Unit test using the Reflections google library fails only when executed by Maven

Question

I am using the Google Reflections library for querying certain resources in the classpath. Those resources are located in the same location than the classes in my project.

Answer 1

I just encountered the same problem with Reflections library (version 0.9.11), only when executing unit tests from Maven builds. The link provided in the accepted answer pointed me in the right direction.

A simple POM file change to my Surefire plugin fixed this:

            
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-surefire-plugin
            2.21.0
            
                false
            
        
        
            maven-failsafe-plugin
            2.21.0
            
                false
            
            
                
                    
                        integration-test
                        verify
                    
                
            
        

The config parameter defaults to 'true'. Forcing it to 'false' seems to resolve the classloader problem in my unit tests.
