Read File From Classpath
March 20, 2018
I have a test that requires complex XML input. I decided to put this in a file in a resources directory, and then read it from there for the test.
My file is in src/test/resources/examples/RouteDataExample.xml
In order to retrieve this into the test code, I needed to do:
InputStream is = MyClassTest.class.getResourceAsStream("/examples/RouteDataExample.xml"); assertNotNull("Can't find example xml file", is); final String TEST_XML = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)).lines().collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
The final line of code here will convert windows style line endings to unix ones.
