Is it possible to continue the execution of test step even if one of the assert/match fails?
Ex:
Scenario: Testing
* def detail = {"a":{"data":[{"message":["push","dash"]},{"message":["data","Test"]}]}}
* match detail contains {"a":{"data":[{"message":["push","dash"]}]}}
* print detail
Here match will fail but execution stop at that point.
is there a way to do a soft assertion so that next step gets executed?
EDIT in 2021 - a PR introducing a continueOnStepFailure flag was contributed by Joel Pramos here and is available in Karate 1.0 onwards. You can find more details here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66733353/143475
If you use a Scenario Outline each "row" is executed even if one fails.
Scenario Outline: Testing
* def detail = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
* match detail contains <expected>
Examples:
| expected |
| { a: 1 } |
| { b: 2 } |
| { c: 3 } |
Note that the concept of "soft assertions" is controversial and some consider it a bad practice:

For those looking for a way to show all mis-matches between 2 JSON objects, see this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61349887/143475
And finally, since some people want to do "conditional" match logic in JS, see this answer also: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50350442/143475

I am currently exploring karate framework. For scenario outline, trying to read a file in setup() , pass the data to Examples section and then use data in Scenario outline. Each scenario require data from different file: Ex: scenario 1 -> test1.csv scenario 2-> test2.csv. I have tried using setup() for each scenario outline as below but both scenarios reading data from first setup().
Is there a way to achieve this. Please let me know.
Feature: Test scenarios
#setup
Scenario:
* def data = read('test1.csv') # reading this file which is required in scenario outline - first scenario
Scenario Outline: first scenario
* print __row
Examples:
| karate.setup().data |
#setup
Scenario:
* def data = read('test2.csv') # reading this file which is required in scneario outline - second scenario
Scenario Outline: second scenario
* print __row
Examples:
| karate.setup().data |
Yes, read the documentation: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate#setup
You can give names to the #setup:
Feature:
#setup=myname
Scenario:
* def data = [{ a: 1 }, { a: 2}]
Scenario Outline:
* print __row
Examples:
| karate.setup('myname').data |
That said, my suggestion is don't over-complicate things when you start out with Karate. Just use separate feature files.

This question already has an answer here:
How to use cucumber table when it is code driven
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
I am new to Karate API, pardon me for the mistakes if any.
I want to generate multiple random UUID and then use them in scenario outline examples
Example:
Background:
def UUID = function() {return java.util.UUID.randomUUID() + ''}
Scenario outline: to do post call
Given url 'http://localhost:8080'
def UID = UUID()
print UID
And request {CID:"", name :""}
When method POST
Then status 201
Examples:
|CID| name|
|UID1| james|
|UID2| rahul|
Here in above 'Examples' I wanted to use randomly generated UUID in data table of examples so that I can run multiple scenarios for UUID with one POST API call.
First question: How can I generate multiple random UUID ?
Second question: once multiple UUID gets generated how can i call in scenario outline examples and use them?
Can anyone suggest me on this?
Please try running the following simple example.
Feature:
Background:
* def uuid = function(){ return java.util.UUID.randomUUID() + '' }
Scenario Outline:
* url 'https://httpbin.org/anything'
* param foo = uuid()
* request { item: '#(item)' }
* method post
Examples:
| item |
| first |
| second |
It will make 2 requests, and each request will use a different param called "foo" and the URL will be like this:
https://httpbin.org/anything?foo=c1b6ab3d-5952-413b-827c-d9579a0a93b6
So it is simple. Think of the Examples: as like a "loop". Each time the Scenario Outline runs, we are calling the uuid() function again, which will return a different, random value.
While using data-driven feature in Karate framework, I see the generated report just show the title as configured in Scenario Outline NOT attached the value using in Example table. It causes the Tester confuse which data is using, and take time to expand each scenarios to know which data is using; so I want the report can pass variable into the title - Scenario/Scenario Outline. Please take a look at the example below.
E.g.
Feature: Login Feature
Background:
* configure headers = { 'Webapp-Version': '1.0.0'}
Scenario Outline: As a <description> user, I want to get the corresponding response_code <status_code>
Given def path = 'classpath:features/Authentication/authentication.feature'
And def signIn = call read(path) {username: '<username>', password: '1234567890'}
Then match signIn.status == <status_code>
Examples:
|username | status_code| description |
|test#gmail.com | 200 | valid user |
|null | 400 | invalid user|
My expected result, the generated report should fill the value on table for field "status code" and "description" fields.
-> As a valid user user, I want to get the corresponding response_code 200.
Please share your ideas and comments on it.
Thanks,

Not supported. Just use the print syntax and you will see it in the report.
EDIT: okay this will be possible in the next version: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/553
I have a response with hundreds of attributes while matching the attributes the scripts getting failed and further steps are not getting executed. because of this we have to validate the same case multiple times to validate the attribute values. is they a option like #ContinueNextStepsOnException to execute all the steps and it is hard to script using karate.match(actual, expected) for more than 100 attributes I have give actual and expected values if in case of any failure to continue.
No, there is no such option. If your scripts are getting failed - it is because Karate is doing its job correctly !
If you feel you want to skip certain fields, you can easily do so by using match ... contains syntax.
I think you are using multiple lines instead of matching the entire JSON in one-line which you can easily do in Karate. For example:
* def response = { a: 1, b: 2 }
# not recommended
* match response.a == 1
* match response.b == 2
# recommended
* match response == { a: 1, b: 2 }
Is it so hard to create the above match, even in development mode ? Just cut and paste valid JSON, and you are done ! I have hardly ever heard users complain about this.
