How to get id in responseHeaders location? - karate

For my POST request, in responseHeaders I get 1 < location: /users/123
I would like to print only the id > 123.
When I do * print responseHeaders['location'][0] in my feature file, I get users/123. How I can get only the id?

This is not really a Karate question is it :P
Try this:
* def location = responseHeaders['location'][0]
* def userId = location.substring(location.lastIndexOf('/') + 1)
* print userId
That's right, all the power of JavaScript (or even Java via Java interop) is available to you in Karate !

Calling common scenario from another scenario in same feature file where request body is store in json file in karate [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
how to dynamically set an value in json read from file in Karate
(1 answer)
Closed 1 year ago.
I am a bit confused and need some clarify on this
Background:
* def successBody = 'util/successRequestBody.json'
#test1 #ignore
Scenario: Verify user
Given url
* def id = id
* def requestBody = read (successBody)
And request requestBody
When method post
Then status 201
#test2
Scenario: First create new user and then delete same user
* def id = '123'
# First call POST user to create a new user
* def postuser = call read('user.feature#test1') {id: id}
Given url
When method delete
Then status 204
I am providing value in request body for creating new user like this in successRequestBody.json
{
"id": "#(id)",
"name": "abc"
}
The above doesn't work. But when I provide like this it works. Please guide how the parameters should be passed in calling a feature from another. I am passing variable name id from test2 while calling test1 but in test1 it is reading id1 not id? Can someone please explain?
Background:
* def successBody = 'util/successRequestBody.json'
#test1 #ignore
Scenario: Verify user
Given url
# I am setting variable name id from test2 but here it is reading id1 not id?
* def id = id1
* def requestBody = read (successBody)
And request requestBody
When method post
Then status 201
#test2
Scenario: First create new user and then delete same user
* def id1 = '123'
# First call POST user to create a new user
* def postuser = call read('user.feature#test1') {id: id1}
Given url
When method delete
Then status 204
The call syntax is wrong, you have to use embedded expressions:
* def postuser = call read('user.feature#test1') { id: '#(id1)' }
Here's a tip. It is not mandatory to pass parameters. Variables in the "caller" will be visible to the "called" feature. This below has the same effect as above.
* def id = id1
* def postuser = call read('user.feature#test1')
Please read the documentation and examples carefully. If still stuck, follow this process: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/wiki/How-to-Submit-an-Issue

Use variables in json path expressions [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
How to use a variable in JsonPath filter
(1 answer)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have a feature file to retrieve the data from csv file for the given parameter. In order to do it, I need to use a variable in the JsonPath expression to retrieve data for given parameter. I tried may ways, but using variable in jsonPath is not working. I'm using 0.9.4 version
I tried the below ways:
* def userId = get[0] testData[?(#.UserType=='${userType}')].UserId
* def userId = get[0] testData[?(#.UserType==userType)].UserId
* def userId = get[0] testData[?(#.UserType=='#(userType)')].UserId(I suppose this can only be used in json/xml)
Below hard coded value works fine:
* def userId = get[0] testData[?(#.UserType=='SuperAdmin')].UserId
Called feature:
Feature: Utility to extract the various types of data from excel datasource
Background:
* def DataUtility = Java.type('com.org.utils.DataUtility')
* def dataUtils = new DataUtility()
* def testData = read('classpath:testdata/TestData.csv')
Scenario: Retrieve userId for a given user type
* def userId = get[0] testData[?(#.UserType=='${userType}')].UserId
Calling feature:
* table params
| userType |
| 'SuperAdmin' |
* def extractedData = call read('DataExtractor.feature') params
* def userID = extractedData[0].userId
I have tried using variables in Json Path.
Example:
String elementPath = "$.[" + i + "].item.value";
In this statement, i is a loop variable. After this pass it to the read api of DocumentContext.
It has worked perfectly fine for me.
I am using JsonPath & DocumentContext from jayway to achieve this.
import com.jayway.jsonpath.DocumentContext;
import com.jayway.jsonpath.JsonPath;

How can I set base API? I see double quotes getting added from the first API's response

