flow and make unit test type asserts if it works as expected.
> For example, if the expected behaviour of a NiFi flow is that a file placed
> to a specific directory will trigger some operation after which some output
> file will appear at another directory, once currently can only do one thing:
> test the NiFi flow manually.
> Manual testing is especially hard to manage if a NiFi flow is being actively
> developed: any change to a complex, existing NiFi flow might require a lot of
> manual testing just to ensure there are no regressions introduced.
> Some kind of Java API that allows managing a NiFi instance and manipulating
> flow deployments like for example, [Codehaus
> Cargo|]https://codehaus-cargo.github.io/] would be of great help.
