Story Not Found error while running a test using Jbehave Junit - bdd

Question

I have configured my Jbehave test project and has a .story file in the project. I tried using the configuration settings as I found on the internet but when I run the tests, it gives me an error, the stack trace is shown below

However, I have my .story file in the same location at which the code tries to find it. To find the .story file, I have used the below code:
#Override
protected List<String> storyPaths() {
/*
* return new StoryFinder().findPaths(
* CodeLocations.codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass()), "**.story",
* "");
*/
String placetoSearch = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\src\\BusinessCase1.story";
/*return new StoryFinder().findPaths(CodeLocations.codeLocationFromClass(this.getClass()), placetoSearch, "");*/
return Arrays
.asList(placetoSearch);
}
Any help or reference in this regard would be appreciated.

There's a difference between looking for a file, and looking for a resource.
JBehave uses the classloader you set it up with to look for the story as a resource. A resource is normally part of the packages you're running. That means it needs a filename relative to the root of your classes, rather than an absolute path.
(If you were using myClass.getResource() rather than myClassLoader.getResource() it would be relative to your class.)
You can also use unix-style slashes if you want to. Try "/BusinessCase1.story" as the filename.
