无法加载javafx场景

Question

I have a problem with loading a file. I'm trying to load the scene "areaView.fxml" with the following code:

public class View extends Application {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}

@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws IOException {
        FXMLLoader loader = new FXMLLoader(getClass().getResource("/resources/areaView.fxml"));
        Parent root = loader.load();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
}}

But when I launch I get an InvocationTargetException ..

For information i'm on windows and the absolute path of the file is: C:\\Users\\pierr\\Desktop\\Yves\\resources\\areaView.fxml

It's probably a stupid mistake but I've been stuck on it for quite some time.... I'm almost sure it's related to the "/" but all my attempts to fix it have failed...

Thank you in advance

EDIT :

Here the full stack tace

EDIT n°2

Very strange thing when I test this:

 System.out.println(getClass().getResource("").toString());

I get this : file:/C:/Users/pierr/Desktop/Yves/out/production/Yves/view/

When I would have imagined getting this: file:/C:/Users/pierr/Desktop/Yves/

If i move my file to file:/C:/Users/pierr/Desktop/Yves/out/production/Yves/view/ it works but in fact this solution is not satisfactory

Answer 1

By default your resources folder should be under projectName/src/main/resources .

So in your case: C:\\Users\\pierr\\Desktop\\Yves\\src\\main\\resources\\areaView.fxml .

In such case .getResource("areaView.fxml") should be sufficient.

Just keep in mind that if you move your fxml to a different folder or you call getResource from a different folder than src/main/java you will have to change the relative path that you pass to the method.
