Hi,

In a junit test:

public void testSendMsgWithAttachment(){
        try {
                SendMessage send = new SendMessage();
                send.sendMsg(from, to, cc, bcc, subject, text, attachment);
                fail("Test failed since no IOException was thrown");
            } catch (Exception e) {
                fail("Test failed du to unexpected exception" + e.toString());
            }

}

The String 'attachment' is the path to attachment-file.

I have the file ( Attachment.txt) in my package structure (CVS):

net.sourceforge.app.message.test

How can I get a path as String that is possible to use in my tes ( so I
can retrieve the attachment).

cheers,

First, your test looks wrong.
public void testSendMsgWithAttachment(){
   try {
      SendMessage send = new SendMessage();
      send.sendMsg(from, to, cc, bcc, subject, text, attachment);
      fail("Test failed since no IOException was thrown");
   } catch (IOException e) {
   } catch (Exception e) {
      fail("Test failed du to unexpected exception" + e.toString());
   }
}

To get the URL of the attachment try:
URL attachmentUrl = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("net/
sourceforge/app/message/test/Attachment.txt");
