Gradle throw NoSuchFileException for existing file on Ubuntu

I'm working on a small Gradle project and want to use my Reader class in a Spock test. When I start the test the Reader class throws:

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException

In my Gradle project, I have test.txt file in /src/test/resources. When I run the test with my Reader then Gradle shows me:

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: file:project_path/build/resources/test/test.txt

even though there is a file in that path. I checked using both the terminal and the browser.

I use Java 11 on Ubuntu.

//Reader class read lines:    
try (Stream<String> stream = Files.lines(Path.of(String.valueOf(getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(fileName)))))

//gradle.build without test dependencies
apply plugin: "java"
apply plugin: "groovy"

group = "com.example"
version = "1.0"
sourceCompatibility = "1.11"

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

Change your Reader read logic on:

try (Stream<String> stream = Files.lines(Path.of(ClassLoader.getSystemResource(fileName).toURI()))) {
    ...
}

Path.of() will create correct path when using URI: /project_path/build/resources/test/test.txt because it will extract path from the provider specified by the protocol in the URI (file: in your case).

But when you call Path.of() for String argument it assumes it is the real path (file:project_path/build/resources/test/test.txt in your case).
