file not found on path ""src/test/resources/"

my java test code tries to get to a file in my project folders

but I get IO exception:

   String fileContents = new String(Files.readAllBytes(
            Paths.get("src/test/resources/SenegalAndBulgariaConfig.txt")));


   String fileContents = new String(Files.readAllBytes(
            Paths.get("src/")));

It used to work, but not anymore:

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: src/test/resources/SenegalAndBulgariaConfig.txt

    at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:86)
    at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:102)

    at java.nio.file.Files.newByteChannel(Files.java:407)
    at java.nio.file.Files.readAllBytes(Files.java:3152)

though it exist:

private String readFileContent(String filePath) throws URISyntaxException, IOException {
    byte[] bytes = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(filePath).toURI()));
    return new String(bytes);
}

in your case filePath will be SenegalAndBulgariaConfig.txt.

for example:

String senegalAndBulgariaConfig = readFileContent("SenegalAndBulgariaConfig.txt");

The following should work, assuming that SenegalAndBulgariaConfig.txt is in /resources:

    InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/SenegalAndBulgariaConfig.txt");
    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    IOUtils.copy(is, writer, Charset.defaultCharset());
    String fileContents = writer.toString();
    System.out.println(fileContents );

NOTE getClass() can be replaced by ClassName.class

There is often a confusion between loading files as resources (through classpath) or by addressing it directly on the drive. Maybe my answer here can help you distiguish the both.
