Beginner - loading new screen in javafxml

[jagged schooner]

    void onActionCreateAnimal(ActionEvent event) throws IOException {

        stage = ((Stage)((Button)event.getSource()).getScene().getWindow());

        scene = load(getClass().getResource("Create-Animal-Menu.fxml"));
        System.out.println(scene);
        stage.setScene(new Scene(scene));
        stage.show();

    }```

This is causing an error:
```Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Location is required.

I have spent some time on this, I know it has to do with the specified path for the Create-Animal-Menu.fxml as it's returning null. I have tried various different paths (Path from content root / Path from Source Root / even absolute root starting from C:\)

I am working within the CreateAnimalController, and I have added a screenshot from the intelliJ hierarchy. I think I am just getting tunnel vision on this whole thing, so I am reaching out to see what I am missing. New to programming in general.

Self-resolved with /woods/classdemo/classdemo/Create-Animal-Menu.fxml - of the many times I tried, I must have missed the leading / - figured it was something stupidly simple :/
