am trying to configure the header 'Content-Type' from karate and I am not able to do so. I tried these * configure headers = {'Content-Type' : 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'} and * header Content-Type = 'application/json;charset=UTF-8'. But in the post call I am making , I always get Content-Type: text/plain which is wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot!
Actually, never mind. I got over this by just adding * header Content-Type = 'application/json' rather than Content-Type' : 'application/json**;charset=UTF-8. I removed ;charset=UTF-8. If i add this, it breaks. I get an error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: MIME type may not contain reserved characters
at org.apache.http.util.Args.check(Args.java:36).

I'm trying to set the value of the Content-Length property to 0 in my RAML file.
I first stumbled upon this thread : How to specify API request header value in RAML
When I tried implementing it with this code :
/update:
post:
description: Store updated data in database
headers:
Content-Length:
enum: [0]
body:
...
I got the response 400 Bad Request :
{
"code": "REQUEST_VALIDATION_ERROR",
"message": "Required header Content-Length is missing."
}
My IDE told me a string was expected but feeding with ["0"] didn't solve the problem.
(I'm testing my API specification in Mulesoft Design Center.)
So is there something I did wrong or is there another way to set the Content-Length to 0 in the request's header ?
You should only try to define custom headers in RAML. A required header of the HTTP protocol like Content-Length must not be defined. It should be automatically generated to prevent errors.
So I've managed to write a bunch of tests and in every feature file I set the same request headers.
For example:
Given url appUrl
And path '/path'
* header Accept = 'application/json'
I'd like to know if there's a way to set a header once so that it is set before each scenario is run. I've read the documentation and tried the callSingle method as follows in karate-config.js:
karate.callSingle('classpath:api/Utilities/Feature/header.feature');
header.feature looks like:
Feature: common routing that sets the headers for all features
Background:
* configure headers = { Accept : 'application/json' }
And example feature where I expect the headers to be preset:
Feature: Header Preset
Scenario: I expect the header to be set
Given url appUrl
And path '/path'
When method get
Then status 200
* print response
#I expect the response to be returned in JSON format
However I'm unable to get this working. I don't think I've understood how the callSingle method works. Some pointers would be helpful. Thanks.
Ignore callSingle for now and focus on configure headers.
I think you are missing one step - which is to ensure that configure headers has been "applied" before each Scenario. If you are 100% sure that this applies "globally", just do this in karate-config.js:
karate.configure('headers', { Accept: 'application/json' });
Else you use the Background (in each feature):
* configure headers = { Accept: 'application/json' }
Typically you have more steps that are common, so you have them in a "common" feature file and call that for every test. Refer: https://github.com/intuit/karate#shared-scope

Having a feature with only one scenario with more than one http calls, I want to use the same host and headers for all calls. However, although I am able to set the url to apply for all calls, the header seems to only be applied in the first call and then reset. Does someone have any info on why this is happening and/or a suggestion on how to do it correctly (besides adding them in each call separately)?
Either by setting them in the Background or with a generic Given, url is used in both calls, but the header is only included in the first:
1)
Feature: sample
Background:
* header Content-Type = 'application/json'
* url http://localhost:8080
Scenario: do multiple calls
Given path /sample/
When method GET
Then status 200
Given path /sample2/
When method GET
Then status 200
2)
Feature: sample2
Given header Content-Type = 'application/json'
And url http://localhost:8080
Scenario: do multiple calls
Given path /sample/
When method GET
Then status 200
Given path /sample2/
When method GET
Then status 200
You really really should read the documentation: https://github.com/intuit/karate#configure-headers
Just do:
Background:
* configure headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
And there are many more options, just read the docs. Note that you typically never need to set the Content-Type because Karate does that automatically based on the request body.
I had the same problem. It was fixed when I added the "Header" informations I always use to the "karate-config.js".
var accessToken = karate.callSingle("classpath:helpers/authentication.feature").accessToken
karate.configure("headers",{Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken})
I'm try to add binary file data directly to the request body of a POST call so I can simulate a file upload. However, I tried setting a 'before request' breakpoint and using 'insert file' but I couldn't seem to get that to work. I also tried to modify CustomRules.js to inject the file but couldn't figure out how to load binary data via JScript. Is there an easy solution here?
I'm sure this is a new feature in the year since this question was answered, but thought I'd add it anyhow:
There's a blue "[Upload file]" link in Composer now on the right side under the URL textbox. This will create a full multipart/form-data request. If you use this, you'll notice in the body you now have something that looks like this:
<#INCLUDE C:\Some\Path\my-image.jpg#>
In my case, I just wanted to POST the binary file directly with no multipart junk, so I just put the <#INCLUDE ... #> magic in the request body, and that sends the binary file as the body.
In order to send multipart/form-data, this receipe will be helped.
In upper panel (Http header), set Content-Type as below. Other values are automatically resolved.
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=-------------------------acebdf13572468
And, input Response Body at the below panel as follows.
---------------------------acebdf13572468
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="description"
the_text_is_here
---------------------------acebdf13572468
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="123.jpg"
Content-Type: image/jpg
<#INCLUDE *C:\Users\Me\Pictures\95111c18-e969-440c-81bf-2579f29b3564.jpg*#>
---------------------------acebdf13572468--
The import rules are,
Content-Type should have two more - signs than boundary words in body.
The last of the body should be ended with two - signs.
In Fiddler script: (in Fiddler: Rules... Customize Rules), find the OnBeforeRequest function, and add a line similar to:
if (oSession.uriContains("yourdomain"))
{
oSession.LoadRequestBodyFromFile("c:\\temp\\binarycontent.dat");
}
since version 2.0, the Request Body has an "Upload File..." link that allows you to post/upload binary data.
