hey guys, is it possible to access

resources

folder via

java.io.File

when I run the app locally it works, but when I build the fatJar, this Folder is not available and an exception is thrown, what I’m doing wrong?

private val tempMailDirectory = Paths.get("").toAbsolutePath().toString() + "/src/main/resources/blacklisted_domains"

I think you do not need even

java.io.File

I have in my backend like this

javaClass.classLoader?.getResource("YOUR_PATH")?.readText()?.let{
// do your stuff
}

@Mustafa Ozhan thank you, that solves the problem, kinda hacky way but it works

That’s not a hacky way - that’s the way you access resourses in a jar package 😉 https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/lang/resources.html

TIL @Chrimaeon thanks
