How to get the path of src/test/resources directory in JUnit?

by

You don’t need to mess with class loaders. In fact it’s a bad habit to get into because class loader resources are not java.io.File objects when they are in a jar archive.

Maven automatically sets the current working directory before running tests, so you can just use:

    File resourcesDirectory = new File("src/test/resources");

resourcesDirectory.getAbsolutePath() will return the correct value if that is what you really need.

I recommend creating a src/test/data directory if you want your tests to access data via the file system. This makes it clear what you’re doing.
