utbot-cli: Hit java.lang.NullPointerException: relativePathForClass.parent must not be null while running when running BunchTestGeneratorCommand

[zerowsw]

Description

While using utbot-cli to generate unit tests for open source projects, we hit the issue like:
java.lang.NullPointerException: relativePathForClass.parent must not be null while running. In https://github.com/UnitTestBot/UTBotJava/blob/main/utbot-cli/src/main/kotlin/org/utbot/cli/ClassLoaderUtils.kt#L18, it tries to find parent directory of relativePathForClass and failed. This happens when some compiled maven projects have .class files right under /target/classes directory without any parent directories.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. clone https://github.com/fiji/IO to local
2. use java 8 to run mvn dependency:build-classpath --define mdep.outputFile=/tmp/classpath.txt to store dependency classpath into a file.
3. use java 8 to run mvn compile and compile the project
4. compile UTBotJava and get utbot-cli.jar
5. Run bunchGenerate command through code like
   java --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.ref=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.lang.reflect=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util.concurrent.locks=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/jdk.internal.icu.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/sun.security.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.logging/java.util.logging=ALL-UNNAMED -jar /<Relative Path to utbot-cli>/utbot-cli.jar bunchGenerate --test-framework junit5 --classpath /<Relative path to IO project >/src/target/classes --classpathFile /tmp/classpath.txt --output <Any output path>

Expected behavior

Tests are supposed to be generated.

Actual behavior

hit NullPointerException
