Cannot open/read local files in test. Throws FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path

Hi I am trying to read a json file in my test class.

test(
  'should return a valid model when the JSON is populated with images',
  () async {
    // Given
    File file = new File('resources/image_fixture.json');

    String jsonString = await file.readAsString();

    // When
    final result = Image.fromJson(jsonDecode(jsonString));

    // Then
    expect(result, subject);
  },
);

But when I read the file, I get the following error

FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = 'resources/image_fixture.json' (OS Error: No such file or directory, errno = 2)

This is my file structure

get it outside the test directory and:

String file = await rootBundle.loadString("/path/to")
