I have the "missing" xml file on the same package as my test class.

Test class is

          @DataSet({"RegTest.xml"})
      public class RegTest extends TestBase {

I get the same error even if I'm not defining the file name on anotation.

Answer 1

Relocate RegTest.xml file to test/resources. You also need to use in your file unitils.properties property: dbUnit.datasetresolver.prefixWithPackageName=false - this property say to unitils don't use for search pakage name before your file. After all these changes unitils will start to look for RegTest.xml in folder test/resources.

I hope it will help.
