Intellij not recognizing source directory in project

Java EE. Maven. Package resources marked as Resource root, package java as Source root also. In my class I have path String property\file.properties, but when I run it, IDEA throws an exception :

"java.io.FileNotFoundException: property\file.properties (The system cannot find the path specified)"

But when I change path String to src\main\resources\property\file.properties it works. Packages marked as source. In Project File - Module I also see that this directories marked as source roots. How can I fix it, any ideas? I have already tried invalidate cache. P.S: When I rename my string path with shift + f6 file also change name.

EDIT: Source root packages

In IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate as whereas the Community Edition, you can mark any folder in your project as your Sources, Tests, Resources, etc directory.

  1. Right-click on your project root directory ➡ Select Open Module Settings in the context menu.
    Open module settings

  2. In the Project Structure window that opens, choose a folder in your project ➡ then select to 'Mark' that folder as your Sources or Resources directory depending on your needs.
    mark folder as Sources directory

  3. You should see a list of marked folders in the right pane of the same window. Click the Apply and OK button when done to save your new changes.
