Getting test file resource with maven - maven

Question

I'm trying to get a json file resource in order to use it to build a java object. When I try to run my code in the Intellij I don't have any problem, but when I run with mvn test I get the follow error.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.18.1:test (default-test) on project cadastur-backend-business: Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.18.1:test failed: There was an error in the forked process

And above has the code where I'm trying to read the file and convert the json to java object.
package br.gov.mtur.cadastur.builder;
import br.gov.mtur.cadastur.vo.*;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import java.io.IOException;
public class GuiaVOBuilder {
private GuiaVO guia;
public GuiaVOBuilder() {
this.guia = new GuiaVO();
}
public GuiaVOBuilder comId(Integer id) {
guia.setId(id);
return this;
}
public GuiaVOBuilder comPessoaFisica(PessoaFisicaVO pessoaFisica) {
guia.setPessoaFisica(pessoaFisica);
return this;
}
... //Builder methods
public GuiaVO build(){
return guia;
}
public GuiaVO buildGuiaCompleto() throws IOException {
return new ObjectMapper().readValue(GuiaVOBuilder.class.getResource("/guiaVOTemplate.json"), GuiaVO.class);
}
}

Answer 1

I find my mistake, in the main pom.xml, the maven-surefire-plugin was including all files, so because this I was getting Unable to create test class 'guiaVOTemplate.json'. So I could resolve this putting files with extension .json in the exclude list, as bellow. And my guiaVOTemplate.json remains in src/test/resources.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.18.1</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/*</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.json</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Answer 2

Copy the guiaVOTemplate.json file to src\main\resources and it should work.
