using exposed I set up my database and using a json file to parse some fake records

[suyash]

Getting Error like this
2025-10-10 132247.152 [eventLoopGroupProxy-4-1] INFO [Koin] - * Instance creation error : could not create instance for '[Singleton:'com.example.Helper']': java.io.FileNotFoundException: src/main/kotlin/data/books.json (No such file or directory)

on this particular thing it is working fine in local

I don;t know where you should I put that file onto

Need help to where to put that json file

[suyash]

here is the code snippet

val jsonString = File(jsonFilePath).readText()

seedDatabase("src/main/kotlin/data/books.json")

[Chrimaeon]

how do you deploy to Render, as a jar or as docker container?

[suyash]

as a jar

[Chrimaeon]

then include it as a Resource and access it with https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html

[Chrimaeon]

the file should then be in src/main/resources and the path will then be /books.json if you put it in the root of this folder.
