How to access test resources in Scala?

Question

I have a file data.xml in src/test/resources/.

How can I read that file into a new FileReader in my test data.scala

Answer 1

Another alternative (especially if you need to access resource as a File); is to obtain it's path via:

val path = getClass.getResource("/testData.txt").getPath
val file = new File(path)

as has been pointed out in Scala get file path of file in resources folder
