Karate UI : data driven testing not working properly when used driver.quit() - karate

Question

We are exploring Karate UI(already using Karate for API testing). For exploring purpose we are using https://www.delta.com/ and its working fine. However have observed following behavior while implementing data driven test
Following is the simple feature file for search destination
Feature: Karate UI POC
Background: To set the browser driver
* configure driver = { type: 'chromedriver', executable: "path to exe"}
* def data=
"""
{
fromDes: '#(from)'
}
"""
Scenario: Launch the application search for the valid flights
Given driver 'https://www.delta.com/'
* driver.maximize()
* waitUntil("document.readyState == 'complete'")
* waitForEnabled('#fromAirportName').click()
* waitForEnabled('#search_input')
* clear('#search_input')
* input('#search_input',data.fromDes)
* driver.quit()
From data.feature file I am making a call to above feature file as follows
* table destinations
| from |
| 'NEW YORK' |
| 'BOSTON' |
* call read('delta.feature') destinations
On executing the test I am getting following error
17:26:55.443 [main] ERROR com.intuit.karate - org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to localhost:9515 [localhost/127.0.0.1, localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1] failed: Connection refused: connect, http call failed after 2054 milliseconds for URL: http://localhost:9515/session/6fa82b59df1c1c845974c2f52d481d11/url

1) However if I remove statement driver.quit() test is working fine.
2) Is it a right approach for data driven testing in Karat UI, as we are using it quit well in Karate API

Answer 1

You don't need to use quit() at all, Karate will do it automatically.
Can you also try with version 0.9.6.RC3
If you still see an issue, follow this process and we will make sure it is fixed: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/examples/ui-test
