Patere

Tiny library for building path of test resources based on package, class name and optionally test method name. This can help keep test suite organized if it heavily uses some file resources. Developer can just drop resources belonging to the test into directory of certain structure and use Patere in test to build the test resources path.

It uses stack trace of current thread to build the path, therefore it's not suitable for production.

Uses Java 7.

Examples

If stack trace is net.lkrnac.someapp.AppTest.testSomeMethod(), Patere builds following test resource paths:

String testResourcesPath = new Patere().getResourcesPathForMethod(); 
//testResourcesPath == "src/test/resources/net.lkrnac.someapp/AppTest/testSomeMethod/"

testResourcesPath = new Patere(false).getResourcesPathForMethod(); 
//testResourcesPath == "src/test/resources/net/lkrnac/someapp/AppTest/testSomeMethod/"

testResourcesPath = new Patere().getResourcesPathForClass(this.getClass.getName()); 
//testResourcesPath == "src/test/resources/net.lkrnac.someapp/AppTest/"

testResourcesPath = new Patere(false).getResourcesPathForClass(this.getClass.getName()); 
//testResourcesPath == "src/test/resources/net/lkrnac/someapp/AppTest/"

testResourcesPath = new Patere("test").getResourcesPathForClass(this.getClass.getName()); 
//testResourcesPath == "test/net/lkrnac/someapp/AppTest/"
