How do I make mule persist my “src/test/resources” folder?

Question

I have mule configured as a maven project in eclipse and I reference some resources from the src/test/resources. However it seems like mule deletes these files when it is deployed onto mule server . How can I stop it from doing that?

EDIT:. Even if I were to persist it in src/main/resources.mule copies it to the root folder(classes) and doesnt actually create the src/main/resources folder . I have test cases that look against src/main(or test)/resources. How do I work around that?

Answer 1

Why you want to persist src/test/resources - its against maven convention.

You should put your property files in src/main/resources folder instead. src/main/resources will be added to deployable archive.

Answer 2

src/test/resources is only used during the test phase of a Maven project. If you need resources within your deployment you need to place them in src/main/resources. Anything in src/main/resources should get copied to the classes folder of your Mule deployment archive.

Answer 3

Maybe this question is somewhat similar to your query(Not exactly same) but you might get an idea for the way forward How to can I make maven build add resources to classpath?
