How to read a text-file resource into Java unit test? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Right to the point :

ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
File file = new File(classLoader.getResource("file/test.xml").getFile());

Answer 2

Here's what i used to get the text files with text. I used commons' IOUtils and guava's Resources.

public static String getString(String path) throws IOException {
    try (InputStream stream = Resources.getResource(path).openStream()) {
        return IOUtils.toString(stream);
    }
}
