We have over 800 MB of test case resource files that are Excel format. Every time I run the mvn clean test command, they get re-copied to the target directory, and this takes about 5 minutes on my machine.
Is there a way to setup Maven (ideally via our pom.xml) so that it will NOT copy our testResources to the target directory, instead using them directly from src/test/resources?
The easiest is to put your large test resources in a separate module which is built once and then imported as a dependency using the
testscope.In this case you must add the resources to the
src/main/resourcesinstead ofsrc/test/resourcesin order to be able to load them.
