Using assets in robolectric tests

Question

In my robolectric tests I am trying to read a file. Since this file contains just the test data I have put it in assets of the tests. The directory structure looks like this. `src/main/assets/prod_data_file` `src/test/assets/test_data_file` However when I try to read the file by `getShadowApplication().getAssets().open(MY_FILE_PATH)` it gives me `FileNotFoundException`. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Accepted Answer

Since my tests are just reading these files and returning file data as a `String` I was able to do that via `getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(MY_FILE_PATH)` and then read file. Dont really need to read to use `getShadowApplication().getAssets().open(MY_FILE_PATH)`.

I just moved my test data files to `src/test/resources` and it worked. :)
