Karate: How can we retrieve the value from called feature file - karate

Question

I have two parameter in feature file A and I pass those values to another feature file called B.
But I am unable to retrieve the values as expected in Feature file B
CODE:
Feature File A:
And def Response = response
And def token = response.metaData.paging.token
And def totalPages = response.metaData.paging.totalPages
* def xyz =
"""
function(times){
for(currentPage=1;currentPage<=times;currentPage++){
karate.log('Run test round: '+(currentPage));
karate.call('ABC.feature', {getToken:token, page:currentPage});
}
java.lang.Thread.sleep(1*1000);
}
"""
* call xyz totalPages
Feature File B:
* def token = '#(getToken)'
* def currentPage = '#(page)'
But the output was
#getToken
#page
What would be the best way? to these values for further utilization.

Answer 1

Try this:
* def token = getToken
* def currentPage = page
Here's another thing, any variable defined in the calling feature will be visible, e.g. token so most of the time you don't need to pass arguments:
* print token
* print totalPages
Please avoid JS for loops as far as possible: https://github.com/intuit/karate#loops - and actually you seem to have missed the data-driven testing approach that Karate recommends: https://github.com/intuit/karate#the-karate-way
