Loading Resources from JAR fails in experiments.sts2013baseline.util.StopwordFilter

[nicolaierbs]

Original issue 13 created by dkpro on 2013-08-19T14:46:06.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Download the 1.0.1 stable version of the sts2013baseline (gpl package)
2. Run Pipeline -D

Run terminates with Exception:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [stopwords/stopwords_english_punctuation.txt] cannot be resolved to absolute file path because it does not reside in the file system:
jar:file:/home/someuser/.m2/repository/de/tudarmstadt/ukp/similarity/dkpro/de.tudarmstadt.ukp.similarity.dkpro.data-asl/1.0.1/de.tudarmstadt.ukp.similarity.dkpro.data-asl-1.0.1.jar!/stopwords/stopwords_english_punctuation.txt

at de.tudarmstadt.ukp.similarity.experiments.sts2013baseline.util.StopwordFilter.initialize(StopwordFilter.java:75)
... 15 more

Suggested Bugfix:

Replace res.getFile(); with res.getInputStream(); in
de.tudarmstadt.ukp.similarity.experiments.sts2013baseline.util.StopwordFilter.initialize(StopwordFilter.java:75)

There is actually at least one more bug of the same type...

Figured out it an easier work-around is to copy the data needed (datasets, goldstandards, stopwords) from the jar file into a separate folder and add it manually to the class path...

Cheers Michael

Yes, this will certainly work, too.

Could you point out the other location, where the same error occurs, so that we can fix that, too?

ps: And thanks for the patch.

Next one was caused by sts2013baseline.util.Features2Arff.toArffFile(Features2Arff.java:49)
Same res.getFile() problem

I fixed the issue at those two locations.
Hopefully that fixed it.

[nicolaierbs]

I am not sure whether your issue has the same cause. Could you please post the line where you load the file "goldstandards/semeval-2012/train/STS.gs.MSRpar.txt"?

[avineshpvs]

I get the error at the 2nd line.
Resource res = r.getResource(gsScoresFilePath);
File gsScoresFile = res.getFile();

[nicolaierbs]

Can you just use the file path directly? 'File file = new File("goldstandards/semeval-2012/train/STS.gs.MSRpar.txt")'? Resource is a class which provides functionality to load files from a jar in the classpath. (It should work though...)

[nicolaierbs]

The file "STS.gs.MSRpar.txt" is in the jar dkpro.similarity.uima.data-asl (version 2.1.0). Running from the command line will not work because several other dependencies are required. If you the dependencies to a maven project it should work fine.

[avineshpvs]

Thanks. I had all the dependencies in the maven project. The pipeline was running fine until this point and it was reading couple of other files from the dkpro.similarity.uima.data-asl, just that it was not able to read this particular file.

[nicolaierbs]

Ok, I'm running out of ideas. It would be good if you could debug it. It might be due to another version of the artifact, but I'm not sure about that.

[zesch]

Could you please try to navigate to the jar in the exception
file:/home/.m2/repository/dkpro/similarity/dkpro.similarity.uima.data-asl/2.1.0/dkpro.similarity.uima.data-asl-2.1.0.jar
and then look whether the specified file is actually in there?
/goldstandards/semeval-2012/train/STS.gs.MSRpar.txt

[avineshpvs]

Yes it is there in the location.

If it is there, I don't see why the exception you have reported should be thrown.

[reckart]

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [goldstandards/semeval-2012/train/STS.gs.MSRpar.txt] cannot be resolved to absolute file path because it does not reside in the file system: jar:file:/home/.m2/repository/dkpro/similarity/dkpro.similarity.uima.data-asl/2.1.0/dkpro.similarity.uima.data-asl-2.1.0.jar!/goldstandards/semeval-2012/train/STS.gs.MSRpar.txt
at org.springframework.util.ResourceUtils.getFile(ResourceUtils.java:205)

So this looks like the calling code is expecting the resource to be located in the file system and tries using getFile() to get a File object representing the resource. However, since the resource is in a JAR, it cannot be addressed using a File object. This would work if the user has DKPro Similarity checked out in the local machine (in which case the resource would be in the Maven target folder on disk), but not if the user is using the resource through a Maven dependency.

[zesch]

Right. Thanks Richard.
I didn't saw the problem earlier as the experiment is in GPL tmp repository that still awaits its move to the main repository.

So the quick word around is to check out all of dkpro-similarity.
But in the long run we should replace the file references with streams or use ResourceUtils.resolveLocation()

[avineshpvs]

Thanks Richard and Torsten.
