take liquibase scripts not from resource folder during unit tests-CodePudding

I have a following project structure

bin
  start.sh
db
  liquibase_scripts
    ...
    schema.json
main
  java
    ...
test
  resources
    liquibase_scripts
      ...
      schema.json

So than I build my project, folder db with liquibase scripts added to distributive. In unit tests I use H2 database and want to load schema from db/liquibase. I create bean

    @Bean
    public SpringLiquibase springLiquibase() {
        SpringLiquibase springLiquibase = new SpringLiquibase();
        springLiquibase.setDataSource(dataSource());
        springLiquibase.setChangeLog("classpath:/liquibase/sam.json");
        return springLiquibase;
    }

The problem is that method setChangeLog look at resource folder in test folder. So to solve the problem I copied all liquibase scripts to the test/resources directory. But this is not ok becouse now I have 2 copies of scripts in different folders.

Is there a way to force springLiquibase.setChangeLog find scripts in any folder not only in test/resources?

CodePudding user response：

In Maven build configuration you can define testResources, which may be directories and files. It looks like this:

<build>
    <testResources>
        <testResource>
            <directory>${project.basedir}/db/liquibase_scripts</directory>
        </testResource>
    </testResources>
</build>

With such configuration Maven copies the files into the target/test-classes directory. Thanks to that those files can be used as test resources in the code, but there's no duplication in the project files.

Im using such configuration (Liquibase testResources) in one of my projects. To better reproduce your problem, I've created a separate branch, where you can find the configuration described above - see: this commit diff. All test pass after the change.
