File.exists() works but Files.readAllBytes() fails with NoSuchFileException

Question

I am trying to read a text file in Java and I get NoSuchFileException.

I tried to check if the file path exists and it returns true. Here is my code.

            final File actualFile = new File(filePath);
            if (actualFile.exists()) {
                log.info("ACTUALFILE exists");
            } else {
                log.info("ACTUALFILE does not exist");
            }

            String content = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(filePath)), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

I get the following exception.

ACTUALFILE exists

java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: my-file.json

at java.nio.file.Files.readAllBytes(Files.java:3152) ~[?:1.8.0_201]

Why is Files.readAllBytes() not able to find the file? Am I missing something here?
