For Scala 2.11, if getLines doesn't do exactly what you want you can also copy the a file out of the jar to the local file system.

Here's a snippit that reads a binary google .p12 format API key from /resources, writes it to /tmp, and then uses the file path string as an input to a spark-google-spreadsheets write.

In the world of sbt-native-packager and sbt-assembly, copying to local is also useful with scalatest binary file tests. Just pop them out of resources to local, run the tests, and then delete.

import java.io.{File, FileOutputStream}
import java.nio.file.{Files, Paths}

def resourceToLocal(resourcePath: String) = {
  val outPath = "/tmp/" + resourcePath
  if (!Files.exists(Paths.get(outPath))) {
    val resourceFileStream = getClass.getResourceAsStream(s"/${resourcePath}")
    val fos = new FileOutputStream(outPath)
    fos.write(
      Stream.continually(resourceFileStream.read).takeWhile(-1 !=).map(_.toByte).toArray
    )
    fos.close()
  }
  outPath
}

val filePathFromResourcesDirectory = "google-docs-key.p12"
val serviceAccountId = "[something]@drive-integration-[something].iam.gserviceaccount.com"
val googleSheetId = "1nC8Y3a8cvtXhhrpZCNAsP4MBHRm5Uee4xX-rCW3CW_4"
val tabName = "Favorite Cities"

import spark.implicits
val df = Seq(("Brooklyn", "New York"), 
          ("New York City", "New York"), 
          ("San Francisco", "California")).
          toDF("City", "State")

df.write.
  format("com.github.potix2.spark.google.spreadsheets").
  option("serviceAccountId", serviceAccountId).
  option("credentialPath", resourceToLocal(filePathFromResourcesDirectory)).
  save(s"${googleSheetId}/${tabName}")
