java - 'System cannot find the specified file path' error - BlueJ

Question

I'm creating a Quiz program in BlueJ where I read in my questions.csv file and then break them up into an array of objects.

My Question file is located in the same directory as both my package file, and my .class files. I have already tried specifiying the absolute path file (C://Users ...), and also tried using the .getAbsoluteFilePath() method. None have worked.

If anyone has any solutions as to how I can read in the file successfully, that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Here is a screenshot of my project directory

Here is the section of my code which reads in the file

       String csv = "";
       String[] valueList = new String[4];
    
       // identify file
       String inputFile = ("questions.csv");
       // open file
       Scanner fileReader = new Scanner(new File(inputFile));
    
       // loop for every csv row, fetch from file and store
       for (int i = 0; i < questionList.length; i++) {
    
         csv = fileReader.nextLine();
         valueList = csv.split(",");
    
         // new instance of the Question class (record)
         questionList[i] = new Question(valueList[0], valueList[1], valueList[2], valueList[3], valueList[4]);
       }
    
       fileReader.close();
    } // end readQuestionFile()```
