"Could not open ServletContext resource" in test context

Question

I'm trying to create a Unit Test with Spring.

Test class:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = {MyConfig.class})
public class MyTest{
@Test
public void ...
}

Class to load:

@ConfigurationProperties()
@PropertySource("config/myConfig.properties")
@Component
public class MyConfig {}

Exception:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to parse configuration class [de.db.sus.converter.fia.business.algorithm.config.FiaConverterConfig]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/config/myConfig.properties]

I have found resources for web applications and/or xml based configurations, but wasn't apply to transfer them.

If I would start the application with @SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)the properties get loaded. But I can't start the whole application for every Unit test.

I have verified that the file exists in the directory test/resources/config/

It seems that the requested properties can't be found. I would recommend doing this:

If the requested properties file is within your classpath you can fix above with just writing the next line:

@PropertySource("classpath:config/myConfig.properties")

Thanks, this helps. In short: "classpath:" is missing

I configured maven war plugin as below

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.1</version>
    <configuration>
       <warName>${war-file-name}</warName>
        <warSourceDirectory>src/main/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>

        <webResources>
          <resource>
            <!-- this is relative to the pom.xml directory -->
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
          </resource>
        </webResources>
     </configuration>
</plugin>

Configure the following section as relevant to your pom.xml

 <webResources>
          <resource>
            <!-- this is relative to the pom.xml directory -->
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
          </resource>
 </webResources>

I had same error but I had to define my resources file reference with classpath as I was loading file from properties file

spring.rabbitmq.ssl.key-store=classpath:/client-file

You can also load from filesystem - see here
