Hi, so I am using FlashBuilder 4, and I'm using FlexUnit4 to create unit tests.
For some tests I need to load a file as input. I can't seem to load a
file from a relative path. All the air examples have you use the
static defined places and want you to navigate from there (e.g.
File.documentsDirectory), but this isn't really a good option for
running unit tests.
My project structure is the standard Flex layout.
Let's say I have this:
src/assets/file.txt
When the project builds, this is copied into
bin-debug/assets/file.txt
The .swf that has the test runner also executes from bin-debug, so why
can't I do this:
var file:File = new File("assets/file.txt");
When I do, it throws an exception. Same thing if I try
var file:File = new File();
file.nativePath = "assets/file.txt";
Interestingly enough, I can load this file using URLLoader, but that
seems to be the only way. It seem bizarre that URLLoader works, but
File does not, unless I am missing something?
Regards,
Davis
