what is wrong in this java file path?

Question

im getting the "Can't read input file!" in next chunk of code

try {
            slate = ImageIO.read(new File("flor.jpg"));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

why is that happening if the image is in the same place with the .java file ?

Maybe the input file is not found? It should be at the root folder of project — J Asgarov, May 03 '21 at 03:23
Path is relative to your current directory: the directory from which you run the program, not the directory of the class file necessarily. — Mad Physicist, May 03 '21 at 03:28

Run below code to check if your image is listed current directory

File file = new File(".");
for(String fileNames : file.list()) System.out.println(fileNames);
