While running my app with Intellij Idea , I had no problems with resource folder. It was reading files and passing tests. It was implemented like this:
val resourcesPath = getClass.getResource("/lexical/stopWords.csv").getPath
val source = fromFile(resourcesPath)
val text = try source.mkString finally source.close()
But when I started to test my server with docker-compose, I started to get error about my files, It couldn’t read them anymore. So I have to change my code again:
val source = Source.fromInputStream(getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(path))(Codec.UTF8)
val text = try source.mkString finally source.close()
- (Codec.UTF8) -> makes sure all characters readable
- getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(path) -> will consider all paths to be absolute paths.
