Re: Reactor: tests failing (working dir set to master proj dir not
child proj dir)
I've tried the following and my unit tests still fail because the
working directory seems to be the directory of the master project.
Does anyone have any ideas how I might go about solving this problem? I
want to run each subproject but have the working directory be the
directory of the subproject *not* the directory of the master project.

this isn't a generic method for getting maven properties, but basedir is special

Thanks... that's exactly what I was looking for.. I didn't know how to
fetch maven-defined properties in a java file.

There is no way to reliably set the working directory in Java. To make
your tests reactor-able you must reference resources using the "basedir"
system property that is made available in tests by the junit plugin.
So the general pattern is:
public class MyTest extends TestCase
{
private String basedir;
protected void setUp()
{
basedir = System.getProperty( "basedir" );
}
public void testThatUsesAResourceFromTheFileSystem()
{
File resource = new File( basedir, "src/test/resources/MyTestResource.txt" );
// do you stuff with the file system resource.
}
}
