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

sbt copies files from src/test/resources to target/scala-[scalaVersion]/test-classes.

You can access the resources in your tests as follows:

Source.fromURL(getClass.getResource("/testData.txt"))

It does assume that testData.txt was directly under the folder src/test/resources. Add any subdirectories, otherwise.
