Hi
In our project we have multiple json file in a tests resources folder we would like to deserialize during the tests
Is there a Kotes framework that help doing that ?
I found a way to read a specific file with a specific name but since we have many and we can add more - I would like to iterate over the folder (not nested)

Thanks

You would just use jackson or some other json parser right?

[Jgafner]

yes

[sam]

So does that answer your question

[Jgafner]

My question was more on how to collect all the files in a specific resource folder to parse laster by the jackson framework

[Jgafner]

I saw in TornadoFX they got some nice utils for that so I was wondering if there is one in kotest as well

[sam]

Can you show me the tornado stuff

[Jgafner]

https://edvin.gitbooks.io/tornadofx-guide/content/part1/3_Components.html
they added this:

val resources: ResourceLookup by lazy {
    ResourceLookup(this)
}

so we can do something like this:

val myJsonObject = resources.json("myobject.json")

[Jgafner]

in the page I sent under:
Accessing Resources section

I see, that's not built into Kotest. I think its a little too specific to live in kotest, which doesn't have anything specific for json handling. You would be doing something like (in jackson) mapper.readValue<Foo>(javaClass.getResourceAsStream("/myobject.json"))

[sam]

I think you could add your own little wrapper very easily

ok tnx a lot
