Can I use ConfigSlurper to reference a config file in the classpath?

Question

I want to use the contents of a config file in several ways, including in integration tests and in my BootStrap. If my config file is under src/groovy and is called "com.corp.MyConfig.groovy", what should I pass to the ConfigSlurper parse method?

Answer 1

I guess what happens is that your Groovy file gets compiled and ends up being a class in your binary directory (classpath). Instead of trying to load it via the URL try to load the script class.

Class scriptClass = getClass().classLoader.loadClass('com.corp.MyConfig')
ConfigObject config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(scriptClass)

Answer 2

If your config file is available on the classpath, I would suggest using ClassLoader.getResource() to get it:

URL url = MyClass.class.getClassLoader().getResource("com/corp/MyConfig.groovy");
config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(url);
