Not finding YAML files to validate if not in src/main/resources

[larissaleite]

Hi! I have been trying to use the plugin but it doesn't find YAML files that are not in src/main/resources. I have a different structure on my project and would very much like to use this to validate my YAML files. Is there a workaround?

Thanks!

See the https://github.com/sylvainlaurent/yaml-json-validator-maven-plugin. It shows how to use <includes>.

I did, I have a bunch of YAML files under several nested directories inside a top-level configs directory and using <include>${basedir}/configs/**/*.yml</include> doesn't work.

Closing this issue as I realized that it's not necessary to have ${basedir} in the path. Without ${basedir} it works

Sorry to comment on closed issue, but I have the same problem, minimal repro pom + yaml : https://github.com/cvakiitho/yaml-maven-example/blob/master/pom.xml

@cvakiitho You are doing it wrong. You only introduced the plugin management but you forgot to invoke the plugin. Also, you put ... for a version. This fixes it:

Thanks @wilx! Long time has passed since I used maven plugins, my bad.
