Liquibase cannot find parser

Question

I am getting a Liquibase exception when running update.

Caused by: liquibase.exception.UnknownChangelogFormatException: 
Cannot find parser that supports <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

I thought Liquibase by default supports xml parsing so I am not sure of the case here. Am I missing a configuration when I initialize the class?

  private lazy val liquibase: Liquibase = {
    val fsFO: ResourceAccessor = new FileSystemResourceAccessor
    val clFO: ResourceAccessor = new ClassLoaderResourceAccessor
    val contextClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader
    val threadClFO: ResourceAccessor = new ClassLoaderResourceAccessor(contextClassLoader)
    val database = DatabaseFactory.getInstance.findCorrectDatabaseImplementation(new JdbcConnection(connection))
    new Liquibase(changeLog, new CompositeResourceAccessor(clFO, fsFO, threadClFO), database)
  }

  def update(): Unit = Try(liquibase.update(context)) match {
    case Success(_) => log.info("LIQUIBASE FINISHED: Update change log")
    case Failure(ex) => throw new Exception("LIQUIBASE FAILED: Update change log", ex)
  }

The variable changelog is the String read using `java.o.File

  val fileReader = new FileReader(file)
  val characters = new Array[Char](file.length().toInt)
  fileReader.read(characters)
  new String(characters)

Answer 1

It appears that the issue is that the changeLog variable is something other than a String that contains the path to the changelog file.
