How can I access resources in src/main/resources from test?

[Johannes Zick]

Same way you access them normally

[Johannes Zick]

main is included in test

[hooliooo]

val t = ClassPathResource("$fileName.csv")
val u = t.inputStream

val reader = BufferedReader(u.reader())
var content: String = ""
reader.use { reader ->
    content = reader.readText()
}

println(content)

<http://java.io|java.io>.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [material_surcharges.csv] cannot be opened because it does not exist

In my unit test.

I had to use:

val path = Paths.get("src", "main", "resources", "csv", "$fileName.csv")
val stream = Files.newInputStream(path)

@hooliooo I have to admit, I did not try that class yet. What about the "normal" getResource("/$fileName.csv") version? It needs the additional slash to make it an absolut path, but should work. Resources from main should be available in test. Otherwise neither your default application.yaml config file nor logging would be available.

[hooliooo]

val url = javaClass.classLoader.getResource("/$fileName.csv")

yields null

[Johannes Zick]

That is a little strange. I have to admit, it's been a while since I used this. At this point, I think it's more a matter of the build tool, of how it creates the runtime environment.

[Johannes Zick]

Huh, google does not say either way at first glance. Try adding src/main/resources to the resource directories in the build file, see if it changes anything. Maybe my memory was wrong. Something like this:

sourceSets {
    test {
        resources {
            srcDirs("src/main/resources")
        }
    }
}

how is related to kotlin? 🤔
