RE: [xwiki-dev] [Build] About to move tests

This is pre-requisite before I can make any modification to the directory structure. Actually what should be done is remove the dependency on paths. ATM, I've noticed that several tests are using path to find test resources. I believe this is not right and should be improved by using the classpath to locate the test resources. In other words, instead of doing something like: public static final String hibpath = "hibernate-test.cfg.xml"; XWikiHibernateStore hibstore = new XWikiHibernateStore(hibpath); We should be doing: public static final String hibLocation = "/hibernate-test.cfg.xml"; URL hibURL = getClass().getResource(hibLocation); XWikiHibernateStore hibstore = new XWikiHibernateStore(hibURL); And we add src/test/resources to the JUnit execution CP. What's wrong with paths? - they are system dependent - they can be absolute or relative and the result will depend from where you execute the code. Thus they are brittle WDYT? I don't know the code well so I would need your help in fleshing out the places where paths are used. I've noticed one in AllTests.java (see attached "patch" - I've also added some other comments). Once we don't rely any more on paths then we'll be able to move /test in src/test/resources. Thanks for your help -Vincent
