does karate support send an array of parameter in URL param as one of my API was working as this way. Below was one of my API test url concept. It working fine when i do manually on postman. Not sure whether karate support this kind of format or not.
https<URL>?param={"firstname":"XXX","lastname":"XXX"....}
i have tried with param and params. however params will give me & instead of ,. while in param , it will show ?param=%7B%firstname%22%3A%22abc...
Karate can support it, I am still not clear what your request is from your question but let me try. Note that as per the HTTP spec - some special characters WILL be URL-encoded.
Try these:
And param param = '{"firstname":"XXX","lastname":"XXX"}'
And param firstName = ['XXX', 'XXX']
See this demo example for more ideas: params.feature
EDIT: if you need to create dynamic JSON that is possible, please read the docs for the set keyword. And below the JSON is being converted to a string - because that is what it looks like from your description (which I really doesn't make sense to me)
* set data
| path | value |
| firstName | 'XXX' |
| lastName | 'XXX' |
* string data = data
* param param = data

I just started to use Karate Gatling for performance tests and facing following problem:
I have a call for the search and would like to evaluate different types of search depending on the parameter e.G. https://example.com/search/facetedSearch
'*'
'keyword1'
'keyword1, keyword2' etc.
The feature file looks something like this:
#performance
Feature: Search
Background:
* url 'https://example.com/'
Scenario Outline: Search -> Simple search for a single word
Given path '/search/facetedSearch'
And param facetedSearchAdditionalFilter[searchAreaID] = -1
And param facetedSearchAdditionalFilter[searchKey] = '<SearchTermSimple>'
When method post
Then status 200
And assert iNumHits >= iNumHitsExpected
Examples:
| read('../testData/performanceTestData.csv') |
Scenario: Search -> Simple search for *
Given path '/search/facetedSearch'
And param facetedSearchAdditionalFilter[searchAreaID] = -1
And param facetedSearchAdditionalFilter[searchKey] = '*'
When method post
Then status 200
And assert iNumHits >= iNumHitsExpected
Scenario Outline: Search -> Search for multiple words
Given path '/search/facetedSearch'
And param facetedSearchAdditionalFilter[searchAreaID] = -1
And param facetedSearchAdditionalFilter[searchKey] = '<SearchTermMultiple>'
When method post
Then status 200
And assert iNumHits >= iNumHitsExpected
Examples:
| read('../testData/performanceTestData.csv') |
I would like to evaluate different types of search separately, as the performance is significantly different. What gatling does - it aggregates all different types of search in one result - "POST /search/facetedSearch".
Is there a possibility to let evaluate every type of search individually in one run?
Thanks in advance,
Sergej
Yes, refer the docs on using a custom nameResolver: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/tree/master/karate-gatling#nameresolver
For your case you should be able to call req.getParam("facetedSearchAdditionalFilter[searchKey]")[0] or something similar. Or you could choose to use an additional header.
I have a scenario where I am doing a GET call and on my table I have parameters defined. Now for the headers, I want to purposefully send incorrect values to make sure the test fails as expected. Not really sure how to do it though.
I have the following setup:
* table input
| machine | version | osSystem | status |
| machineName| version | windows | 401 |
My secondary file that the above calls on, looks like this:
Given url env
And path path
And header Content-Type = 'application/xml; charset=UTF-16'
And header Accept = '*/xml; charset=UTF-16'
And header key = key
When method GET
In above, I want to send bogus values for "key" header. Total of six bogus values (random alpha string, random number string, random alphanumerical value, random guid, etc). I have obviously tried entering the values as a json under "and header key = {}" but how do I make each request run EACH header per request, instead of running them all in one request?
Thank you in advance!
