How do test resources get moved such that they will be accessible via classLoader.getResource("foo.txt") during a test? And is the package relevant?

[pajatopmr]

I see the resources under “…build/processedResources/…” but not in “build/classes/kotlin/jvm/test/…” where I expect them to be.

Does one have to create a Gradle copy task to make that happen with Kotlin MPP?

I did not try any manual gradle copying, but I was not able to make that work. Someone else on here mentioned just using plain old File with a relative path.

That’s a good clue but not quite the final answer. Thanks for the tip.

[pajatopmr]

For those who care, here’s what I did to get to yes: 1) Wrote a Gradle copy task to copy the resource from the source set to the build tree. 2) invoked that task. 3) accessed the file using the getResource("resource-file-name") in a test function. 4) Broke out the champagne when it actually worked!

Ping me if more details are desired.

i am curious about that

[pajatopmr]

Here’s the task added to build.gradle.kts: tasks.register<Copy>(“copyResources”) {
from(file(“$projectDir/src/jvmTest/resources/application.conf”))
into(file(“$buildDir/classes/kotlin/jvm/test/“))
}

[pajatopmr]

And here’s the test function:

[pajatopmr]

@test
fun `find resources`() {
val paths = object {}.javaClass.classLoader.getResources(“application.conf”).toList()
assertEquals(1, paths.size, “Wrong size.“)
}

easy enough

Could be the same case as https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-24463#focus=streamItem-27-3284502.0-0

looks like it's the same issue
