How to read a text-file resource into Java unit test?

Question

I have a unit test that needs to work with XML file located in src/test/resources/abc.xml. What is the easiest way just to get the content of the file into String?

Answer 1

Right to the point :

ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();

File file = new File(classLoader.getResource("file/test.xml").getFile());
