Reading Config.Properties file from src/test/resources folder in MAVEN project

I am new to Maven and building a project with maven and try to load config.properties file from src/test/resources folder. I tried searching solution to my problem but no success as of now. Can someone please help me in this ?

my project structure is like this :

ProjectName
--- src/test/java
       --- utilities
           ----utilities.java
                 ---getProperty()
----src/test/resources
        ----Configuration
              ---config.properties

pom.xml includes

<build>
   <resources>
     <resource>
       <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
       <filtering>true</filtering>
     </resource>
   </resources>

 </build>

code to fetch config file :

public class utilities()
     {
        public void getProperty()
     {
     Properties prp=new Properties();
     String propFilePath = "src/test/resources/Configuration/config.properties";
     String[] tmpArray = propFilePath.split("/");
     String propFileName=tmpArray[tmpArray.length - 1];
     ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
     InputStream inputStream = loader.getResourceAsStream(propFileName);

                if (inputStream != null)
                    {
                        prp.load(inputStream);
                    } 
     }

}

Tried many options, but still getting File Not Found Exception: property file 'config.properties' not found in the class path NOTE: if i am using config.properties file from src/main/resources (default location of maven). it is working fine

Please help me. Thanks in advance !!

Assuming that this file is correctly copied to the runtime classpath then it can be addressed as follows:

ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
InputStream inputStream = loader.getResourceAsStream("Configuration/config.properties");

But ...

  1. A 'test' resource will not be on the non-test runtime classpath and it's not clear whether the code you posted is run within a 'test context' or not.
  2. You seem to be trying to load this file from InputStream inputStream = loader.getResourceAsStream("config.properties") rather than from InputStream inputStream = loader.getResourceAsStream("Configuration/config.properties")
