I am refactoring a multimodule project that depends on one module -- shared-resources -- for both main and test resources.
parent
|_ shared-resources
|_ child
Currently, a module includes the shared-resources by using the maven-resource-plugin.
current child/pom.xml:
...
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>../shared-resources/src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
<testResources>
<testResource>
<directory>../shared-resources/src/test/resources</directory>
</testResource>
</testResources>
...
I would like to restructure the dependencies so that they are included via a jar and test-jar packaging of the shared-resources module, as some related questions (e.g. "Specify common resources in a multi-module maven project" and "Share test resources between maven projects") suggest.
new shared-resources/pom.xml:
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
...
new child/pom.xml:
...
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>shared-resources</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>shared-resources</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
<type>test-jar</type>
</dependency>
...
When I run tests for child however, tests for lack of the resources.
I've run my build in a variety of ways:
maven clean test --projects child --also-make
maven clean install -DskipTests && mvn test --projects child
maven clean verify --projects child --also-make
My authoritative test has been mvn clean install -DskipTests -pl :child -am && mvn test -pl :child -Dtest='PropertiesAccessTest' where properties access test does:
public class PropertiesAccessTest {
@Test
public void resourceAccessible() throws URISyntaxException, IOException {
propertyExists(
"abcdef=12345",
"test.properties"
);
}
private void propertyExists(String string, String fileName) throws IOException, URISyntaxException {
URL url = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(fileName);
assertNotNull(url);
assertTrue("file should exist", new File(url.getFile()).exists());
assertTrue("file should contain property", Files.readAllLines(Paths.get(url.toURI()))
.stream().anyMatch(l -> l.contains(string)));
}
}
There is a corresponding test.properties in shared-resources/src/test/resources/ (which should be included as I understand the above config), but instead the test always fails with "file should exist."
I can verify that my local .m2 repository contains the test jar containing test resources as expected.
What am I doing wrong here?
