If you are just trying to pre-define schema snippets to use in a fuzzy-match, you can use enclosed Javascript to suppress the default behavior of replacing placeholders. """, # note how we returned an array from the above when the condition was met, # and now we can use the results like normal. Any valid XPath expression is allowed on the left-hand-side of a match statement. By now, it should be clear that JsonPath can be very useful for extracting JSON trees out of a given object. You also have the option of setting multiple cookies in one-step using the cookies keyword. There are multiple Karate API testing examples we are going to show you in this series. Sending a file as the entire binary request body is easy (note that multipart is different): The HTTP verb - get, post, put, delete, patch, options, head, connect, trace. For details of scope and visibility of variables, see Script Structure. The documentation on how to run tests via the command line has an example of how to use tags to decide which tests to not run (or ignore). Uses the configured highlightDuration. This is really convenient in dev-local mode. If the argument passed to the call of a *.feature file is a JSON array, something interesting happens. """, # given this invalid input (string instead of number), # but this 'combined form' will fail, which is what we want, # * match date == { month: '#number? The keywords Given When Then are only for decoration and should not be thought of as similar to an if - then - else statement. Also note how you can wrap the LHS of the match in parentheses in the rare cases where the parser expects JsonPath by default. When you have a runner class in place, it would be possible to run it from the command-line as well. Karate Ui automation. Might be desirable instead of, useful to brute-force all keys and values in a JSON or XML payload to lower-case, useful in some cases, see, functional-style map operation useful to transform list-like objects (e.g. It is always start with Question mark (?). You can replace the values of com.mycompany and myproject as per your needs. So how can you get this value injected into the Karate configuration ? Karate Framework for web automation. # and even ignore fields at the same time ! Use either the param keyword, e.g. By default, all actions such as click() will not be re-tried - and this is what you would stick to most of the time, for tests that run smoothly and quickly. This is a normal JUnit 4 test class ! Simple, clean syntax that is well suited for people new to programming or test-automation. It returns the Element representation of whichever element was found first, so that you can perform conditional logic to handle accordingly. The default setting for the max retry-attempts is 3 with a poll interval of 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds). For JSON, you can also use the JS delete operator via eval, useful when the path you are trying to mutate is dynamic. JsonPath and Karate expressions are not supported. See also responseStatus if you want to do some complex assertions against the HTTP status code. Note: In GET API request, we do not need to provide the body (payload). Both the official Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ plugins support step-through debugging of Karate tests. When eyeballing a test-script, think of the * as a bullet-point. The classpath is a Java concept and is where some configuration files such as the one for logging are expected to be by default. For some SPAs (Single Page Applications) the detection of a page load may be difficult because page-navigation (and the browser history) is taken over by JavaScript. Technology Partner But to be able to run JUnit 5 tests from the command-line, you need to ensure that the latest version of the maven-surefire-plugin is present in your project pom.xml (within the / section): To run a single test method, for example the testTags() in the example above, you can do this: Also look at how to run tests via the command-line and the parallel runner. IMPORTANT: There are some restrictions when using callonce or karate.callSingle() especially within karate-config.js. This will always hold the contents of the response as a byte-array. Since a scroll() + click() (or input()) is a common combination, you can chain these: This returns an instance of Mouse on which you can chain actions. The steps which are defined under background will run before each and every scenario for a feature file. It is also possible to invoke a feature file via a Java API which can be useful in some test-automation situations. var sdf = new SimpleDateFormat('yyyy/MM/dd'); The set of built-in functions that start with wait handle all the cases you would need to typically worry about. Refer to the documentation for cookie for details and how you can disable this if need be. Navigates to a new page / address. all the key-value pairs are added to the HTTP headers. The scenario expression result is expected to be an array of JSON objects. { "roomInformation": [{ "roomPrice": 618.4 }], "totalPrice": 618.4 }, Gherkin has a great way to sprinkle meta-data into test-scripts - which gives you some interesting options when running tests in bulk. A common need is to move (or hover) the mouse, and for this you call the move() method. In some rare cases you need to exit a Scenario based on some condition. And this example may make it clear why using Karate itself to drive even your UI-tests may be a good idea. But if you need to use values in the response headers - they will be in a variable named responseHeaders. The contents of my-signin.feature are shown below. Also see waitForEnabled() which is the preferred short-cut for the last example above, also look at the examples for chaining and then the section on waits. * url myUrl. It typically ends up being a one-liner that appears in the Background section at the start of your test-scripts. # but using karate.range() you can even do this ! This should make it clear why Karate does not provide out of the box support for any particular HTTP authentication scheme. : * param myparam = 'value' or url: * url 'http://example.com/v1?myparam'. Karate supports JUnit 5 and the advantage is that you can have multiple methods in a test-class. """, # karate's unified data handling means that even 'match' works, # which means that checking if a cookie does NOT exist is a piece of cake, # check if the response status is either of two values, # this may be sufficient to check a range of values. Refer to polling.feature for an example, and also see the alternative way to achieve polling. { Important: do not use the @RunWith(Karate.class) annotation. # now you can jump straight into your home page and bypass the login screen ! If you want to pretty print a JSON or XML value with indenting, refer to the documentation of the print keyword. You use the listen keyword (with a timeout) to wait until that event occurs. Ideally it should return pure JSON and note that you always get a deep clone of the cached result object. But since the optional() API is designed to handle the case when a given locator does not exist, you can write some very concise tests, without needing to examine the returned object from waitForAny(). So most of the time this would be sufficient: Since it will result in the following request to the WebDriver /session: But in some cases, especially when you need to talk to remote driver instances, you need to pass specific shapes of JSON expected by the particular implementation - or you may need to pass custom data or extension properties. And Karate gives you control over these aspects with the small set of keywords focused on HTTP such as url, path, param, etc. The not equals operator != works as you would expect: You typically will never need to use the != (not-equals) operator ! Note that Map translates to JSON, and JavaBean getters and setters translate to JS properties - e.g. In addition to fields,
