(Swift) Error when trying to load a local .css file

Question

In my app I have a folder named "CSS" with file named "style.css" in it.
When I try to load it, I get this error :

Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

This is the code where I am trying to load it :

let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "style", ofType: "css", inDirectory: "CSS")!
let cssString = try! String(contentsOfFile: path).trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)

Does this answer your question? What does "Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value" mean? — Ahmad Alfy

1 - make sure you included CSS/style.css (case-sensitive) in resource bundle at build time; 2 - never force-unwrap, check for errors instead with if or guard, e.g. guard let path = Bundle.main.path(...) — timbre timbre

The problem was in CSS folder. Everything works when I remove my style.css from CSS folder. — faris97

Ensure your file is present in the Build Phases > Copy Bundle Resources list

dont force unwrap , check for errors like this

   guard Bundle.main.path(forResource: "style", ofType: "CSS") != nil else {
        return
    }

    do {

    } catch let error {
        print(error)
    }
