Just like how the response information can be accessed through response, responseHeaders etc, is there any way to access the request information? I noticed that request information is not available through variables. Are there are any workarounds to access this information?
I understand that we build the request ourselves in the test scenario using the Given, When steps, so it may sound redundant. The reason I'm looking for this is I would like to access the complete request details Karate would've built using our test definition. The idea is to make this information available to a java class which can be called through the Java Interop. More specifically, I'm trying to build a swagger request and response validator to be used from karate.
The workaround I am using is to explicitly create variables like apipath and apimethod and use them with path and method. This does the job, but still one has to ensure that these variables are explicitly set. It will be cleaner if whatever request Karate built is just accessible through a variable.
Please raise a feature request. We can look at making this available as karate.request or similar.

When using .Net application,
and checking error logs,
getting below error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Most probably you're sending the wrong request due to missing or improperly implemented correlation
So if you have recorded a request using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder most probably there is at least one parameter there which is supposed to be dynamic, to wit
extracted from the previous response using a suitable JMeter Post-Processor
stored into a JMeter Variable
and the dynamic variable to be sent along with the request instead of recorded hard-coded value
In .NET web applications the most commonly used parameter is ViewState, however other may also be required like EventValidation
so given you properly handle these dynamic parameters you should start getting "good" responses, see ASP.NET Login Testing with JMeter for example handling of the dynamic parameters.
Also don't forget to add HTTP Cookie Manager to your test plan.
One of the param for my API is security related and linked to the environment on which the test would run , essentially it will be dynamic.
Since this is security related, I have an internal rest API that provides this data.
I want to understand what is the effective way of getting this data in Karate feature?
I have tried two different ways:
1. Defined a java util and invoke the java type and def variable for holding the data
Defined a Util method as part of karate-config.js
In karate-config.js
function getSomeData(someValue) {
return Java.type('xyz.abc.util.MyUtil');
}
In the feature file
defined a JS
* def dataFromJS = read('classpath:com/xyz/util/js_that_invokes_rest.js')
I want to understand if there is a pattern of how this should be done or if there is an explicit support in Karate for doing this?
I have an internal rest API
Well. Did you just forget that Karate is all about making REST requests !? :)
Please create a re-usable feature, make that REST call, define the variables that you need and now you can call it from other features.
Please refer to the documentation: https://github.com/intuit/karate#calling-other-feature-files
I'm trying to make an integration with Grafana, using Simple-Json databse plugin.
I configured the integration but needed some help on the Restler part.
I created a class (Compliance) in an instance of Restler that will fetch information from a database. I am accessing this class through the url http://ws.server.com.br/service/inventory/index.php/compliance
This is working fine, however the SimpleJson plugin needs to implement the following endpoints to work:
/
/search
/query
/annotations
The endpoint / is returning correctly, however I am having problems with the other endpoints.
Debugging the requests that are made in the webserver, I see that grafana is trying to make a post in the url http://ws.server.com.br/service/inventory/index.php/compliance/search, but error 405 occurs (method not allowed).
I know I need to implement a function post in this URL, but if I create this function in my class Compliance it is referring to the class itself, not the search method.
Does anyone have any idea how to do this?
405 means the URL is available but not for the specific method that is used which I assume is POST in this case, I guess your class us Compliance and method name is search. If you add a method named postSearch it will receive the grafana request
I'm learning about the case for asynchronous module definition (AMD) from here but am not quite clear about the below:
It is tempting to use XMLHttpRequest (XHR) to load the scripts. If XHR
is used, then we can massage the text above -- we can do a regexp to
find require() calls, make sure we load those scripts, then use eval()
or script elements that have their body text set to the text of the
script loaded via XHR.
XHR is using ajax or something to make a call to grab a resource from the database, correct? What does the eval() or script elements have to do with this? An example would be very helpful
That part of RequireJS' documentation is explaining why using XHR rather than doing what RequireJS does is problematic.
XHR is using ajax or something to make a call to grab a resource from the database, correct?
XHR is what allows you to make an Ajax call. jQuery's $.ajax for instance creates an XHR instance for you and uses it to perform the query. How the server responds depends on how the server is designed. Most of the servers I've developed won't use a database to answer a request made to a URL that corresponds to a JavaScript file. The file is just read from the file system and sent back to the client.
What does the eval() or script elements have to do with this?
Once the request is over, what you have is a string that contains JavaScript. You've fetched the code of your module but presumably you also want to execute it. eval is one way to do it but it has the disadvantages mentioned in the documentation. Another way to do it would be to create a script element whose body is the code you've fetched, and then insert this script in the DOM but this also has issues, as explained in the documentation you refer to.
I'm writing functional test and having difficulty mocking http:request-config with oauth2. It failed at requesting for token. I tried moving the config to a separate file and create a different config in src/test/resources and include only the test config when testing. Now it complains about "name must be unique" - how do I get around this?
Be sure that your getConfigFiles() override does not include the configuration file that contains the original . This means it will need to be in a separate file from the one containing the flow you are testing.
Another method is to use a mock HTTP server such as sham-http.
In order to test Mule application you can use MUnit:
http://developer.mulesoft.com/docs/display/current/MUnit
It will allow you to mock message processors.
Now, config elements are top level elements. Those can not be mock.
I would suggest you take a look to documentation to see if the tool fit your needs.
