Reading lines from file in Scala

Question

Again Scala basic operations are making my life painful :D. So I have to read lines from file...just a trivial I/O operation.

In every example on internet they are doing:

import scala.io.Source

for(line <- Source.fromPath("integerArray.txt").getLines())
      println(line)

But my IntelliJ is throwing error : value fromPath is not a member of object scala.io.Source.

Does anyone knows what is problem here? ... I have installed last version of Scala few months ago and IntelliJ Scala plugin is also up to date so I doubt this might be a reason...

Answer 1

There is no fromPath in Source, just a fromFile, which accepts a String path. Good luck on Coursera.

Answer 2

There was Source.fromPath around 2.8. Briefly.

What, you're not using this version?

See? We just weren't paying attention.
