I am working on a multi module maven project.
My Project Structure is as below -
Parent-Module (Packaging - pom)
BaseFramework (Packaging - jar)
TestProject (Packaging - jar) (Added BaseFramework as a dependency in pom.xml of the project)
TestRunner (Packaging - jar) (Added BaseFramework and TestProject as a dependency in pom.xml of the project)
TestProject has a testNG.xml file which executes the test cases of the specified class. Test cases uses Data providers and path is mentioned as relative path (./src/main/resources/pmRolDetailsWithId.xml)
TestRunner project has a Suite Runner file (lets say SuiteRunner.xml) Which contains the path of testNG.xml from (TestProject).
When executed, the test tries to find the "pmRolDetailsWithId.xml" file in TestRunner Project. Path - /TestRunner/src/main/resources/pmRolDetailsWithId.xml and the file is not found.
Expected it should fetch the file from TestProject . i.e. the path should be /TestProject/src/main/resources/pmRolDetailsWithId.xml
I think the root project is not getting changed when the test control goes form TestRunner Project - TestProject
Please correct me If I am missing something and help me to resolve this issue.
Attaching screenshot of the error.
I found the answer.
I had to change the way I was giving the relative path of the file.
Earlier - Filepath - /src/main/resoruces/pmRolDetailsWithId.xml
and since execution was triggered from a different module, the complete path was
/users/xyz/Parent-Module/TestRunner/src/main/resoruces/pmRolDetailsWithId.xml
Changed - Filepath - ../TestProject/src/main/resoruces/pmRolDetailsWithId.xml
And now the complete path was /users/xyz/Parent-Module/TestRunner/../TestProject/src/main/resoruces/pmRolDetailsWithId.xml
