How do I get access to resources in my test classes when using robolectric

Question

I have made a text file of values that I want to use for testing in res/raw
I want to use them in testing

What is the best way of accessing these values?

You can access your app's resources via your Application instance. Use ApplicationProvider to fetch it from within a unit test:

// replace 'Application' with your actual class if you use a custom one
ApplicationProvider.getApplicationContext<Application>().resources

Ensure includeAndroidResources is set to true in your build.gradle or your unit tests won't see your resources:

android {
    testOptions.unitTests.includeAndroidResources true
}
