I am trying to access the test files in my working directory(from where I initiate the test run) during runtime. I used the following code to get the absolute path of the file during runtime.

In short I was trying to get the workspace path from where I run the Bot scripts and used the following code.

Code snippet
*********************************************************************************

@Test
public void setup1() throws Exception{
URL url = new URL(Activator.getDefault().getBundle().getEntry("/"),
"testdata/main.aql");
}
******************************************************************************

But I get the follwing compile errors and warnings .

Multiple markers at this line
- The method getBundle() is undefined for the type Activator
- Discouraged access: The method getDefault() from the type Activator is not accessible due to restriction on required library C:\eclipse\plugins
\org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.4.100.v20100505-1235.jar
- Discouraged access: The type Activator is not accessible due to restriction on required library C:\eclipse\plugins
\org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.4.100.v20100505-1235.jar

Can someone help me resolve the above errrors ?

Atlast I got it working as i just need the absolute path of a file and the following line worked .

System.out.print(new File("testdata/textanalytics/test_files/src/main.aql").getAbsolutePath());

Please note that when you use the relative file path do not start with a '/'.
