ResourceLocation not working, getting purple & black texture

[Babbaj]

I have an image file in src\main\resources\assets\forgehax and im creating a ResourceLocation as

private ResourceLocation waifu = new ResourceLocation("forgehax","image.png");

and when i use it the code I do

GlStateManager.pushMatrix();
MC.renderEngine.bindTexture(waifu);
drawTexturedModalRect(topX, topY, 100, 100);
GlStateManager.popMatrix();

 

but in the game i get the purple and black texture which means the texture is missing

 

I've confirmed that "forgehax" is the correct modid and that the image extension is lowercase and ive read this post and I still have no idea why this doesnt work

 

What am I doing wrong?

Is your resources folder marked as a source folder?

I ended up getting it to work

 

also every time i compiled the image became corrupted and i had to manually replace it with winrar
