Reading From a File Within Same Directory

Question

I am writing a test using the Groovy Spock framework, IntelliJ and Bazel build system. The goal is to read test data from LamborghiniAventador.obj located in the same directory as the test file, Model3dImporterSpec.groovy.

I am getting a java.io.FileNotFoundException.

def "reading from test file in same directory"() {
  given: "some stuff"
     //do some stuff here

  when: "reading from test file"
    def file = Paths.get("LamborghiniAventador.obj").normalize().toFile()   
    def byteArray = getFileAsByteStream(file.getAbsolutePath())

  then: "file should be read and byte array should not be null"
    byteArray != null;        
}

private static byte[] getFileAsByteStream(String pathToFile) {
  return new File(pathToFile).text.getBytes()
}

The path to my file when I search on command line is: ~/Dev/Master/src/test/java/com/censored/api/editor/model3dparsers/LamborghiniAventador.obj

I can successfully read from a file sitting on my desktop but as soon as I relocate that file within the project space things stop working.

How do I read test data from a test file, where the test data file and the test file live in the same directory. This is an easy task in Java (Eclipse). I have looked at a ton of other Stackoverflow questions to no avail so I think I have a serious lack of understanding here. I would love explanation in addition to an answer.

Edited for Clarification

Answer 1

I have solved my own question with help from @Opal.

1) When you want to access a resource in bazel you need to update the build file by adding in a resources array:

resources = ["LamborghiniAventador.obj"],

2) def foo = getClass().getResourceAsStream('LamborghiniAventador.obj') as suggested by @Opal worked for me once I made change 1). So the code above is now:

 def "reading a file in goovy."() {
   when: "reading file from same directory"
     System.out.println("Going to read from a file in same directory")
     def foo = getClass().getResourceAsStream('LamborghiniAventador.obj')
     def byteArray = foo.getBytes()
   then: "file should be read and byte array should not be null"
     byteArray != null; 
 }
