"path must exist" for Cucumber + Spring Boot

Question

I made a Spring Boot 2 application with one endpoint to execute Cucumber test for 5.7.0 version

@PostMapping("/integration")
public Object runCucumber(@RequestBody List<String> request) {
    try {

        String pathDirectory = "src/main/resources/" + request.get(0);


        String response = String.valueOf(Main.run(new String[]{"--glue", //Cucumber type (--glue)
                        "pmc/aop/integration", // the package which contains the glue classes
                        pathDirectory} //Step package
                , Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()));

        return ResponseEntity.ok(request);

    } catch (HttpClientErrorException ex) {

        log.error(ex.getLocalizedMessage());

        return ResponseEntity.status(ex.getStatusCode()).body(ex.getStatusText());

    } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) {

        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST).body(ex.getLocalizedMessage());

    }
}

The request used

[
"features/local/notify.feature"
]

As you can see I'd like to execute the notify.feature inside of local folder, inside of features folder, inside of resources folder

this is the configuration

@SpringBootTest
@AutoConfigureMockMvc
@CucumberContextConfiguration
@CucumberOptions(features="src/main/resources")
public class CucumberConfiguration {
}

Everything is going good, locally but on my server I got

path must exist: /app/src/main/resources/features/local/heal.feature

What's wrong?

Aren't those directories supposed to be named like `features.local` instead of `f.local` etc? — Minar Mahmud, Jun 03 '20 at 16:39
@MinarMahmud I know the extension file is ``.feature``. I guess the directory name doesn't matter — TuGordoBello, Jun 03 '20 at 18:32
`path must exist: /app/src/main/resources/features/local/heal.feature`. it is searching in a path where directory name is `feature` but not `f`. You might consider changing that and see what happens — Minar Mahmud, Jun 03 '20 at 18:34
@MinarMahmud sorry for misunderstand. My IDE has flatten packages. I change the image — TuGordoBello, Jun 03 '20 at 19:00

When your application is deployed the src/main/resources/ directory does not exist. You can verify this by inspecting the contents of the jar or war file you've created.

Instead, try locating the feature on the class path. E.g. classpath:com/example/app/my.feature.

I would expect that to happen. – M.P. Korstanje Jun 03 '20 at 21:44

you suggest to move the resource content inside ``pmc.aop.integration`` where is the classpath but its gong to mess up the project structure – TuGordoBello Jun 04 '20 at 19:34
Inspect the contents of the jar file. – M.P. Korstanje Jun 04 '20 at 20:00

another way to change the classpath? – TuGordoBello Jun 04 '20 at 21:41
Please look at the contents of the jar file. Resources in `src/main/resources` are on the classpath. – M.P. Korstanje Jun 04 '20 at 21:52
My extraction programms (the unarchive and Bettezip) can't extract the content from app.jar – TuGordoBello Jun 05 '20 at 15:39
The file format is zip, rename the file to `.zip` or use your java utils. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/unpack.html – M.P. Korstanje Jun 05 '20 at 21:32

I couldn't extract ``app.jar`` but I could extract ``app.jar.original`` however I can see in the same level ``application.yml`` file, ``features`` folder and ``pmc`` – TuGordoBello Jun 06 '20 at 00:49

The problems is consume the feature using classpath. Other user told we need to comsume it as a ``Imputstream`` however Main.Run does not recieve ``imputstream`` – TuGordoBello Jun 09 '20 at 18:27
