Accessing resource file in test directory in Symfony

Question

Currently I have directory structure like:

src
-App
--MyBundle
---Service
----DefaultService
tests
-AppMyBundle
--files
---data.csv
--Service
---DefaultServiceTest

I'm writting test for a file reader and I added data.csv file for demo file for a test. In my test I need to get a path of that data.csv file. But I couldn't find any way of getting it. I have tried accessing it via file_locator service like:

$locator = $this->container->get('file_locator');
$path = $locator->locate('@AppMyBundle/Tests/files/data.csv');

and

$locator = $this->container->get('file_locator');
$path = $locator->locate('@AppMyBundle/files/data.

With no luck. namespaces if necessary of my DefaultService is App\MyBundle\Service and for DefaultServiceTest is App\MyBundle\Tests\Service

I used $client->getContainer()->getParameter('kernel.root_dir') like this:

$client = static::createClient();

$schemaPath = sprintf(
    '%s/../tests/MyBundle/Resources/rss2.xsd',
    $this->_client->getContainer()->getParameter('kernel.root_dir')
);

You are outside from app/bundle system so try this code please:

$path = $this->get('kernel')->getRootDir() . '/../tests/AppMyBundle/files/data.csv';

Sadly this doesn't work. gives `InvalidArgumentException: Unable to find file "@AppMyBundle/Tests/files/data.csv"` error – Einius Feb 25 '17 at 10:35
Yea I thought about this option but also was thinking I could get a bit more independent path but I guess this will be the way I'll have to go – Einius Feb 25 '17 at 13:43
Giad to help you :) – Alessandro Minoccheri Feb 26 '17 at 06:43

I'm currently doing this when writing unit tests (which parse an Excel file) using Symfony 5, PHPUnit 7.5. My approach is much simpler. My tests are structured this:

tests
- Service
-- ManifestReaderTest.php
-- testdata
--- import_test_good.csv

Then within my ManifestReaderTest class, I have the following:

$this->assertFileExists(__DIR__ . "/testdata/import_test_good.csv" );

This way, I'm not reliant on external classes or services.
