title: Groovy resource from classpath not loaded
body: <p>Good day everyone.</p>
  
  <p>I am using spock framework for testing in my groovy project(IDE - Intellij Idea 12.6). My spock specification class pass filename to groovy object for processing (that file is in classpath for sure), but when i try to get that file this way</p>
  
  <pre><code>    def resource = getClass().getClassloader().getResourceAsStream(filepath)
      assert resource != null : "No input stream found for path ${filepath}"
      def rootNode = new XmlParser().parse(resource)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then <code>resource == null</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I tried debugging and in Expression Evaluation windows this code <code>getClass().getResource(fileName)</code> returns resource.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to check which classloader used in first case (in class with the code) and in second case (Expression Evaluation window). </p>
  
  <p>In first case classloader was <code>sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@18dabf1</code>, but in Expression Evaluation window classloader was <code>groovy.lang.GroovyClassLoader$InnerLoader@1e69757</code> I suppose that's the reason my resource was null. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone guide me about what I am doing wrong and how can I load that resource file ?</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Changed the way resource file was parsed. When <code>filepath</code> - full path to file this works, but if <code>filepath</code> is just file name and that file in classpath then <code>resource == null</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE2</strong>:</p>
  
  <p>Change the way resource file loaded, clean up dependencies bit and all is working, I guess yesterday just wasn't my day. </p>
