JUnit和类加载器的问题

Question

I'm working on a Maven project in IntelliJ whose tree looks like:

-resources (marked as default resource folder)  
-src  

Inside src there are

-src/main  
-src/test

While inside resources there's a file called "windows.json" that i need to parse.

As of now, the class that needs to parse the json is src/main/java/utils/WindowBuilder.Java and I'm using an InputStreamReader by passing to its constructor:

ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("windows.json");   

The code works just fine on its own, but if I try to run tests from src/test using WindowBuilder class I get a NullPointerException when trying to retrieve the resource.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The correct tree structure in a maven project is:

Add your resource files for tests in resources folder under test.
