app real path issue in spock integration test case

I am working on integration test case of an action which generate pdf using jasper. That jasper have a sub-report. To get the path of the sub-report (abc.jasper in web-app/reports/) I am first fetching real path using

request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("")

which gives /home/mkb/workspace/my-project/web-app and then concatenating /reports/abc.jasper to get the sub-report in parent jasper report. This is working fine when running the application (run-app).

But while testing (test-app) above code giving /home/mkb/workspace/my-project/target/work/scriptCache and hence I am getting 

net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRException: Resource not found at : 
/home/mkb/workspace/my-project/target/work/scriptCache/reports/abc.jasper

How can I set or fix this path issue in test cases? (Grails 2.3.9)

Solution

  • Please use ServletContextHolder class static method getRealPath() to get the real path.e.g :-

    ServletContextHolder.servletContext.getRealPath('/')

    This code will give the path of web-app folder of your application.
