Assessment

Research direction

Description

org.opentest4j.AssertionFailedError: Couldn't find source file for CallLocation(clazz=org.junit.runners.model.FrameworkMethod$1, method=<unknown>, fileName=FrameworkMethod.java, line=-1), looked in TypedPath(absolutePath=/home/runner/work/diffplugdotcom/diffplugdotcom/server/src/test/java/) and [/home/runner/work/diffplugdotcom/diffplugdotcom/server/src/test/resources], maybe there are other source roots?
