Note: this requires Java 9+

I use the following to read a file in my resources as byte array:

getClass.getResourceAsStream("/file-in-resource-folder").readAllBytes()

As described in How to read a file as a byte array in Scala, the following fragment should do the trick:

def slurp(resource: String) = {
  val bis = new BufferedInputStream(getClass.getResource(resource))
  try Stream.continually(bis.read).takeWhile(-1 !=).map(_.toByte).toArray
  finally bis.close()
}
