Re: Write to disk in Platform based JUnit tests

Where do you get the FileObject from, if not from 
FileUtil.toFileObject() or one of the createData() methods - which use 
toFileObject() internally?

I just created a new Maven NetBeans Module with the following Test class 
and POM.
The test works for me.

TEST:
package nb.filetestmodule;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.openide.filesystems.FileObject;
import org.openide.filesystems.FileUtil;
import org.openide.util.Exceptions;

public class FileTest {

     @Test
     public void testFileUtil() throws IOException {
         Path p = Files.createTempDirectory("tempDir");
         File tempDir = p.toAbsolutePath().toFile();
         FileObject tempDirFo = FileUtil.toFileObject(tempDir);
         File data1 = new File(tempDir, "data1");
         FileObject data1Fo = FileUtil.createData(data1);
         FileObject data2Fo = FileUtil.createData(tempDirFo, "data2");
         checkFile(tempDirFo);
         checkFile(data1Fo);
         checkFile(data2Fo);
     }

     private void checkFile(FileObject data) {
         assertNotNull(data);
         URL url = data.toURL();
         assertTrue(url.getProtocol().equals("file"));
         System.out.println(url);
     }

}
