[libGDX] Classpath loading fails to work

Engines, Libraries and Tools
#1

I have created my own custom wrapper for AssetManager that loads file using classpath file handle resolver (and later I can get resources only by file name, not the whole path) which works fine. But when I try to load classpath files using Gdx.files.classpath() method, in Eclipse I have to put the source folder name res in the path for it to work and when I export it even with or without the source folder in file’s path, it fails to work.

I tried to create my own custom loader for those files, but that doesn’t work either. In fact, I had to create a whole new project and copy all the files in there because my custom loader somehow messed up all other loaders.

I’ve basically tried everything and nothing works, so my last resort is posting here on JGO in hope for someone to magically appear with the solution. I’m stuck and I cannot finish my project without the possibility to load those level files from classpath. I thought about other solutions, like just putting those files in the same folder as JAR, but I still want to know if someone knows the fix for loading from classpath.

This works both in Eclipse and the exported JAR:


FileEncryptor.initialize();
        
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character1.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character2.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character3.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character4.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character5.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character6.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character7.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character8.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character9.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Character10.png", Texture.class);
        
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Floor.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Wall.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Box.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/Goal.png", Texture.class);
ResourceManager.load("Graphics/BoxOnGoal.png", Texture.class);
      
Level.loadLevels();

This works in Eclipse, but not the exported JAR:

FileHandle file = Gdx.files.classpath("res/Levels/easy.data");

This doesn’t work in Eclipse AND the exported JAR

FileHandle file = Gdx.files.classpath("Levels/easy.data");

UPDATE #1: Added a screenshot of the exported JAR:

#2 

FileHandle file = Gdx.files.classpath("Levels/easy.data");

Maybe the eclipse exporter does not *.data files as resources? Have you looked into the Levels folder inside of the exported jar?

I accidently found where the error was. I was trying to read FileHandle using BufferedReader which would require me to use FileHandle’s method file() and in Javadoc this is what it says about that method:

I didn’t know about FileHandle’s method readString() which reads the whole file into a string, so I decided to use BufferedReader. But now that I know, I’m so happy I can continue with the project.
