Getting the resource path during testing

I am trying to write a unit tests that uses a file in my project. In my application, I use FileManager.default.currentDirectoryPath to get the path to my file. However, the test path is different when I use the same in tesing. After reading up the documentation I understood that XCode uses a different path for unit testing.

I was wondering how I can get the correct Bundle path for File.txt in my tests

I have tried this but it returns null

let testBundle = Bundle(for: type(of: self))
let fileURL = testBundle.url(forResource: "File", withExtension: "txt")

The following is my directory structure. ShopTests is my unit test file and File.txt is the file for which I am trying to retrieve the path url for(both highlighted in picture) enter image description here

Here is how I am doing it in a test that works:

let dataURL = Bundle(for: TripBuilderTest.self).url(forResource: fileName, withExtension: "json")

I think I remember having had the same problem you are reporting. Try using classname.self as per above.
