How to write a step in multiple line in Karate Framework? - karate

I'm calling an afterScenario function & for that I need to pass multiple parameter to log test step result to test management tool. My after scenario function looks like:
* configure afterScenario = function(){karate.call('Common.feature#qtestAutomation',{testdescription1: info.step1, expectedResult1: info.expectedResult1, status1: karate.scenario.stepResults[1].result.status})}
This will grow when test case has multiple steps so is it any better way to pass this parameters to afterScenario function or can we write this parameter in multiple line for better readability?

Karate is not designed for this. What you are trying to do is better handled with a Java RuntimeHook. Refer this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54527955/143475

KARATE- How to pass response from one scenario to other scenario in same feature [duplicate]

Does Karate supports a feature where you can define a variable in a scenario and reuse it in other scenarios in the same feature file. I tried doing the same but get an error. What's the best way to reuse the variables within the same feature file ?
Scenario: Get the request Id
* url baseUrl
Given path 'eam'
When method get
Then status 200
And def reqId = response.teams[0]resourceRequestId
Scenario: Use the above generated Id
* url baseUrl
* print 'From the previous Scenario: ' + reqId
Error:
Caused by: javax.script.ScriptException: ReferenceError: "reqId" is not defined in <eval> at line number 1
Use a Background: section. Here is an example.
EDIT: the variable if in the Background: will be re-initialized for every scenario which is standard testing framework "set up" behavior. You can use hooks such as callonce - if you want the initialization to happen only once.
If you are trying to modify a variable in one scenario and expect it to be now having that modified value when the next Scenario starts, you have misunderstood the concept of a Scenario. Just combine your steps into one Scenario, because think about it: that is the "flow" you are trying to test.
Each Scenario should be able to run stand-alone. In the future the execution order of Scenario-s could even be random or run in parallel.
Another way to explain this is - if you comment out one Scenario other ones should continue to work.
Please don't think of the Scenario as a way to "document" the important parts of your test. You can always use comments (e.g. # foo bar). Some teams assume that each HTTP "end point" should live in a separate Scenario - but this is absolutely not recommended. Look at the Hello World example itself, it deliberately shows 2 calls, a POST and a GET !
You can easily re-use code using call so you should not be worrying about whether code-duplication will be an issue.
Also - it is fine to have some code duplication, if it makes the flow easier to read. See this answer for details - and also read this article by Google.
