Hi everyone. help me pls. How can I get resources in kotlin-native?
I cannot use this example:

UtilsTests::class..getResource("/source.pst")

How can I get classpath?

I believe this is related: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-24463

Thanks, but it is not that I want. I do not know syntax kotlin-native how I can access some files in resources

[Zh Efimenko]

kotlin-native does not have classloader and I could not find something else

[Dominaezzz]

You have two options.

[Dominaezzz]

You can reference you resource files directly.

[Dominaezzz]

Or you can bundle the files into your output/binary/klib.

[Dominaezzz]

The latter is a bit tricky.

[Zh Efimenko]

I cannot reference to file directly, because app runs on the different os. I need to find possibility relative reference to file.

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

For loading resources, you should use POSIX lib functions from platform.posix.* , with manual opening and reading files you need. I suppose, it also solves your problem with relative paths, it can be managed with standard glob syntax. If you got a case where the program has to bring some data with itself, you can try to use an ImmutableBlob class for this purpose (https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.native/-immutable-blob/index.html)
