读取目标/测试类FileNotFound上的文件

Question

I´m reading a file from my resource folder in a unit test

I can see the file in the target/test-classes

But when I try to wrap the file into a fileInputStream this one throw the exception because cannot find the file

ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
File file = new File(classLoader.getResource("CV.pdf").getFile());
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file)

Output debuging:

classLoader.getResource("CV.pdf"):

file:/Users/Development/File%20-%20Test%20Java%20trial/Code/target/test-classes/CV.pdf

Maybe it could be because my folder has whitespace names?

The file is there for sure, I can seen it in that folder.

What I´m doing wrong here?.

Regards.

Answer 1

Do you really need FileInputStream ?

Actual file can be even inside jar (if you instruct maven to make test-jar).

More flexible way is to use InputStream instead:

try(final InputStream is = getClass().getResource("CV.pdf").openStream()) 
{
    //Do something with is
}
