how to dynamically set an value in json read from file in Karate
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have my request body in a *.json file and same *.json request body with different parameters is used in multiple test scenarios. How to pass variables in this scenarios.
I tried below
* def requestBody = call read ('successScenario.json') { id: 'U123', age: 23, date: currentDate }
And request requestBody
Please note I can't use examples as one of my variable is currentDate function so how to pass currentDate variable via examples.
This is not working. If I don't pass parameters here it works fine. I don't want to define these parameters in karate-config.js file as it is scenario dependent variables.
When I use above in *.js file it works fine but the response body is JSON i can't make a *.js file for that.
Please note that there is no such thing as call read('some.json'). In other words, JSON is not something you can call.
Please take some time to read this part of the docs: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate#call-vs-read
If you want to "data drive" a JSON file, use "embedded expressions".

Is it possible to evaluate a variable inside a call read() in karate? [duplicate]

I have a requirement like this -
feature1 calls the featurebase file.
In featurebase file, I am reading a json.
I want to configure the file reading via featurefile1.
I have my scripts like this.
FeatureBase -
Background:
* url baseUrl
* def requestBody = read('#(file)')
Feature1 -
Background:
* url baseUrl
* def callFeature = call read('FeatureBase.feature') { file: 'json1.json'}
This code doesn't work and gives me file not found error.
The '#(foo)' trick applies only to JSON. Please read this: https://github.com/intuit/karate#rules-for-embedded-expressions
Please change your code to:
* def requestBody = read(file)
Yes it is that simple, just like plain JavaScript.
I want to set a Global variable for Base Test Data location which can be used in all of my feature files.
In karate-config.js i have made below changes -
var config = {
env: env,
INPUT_JSON_PATH: 'com/company/project/module/TestData'
}
And in my feature file I am trying to use it as -
Given path '/myService'
And request read('classname:INPUT_JSON_PATH/Exception_Handling/Mandatory_Fields_missing.json')
When method POST
Then status 400
But somehow its not getting resolved and I am getting error -
could not find or read file: classname:INPUT_JSON_PATH/Exception_Handling/Mandatory_Fields_missing.json
Any idea, what am i missing here?
Thanks,
Abhi
Just keep in mind that read() and other parts of the right-hand-side are treated as ordinary JavaScript. Maybe you were intending to do this:
And request read('classpath:' + INPUT_JSON_PATH + '/Exception_Handling/Mandatory_Fields_missing.json')
I have defined one global variable in a Pre-request Script.
I want to compare this global variable with variable present in the response.
As the warning message says, you're running a very old version of Postman and it's probably the chrome extension.
This is now several major versions behind and the pm.* functionality is not included in that old version of the chrome extension.
Download the native application and start using the newest version of Postman. By not doing this, you're missing out on so many new features.
As #Danny mentioned, it is recommended to update to the latest version.
Now to your question, if you want to compare the global variable with workkard_number present in response, you need to first parse the response and get the workkard_number in it, which you can then compare with your global variable. You could try something like this in your test script:
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
var responseWorkkardNumber = jsonData.wokkard_number;
You can retreive the workkard_number in the response like this(assuming that your response is a json with "workkard_number" as a key in it. Then you can compare it as follows:
tests["workkard_numbers are equal"] = responseWorkkardNumber === globals.workkard_number;
or
tests["workkard_numbers are equal"] = responseWorkkardNumber === pm.globals.get("workkard_number");
Also note - "Warning - Environment and global variables will always be stored as strings. If you're storing objects/arrays, be sure to JSON.stringify() them before storing, and JSON.parse() them while retrieving." - https://www.getpostman.com/docs/v6/postman/environments_and_globals/manage_environments
I have got the response in the background to one of the request and passing to the function for polling purpose and need to run until specific condition met. In that function, I need to pass the values to the calling feature JSON file
while (true) {
var result = karate.call('extractProgress.feature') packageid; -- package id
is response of another request
I followed the similar way as mentioned but in that not passing any parameter.

But i am getting the below error
feature(com.intuit.karate.testng.KarateTestngTest):
java.lang.RuntimeException: javascript evaluation failed: packageid,
ReferenceError: "packageid" is not defined in at line number 1
Input for call inside js should be given as
karate.call("<featureFile>",yourInputVaraible);
refer this on doc
https://github.com/intuit/karate#the-karate-object
It sounds wrong to me, maybe you have a typo.
Also please read the docs carefully. Only JSON is supported as a call argument.
The best way for you to get support is to follow this process, else no one can help you with the limited info you seem to be providing in your questions.

I'm very new at JMeter issues.
In a test script i have a BeanShell PreProcessor element that updates some variables previously defined at a "User Defined Variables" element.
Latter those variables are used in "Http Requests". However, the value that is used in the http request is the default one.
The scripts seems to be working due to some debug print();
My question is if it's necessary to delay the script to be sure that the BeanShell finishes?
Thanks a lot for your attention
There is no need to put any delay to Beanshell Pre-Processor as it's being executed before request. I'd recommend to check your jmeter.log file to see if there are any scripting issues as Beanshell Pre-Processor does not report errors anywhere including View Results Tree listener.
There are at least 2 ways to assure that everything is fine with your Beanshell script:
Put your debug print code after variables replace logic to see if it fires
Use JMeter __Beahshell function right in your HTTP request. If it's ok - View Results Tree will demonstrate beanshell-generated value. If not - the field will be blank and relevant error will be displayed in the log.
Example test case:
Given following Test Plan structure:
Thread Group with 1 user and 1 loop
HTTP GET Request to google.com with path of / and parameter q
If you provide as parameter "q" following beanshell function:
${__BeanShell(System.currentTimeMillis())}
and look into View Results Tree "Request" tab you should see something like:
GET http://www.google.com/?q=1385206045832
and if you change function to something incorrect like:
${__BeanShell(Something.incorrect())}
you'll see a blank request.
The correct way of changing existing variable (or creating new if variable doesn't exist) looks like
vars.put("variablename", "variablevalue");
*Important: * JMeter Variables are Java Strings, if you're trying to set something else (date, integer, whatever) to JMeter Variable you need to cast it to String somehow.
Example:
int i = 5;
vars.put("int_i", String.valueOf(i));
Hope this helps.
You can update the vale of a "user defined variable".
You have to create a bean shell sampler
vars.put("user_defined_variable", "newvalue");
#theINtoy got it right.

I'm new to jmeter too but as I know variables defined in "User defined variables" are constants, so you can't change them. I recommend to use "User Parameters" in preprocessors or CSV Data Set Config.
