Cannot preload sources from directory outside project

[misinco]

In our configuration, our angular sources are stored in a directory outside the project directory that I'm trying to test.

Example:
/prj1
- pom.xml
- src/main/javascript
- src/test/javascript
/angular
- angular.js
- other angular files

So in the prj1 pom.xml file, I have tried several different maven properties to preload the angular sources:


${basedir}/../angular/angular.js


Pretty much any maven property I try to use in order to get a directory within prj1 and navigate to a relative path, translates in the ManualSpecRunner.html file to:

src="/../angular/angular.js"

Given the path starts with /, the location is incorrect. Is there a way to reference/load sources in directories outside the project that is under test?

The bug still seems to exist
<source>${project.basedir}/../externalresources/src/main/resources/com/jquery/js/jquery-3.4.1.min.js</source>
is converted to
<script type="application/javascript" src="/../externalresources/src/main/resources/com/jquery/js/jquery-3.4.1.min.js"></script>

I've found a solution:

<additionalContexts>
    <context>
        <contextRoot>externalresources</contextRoot>
        <directory>${project.basedir}/../externalresources/src/main/resources/</directory>
    </context>
</additionalContexts>
<preloadSources>
    <source>externalresources/com/jquery/js/jquery-3.4.1.min.js</source>
</preloadSources>
