Loading XML files during Maven test run

Question

I have a very simple question about using resource files (e.g. XML, etc.) for Junit tests in the Maven build environment. There were a few related questions, but he only answered my question. I hope someone can give a comprehensive answer to this question

I need clarification on

• If I store resource files in the src / test / resources / file to load this file into my unit test during the maven build, then what should be the path to the file system?

• The same unit tests are also performed at a separate level by developers in their own environments, i.e. without using the goal of maven testing and directly using the startup configuration in Eclipse.

What is the best way to support both startup and file storage scenarios in one place?

Answer 1

You should use Class.getResourceAsStream () so that you are not dependent on file paths.
