javafx.fxml.LoadException: file path error

Question

Thank you all, issue wasn't related to the file load, but to a different part of the code. Sorry for wasing your time, but thank you anyways!

I've seen this question here before but whenever I try to fix my problem it doesn't work.

When trying to load a new window in java fxml, I use this method:

public void openContacts(ActionEvent event) {
    try {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/application/CV.fxml"));
        Scene scene = new Scene(root);
        scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
        Stage stage = new Stage();
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }
    catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println(e);
    }
}

But I get this excpetion:

javafx.fxml.LoadException: 
/C:/Users/tomer/eclipse-workspace/PhoneProj%20V3/bin/application/CV.fxml

Any help? Thanks!

Edit: full error message

javafx.fxml.LoadException:

Someone suggested changing the project name and removing the space, didn't do anything... I also tried giving the full path name of the file, instead of just "/application/CV.fxml". (full path name is"C:\\Users\\tomer\\eclipse-workspace\\PhoneProjV3\\src\\application\\CV.fxml")

Answer 1

Try to remove the space in the project name. The "PhoneProj V3" gets urlencoded which results in "PhoneProj%20V3" and that resulting name doesn't exist.

Try to change "PhoneProj V3" to "PhoneProjV3" (remove the space).
