Reading from a text file is no longer working for our team, is anyone else seeing this issue?
The following previously worked (How would I read from a text file - #5 by Dave_Evers).

Import section:

import java.io.File.*

Test case body:

File file = new File('C:\\Users\\qatester\\Downloads\\TestFiles\\mytest.txt')
println file.getText("UTF-8")

Sorry folks this is working as expected we had a naming typo in our text file… File name was mytest…txt when it should have been mytest.txt The error was having two periods after the file name.

//Hardcoded path
File file1 = new File('C:/Users/qatester/Downloads/TestFiles/mytext.txt')
println file1.getText("UTF-8")

//system user path
def SysUserDownloadDir = (System.getProperty('user.home'))
Path SysUserPath = Paths.get(SysUserDownloadDir)
Path SysUserTestFile = SysUserPath.resolve('Downloads').resolve('TestFiles').resolve('mytext.txt')
def textFile = SysUserTestFile.toString()
println("textFile: " + textFile)
//result = textFile: C:\Users\qatester\Downloads\TestFiles\mytext.txt
File file2 = new File(textFile)
String FileContents = file2.getText("UTF-8")
println FileContents
