Description
In a project I was using a separate integrationTest source set with the JVM Test Suite approach recommended by Gradle [link to instructions](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/jvm_test_suite_plugin.html#sec:declare_an_additional_test_suite).
When done this way, the integration test sources will be in `src/integrationTest` instead of `src/test`. The classes in `src/test` will not be on the classpath of the integration tests.
When running Selfie with JUnit5, the current garbage collection logic is hardcoded to only look for `*.ss` files in `src/test/` and performs a `Class.forName(...)` to see if that test still exists and has tests that match the snapshot. If it doesn't find a match, it deletes the file.
Since the unit tests are invisible on the integrationTest classpath, though, `Class.forName(...)` throws a `ClassNotFoundException` so selfie assumes this is a stale file and deletes. As a consequence, all the unit test snapshots are deleted when running the `integrationTest` task.
Is there some way to get the correct source root from Junit or something like that to avoid deleting unmanaged files?
