All the examples just show a file name which I presume can be anywhere in the classpath. I presume I can put a subpath such as

resources/test/changing/**

and it will ignore any resources that match any part eg.

a/b/c/resource/test/changing/d/e/f.txt

https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.normalization.RuntimeClasspathNormalization.html So you probably want

**/resources/test/changing/**

Thanks. I am not sure why I didn’t see that doc before.

The docs are partly a bit overwhelming. 🙂 But the search is often quite helpful, found it by searching for "normalization"

oh.. does runtimeClasspathNormalization not apply to test runtime classpath?

I would say it should and is one of the main use-cases. https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/build_cache_concepts.html#runtime_classpath:

and uses tailored input normalization to avoid running e.g. tests.

ok thanks. I will keep digging

Is vault really a directory? Did you declare the normalization for that project?

oh crap.. its a symlink!
