[m2] How do I get ${basedir} information in junit tests?

[Mick Knutson <mi...@gmail.com>]

I want to convert:

          fileString = FileUtils.getStringFromFile(

"C:\\viewstore\\esp_lynx_dap\\esp\\dap\\utilities\\common\\common-jar\\src\\test\\resources\\test.txt");


into something like:

          fileString = FileUtils.getStringFromFile(
                  "${basedir}\\src\\test\\resources\\test.txt");

inside my junit test. Is there a way to do this?

Realistically, you shouldn't be doing either of those. Instead, you
should use the getResourceAsStream() method of your ClassLoader etc.
Since the file is in the src/test/resources, it will be copied to your
target/test-classes directory and your code can access it directly
from there.

We've talked about this on this list several times, so check the
archive, or post back if you can't find it or its not working.
