Question

I am parsing XML file in scala using

val data = XML.loadFile(“changes.xml”)

I have the changes.xml under the src folder. When I run this the code throws a FileNotFoundException. Any idea how to solve it or any insight on how scala looks for the
files in the classpath would be helpful.

Answer 1

See what the current directory is using

new java.io.File(".").getCanonicalPath()

Since you’re opening the file with a relative path, it looks for the file in the process’s working directory.
