Swift - How do I get the file path inside a folder

Question

I have a set of audio files inside a folder. I am able to access the file when the file is placed at main bundle, but if the files are moved inside the folder I am not able to access the files.

Code:

let audioFileName:String = "audioFiles/" + String(index) let audioFile = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource(audioFileName, ofType: "mp3")! 

I have an audio file inside the folder audioFiles and I would want to get its path.

Error:

fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

First make sure when you drag your folder audioFiles to your project to check copy items if needed and select create folder references. Make sure it shows a blue folder if your project.

Also NSBundle method pathForResource has an initialiser that you can specify in which directory your files are located:

let audioFileName = "audioName"   if let audioFilePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: audioFileName, ofType: "mp3", inDirectory: "audioFiles") {     print(audioFilePath) } 

If you would like to get that file URL you can use NSBundle method URLForResource(withExtension:, subdirectory:)

if let audioFileURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: audioFileName, withExtension: "mp3", subdirectory: "audioFiles") {     print(audioFileURL) }