Try this example and observe how it works, it will answer all your questions:
Scenario Outline:
* url 'https://httpbin.org/anything'
* header foo = header
* method get
Examples:
| header |
| one |
| two |
And for an alternate way to "loop" refer to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69422451/143475
I need to pass multiple query parameters with the same name in a URL, but I am having problems getting it to work with Karate. In my case, the URL should look like this:
http://mytestapi.com/v1/orders?sort=order.orderNumber&sort=order.customer.name,DESC
Notice 2 query parameters named "sort". I attempted to create these query string parameters with Karate, but only the last "sort" parameter gets created in the query string. Here are the ways I tried to do this:
Given path 'v1/orders'
And param sort = 'order.orderNumber'
And param sort = 'order.customer.name,DESC'
And header Authorization = authInfo.token
And method get
Then status 200
And:
Given path 'v1/orders'
And params sort = { sort: 'order.orderNumber', sort: 'order.customer.name,DESC' }
And header Authorization = authInfo.token
And method get
Then status 200
And:
Given path 'v1/order?sort=order.orderNumber&sort=order.customer.name,DESC'
And header Authorization = authInfo.token
And method get
Then status 200
The first two ways provide the same query string result: ?sort=order.customer.name%2CDESC
The last example does not work because the ? get encoded, which was expected and explained in this post - Karate API Tests - Escaping '?' in the url in a feature file
It's clear that the second "sort" param is overriding the first and only one parameter is being added to the URL. I have gone through the Karate documentation, which is very good, but I have not found a way to add multiple parameters with the same name.
So, is there a way in Karate to set multiple URL query parameters with the same name?
Yes you can generate multiple query parameters with the same name in karate
All values of similar key should be provided in an array.
Given path 'v1/orders'
And params {"sort":["order.orderNumber","order.customer.name,DESC"]}
And header Authorization = authInfo.token
And method get
Then status 200
And for setting single parameter using param it will be like
And param sort = ["order.orderNumber","order.customer.name,DESC"]
In my feature I have:
* def loc = responseHeaders['location'][10]
* def id = loc.substring(loc.lastIndexOf('/') + 1)
And I would like to use id in scenario outline examples:
Scenario Outline: fkdfslqknfd
Given url 'foo.com'
And path <bar>
When method get
......
Examples:
|bar |
|(id)|
|"id"|
|'id'|
|id |> The last example is ok.
But instead of receiving 'foo.com/13' (assuming that id is 13) I have 'foo.com/id'. I tried with #, but it doesn't work. How I can replace this id? I need to test this id put in String format. Thanks
At least within JSON parameter, it was working for me
Examples:
| request_body |
| {username: '#(email)', password: '#(password)'} |
This is a known limitation of Cucumber, that the Examples cannot be dynamic. Refer to this last paragraph of the documentation: https://github.com/intuit/karate#the-karate-way
If you are really trying to loop over a feature with different values, again, refer to the above doc, and there are plenty of examples if you look around. Look at all the ones that start with call- here: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-demo
I have a list of IDs and Values in a file and would like to use postman to connect to an API and update the records found in this file.
I tried with the Runner but am stuck in writing the syntax.
The answer is pretty simple and very well explained on this page
You can start with the a basic "put/post" - try to modify one single data set with static values to determine how the final query needs to be build. In my case the API accepted only RAW JSON formated data payloads.
As soon as you have your static postman query running - you can start automating it by determining which parts should be replaced. This data should be found in a data file (JSON or CSV). The schema is important for postman to understand the data. As reference I state the example as if I would like to replace an ID and a Value. My data document has one more column which is not a problem.
+--------+--------+--------+
| id | email | value |
+--------+--------+--------+
| data 1 | data 1 | data 1 |
+--------+--------+--------+
| data 2 | data 2 | data 2 |
+--------+--------+--------+
| data 3 | data 3 | data 3 |
+--------+--------+--------+
Column two (aka email) will be ignored and not be used. Notice how "id" and "value" are written in the header.
I would like to replace the ID which needs to be attached to the API endpoint and like to update a value which is within the dataset of this ID. Replacing the static parts with variables like {{variable}} allows Postman to understand that it needs to fill dynamic data here.
Notice that the variable attached to the URL says that it is not defined in the environment - if you did not set it up in the environment, this is correct and will work with data files.
I used simple tests to confirm if the data of the file made it into my query:
tests["URL has ID"] = responseURL.has(data.id);
tests["Body contains SFID"] = responseBody.has(data.value);
If you reach this point - all there is left to do is to go to the runner page, select the query to run, add the data file (you should preview if everything looks okay) and run it.
