Depending on how much flexability you have to move files around, I would suggest moving these property and xml files to src/test/resources and removing the testResources block entirely.
-----Original Message----- From: Martin Aspeli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 10:39 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Referencing .properties files in the CLASSPATH in test Hi guys, I have some unit tests that do things like this: InputStream stream = ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("TestDBSetup.properties"); assertNotNull("Could not load TestDBSetup.properties from classpath", stream); Properties dbProperties = new Properties(); dbProperties.load(stream); TestDBSetup.properties lives in src/main/test/resources. In Eclipse, this works fine. However, when I execute mvn test, it doesn't work. TestDBSetup.properties is no copied to target/test-classes (Eclipse does it, though). Even if I put it there manually, the ClassLoader can't find it when I run 'mvn test', presumably because it's not on the CLASSPATH? In a similar vein, I have some xml files in src/main/test/java/com/foo/bar that need to be in the CLASSPATH under target/test-classes/com/foo/bar. My POM is like so: <?xml version="1.0"?><project> <parent> <artifactId>MyParentProject</artifactId> <groupId>com.foo.bar</groupId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.foo.bar</groupId> <artifactId>MyDatabasePackage</artifactId> <name>MyDatabasePackage</name> <version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <url>http://foo.com</url> <build> <finalName>MyDatabasePackage</finalName> <resources> <resource> <directory>${build.sourceDirectory}</directory> <includes> <include>**/*.properties</include> </includes> </resource> </resources> <testResources> <testResource> <directory>${build.sourceDirectory}</directory> <includes> <include>**/*.properties</include> </includes> </testResource> </testResources> </build> <dependencies> <!-- Common resources --> <dependency> <groupId>com.foo.bar</groupId> <artifactId>MyProductCommon</artifactId> <version>1.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> <!-- Database connectivity --> <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <version>3.1.11</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId> <version>3.1rc3</version> </dependency> <!-- Unit testing frameworks --> <dependency> <groupId>junit</groupId> <artifactId>junit</artifactId> <version>3.8.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>dbunit</groupId> <artifactId>dbunit</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <!-- In-memory JNDI implementation; used for testing --> <dependency> <groupId>directory-naming</groupId> <artifactId>naming-core</artifactId> <version>0.8</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>directory-naming</groupId> <artifactId>naming-factory</artifactId> <version>0.8</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>directory-naming</groupId> <artifactId>naming-java</artifactId> <version>0.8</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> Any help greatly appreciated!
