kotlin gradle resources folder

  1. Open your Kotlin project in an IDE or text editor.

  2. Locate the src/main/resources folder in your project's directory. If it doesn't exist, create it.

  3. Inside the resources folder, add any necessary files or subdirectories containing the resources your project requires.

  4. Open your build.gradle.kts file.

  5. Locate the sourceSets block in the build.gradle.kts file.

  6. Inside the sourceSets block, you'll find a section for the main source set, often named main. Add the following code snippet to include the resources directory in the classpath:

kotlin resources.srcDirs("src/main/resources")

It should look something like this:

kotlin sourceSets { main { resources.srcDirs("src/main/resources") } }

  1. Sync your project with the Gradle files to apply the changes.

  2. You can now access the resources in your Kotlin code using the classpath. For example, if you have a file named example.txt in the resources folder, you can access it like this:

kotlin val inputStream = javaClass.classLoader.getResourceAsStream("example.txt") val content = inputStream.bufferedReader().use { it.readText() }

Adjust the file name and path according to your project structure.
