> As part of MINIFI-275, unit test cases were introduced that rely on YAML configuration input. Currently, the YAML is defined as string constants in the test cases (see [1]).
> During peer review of MINIFI-275, it was suggested by [~phrocker] to move the YAML inputs to resource files and load them for the test. This ticket captures that improvement which will cleanup the unit test code by making the YAML input easier to locate and maintain.
> As part of this, we need a clean way to set resource file locations in CMAKE so that they are easily available in ctest test cases. As the `test` target which invokes ctest is a builtin/standard CMAKE generated target, it is more limited in its configurability for items such as command line arguments [2] and environment variables (SET (CTEST_ENVIRONMENT ...) apparently does not work in CMakeLists.txt files, only when CMake is invoked via the CLI). This needs some more experimenting / digging into with our specific version of CMAKE before we decide on an approach for implementation.
