Can't access resources in kotlin from src/main/resources-CodePudding

I have a gradle kotlin project , where I want to load a file from my resources directory. My kotlin classes are in src/main/kotlin/packagenames and my resources are in src/main/resources

After gradle build including kotlin plugin (kotlin("jvm") version "1.7.20") my classes are copied to build/classes/kotlin/main/packagenames and my resources to build/resources/main

Now I try to read this files from my kotlin code

object {}.javaClass.getResourceAsStream("/resources/filename")

object {}.javaClass.classloader.getResourceAsStream("/resources/filename")

but the files are not found.

When I try to see which directory it looks into

println(this.javaClass.getResource("/"))

results in build/classes/kotlin and with javaClass.classLoader it returns null accessing '/'

This means normally I would have to go up two directories and then access resources directory, but this doesn't work as build/classes/kotlin seems to be the root. Any Idea why this happens.

CodePudding user response：

Remove /resources/ from the input string and instead try

object {}.javaClass.getResourceAsStream("/filename")

This should work as expected.