Given path '/api/metrics/product/ABC'
When method get
* def id = get response
* print id
* def basePathProducts = '/another/api/' + id + '/param'
Given path basePathProducts
When method GET
Then status 200
12:59:28.447 [main] INFO com.intuit.karate.StepDefs - [print] "5ca627bf3edd851238e59c9e" Apr 16, 2019 12:59:28 PM org.glassfish.jersey.logging.LoggingInterceptor log SEVERE: 2 * Sending client request on thread main 2 > GET
http://localhost:8080/API/ANOTHER/API/%225ca627bf3edd851238e59c9e%22/PARAM
I think you are overcomplicating things and you missed that the path syntax is designed for what you commonly need to do.
Don't def basePathProducts and do this, see how the id variable can be easily plugged into a path:
Given path 'another', 'api', id, 'param'
Your post is really hard to comprehend.
Try using
Given url yourURLVariable + 'another/api/'+ id + '/param'
Refer to this for more information : https://stackoverflow.com/a/54477346/10791639
Edit :
There is a problem with your parameter.
* def id = "5ca627bf3edd851238e59c9e"
* print id
Gives :
13:24:19.783 [print] 5ca627bf3edd851238e59c9e
So your variable id is "5ca627bf3edd851238e59c9e" instead of 5ca627bf3edd851238e59c9e
* def newresp = function(id){ return id.slice(1, -1); }
* def id = newresp(response)
I added these to remove the first and last characters from the response which is the double quotes in my case. Thanks for responding guys!

Can I run example in scenario outline for n times?

I want to run examples for n times , n is the length of data of getHotelid.
Feature: match rates from ds api to pricing api.
Background:

Examples:
|dq.getHotelid()|
This is look a like Karate - Not able to run dynamic scenario outline in a loop
Your Examples should be as below,
Examples:
|dq.getHotelid()|

Dynamically set a XML tag value while building payload

I am trying automate testing using Karate.
I have a XML payload.
I have a static XML payload which I am readying from a file and I want to call my service in loop.
For each call I would like to replace value for a tag name dynamically.
How would I achieve this?
e.g.
Below is my Main Feature which calls my common feature in loop
Feature: Loop Call
Background:
* def common = call read('classpath:CommonFeatures.feature')
Scenario:
* table table
| payload_file | field_tag | field_value |
| 'HappyPath.xml' | 'car_fuel' | 'Gas' |
| 'HappyPath.xml' | 'car_color'| 'Red' |
* def response = call read('classpath:Car.feature') table
Car.feature
Feature: Common
Scenario:
* print payload_file
* print field_tag
* print field_value
* xml payload = read('classpath:/payload/'+payload_file)
* print payload
* set payload/$field_tag = field_value
This is where I have issue setting the field_tag value.
I have other option to do this like writing a small java script method to replace the tag value or a small java class which use DOMParser or SAXParser to perform the same.
However I would like to know if there is any karate in build way to perform the same.
Also while using java script method to replace the tag value if I am using var parser = new DOMParser(); and it seems DOMParser is not available to use. Is there a way to make this available?
I think if you go through this sample, it will answer all your questions:
https://github.com/intuit/karate/blob/master/karate-junit4/src/test/java/com/intuit/karate/junit4/xml/xml.feature
For example this is how you can substitute values, as well replace a whole chunk of XML (which can include tags) using the set keyword:
Scenario: set xml chunks using xpath
* def req = read('envelope1.xml')
* def phone = '123456'
* def search =
"""
<acc:getAccountByPhoneNumber>
<acc:phoneNumber>#(phone)</acc:phoneNumber>
</acc:getAccountByPhoneNumber>
"""
* set req /Envelope/Body = search
* match req ==
"""
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:acc="http://foo/bar">
<soapenv:Header />
<soapenv:Body>
<acc:getAccountByPhoneNumber>
<acc:phoneNumber>123456</acc:phoneNumber>
</acc:getAccountByPhoneNumber>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
"""
And please don't think of using DOMParser etc, you will be able to do anything you need via Karate syntax.
Thanks to Peter for all help and the examples.
I feel this is the best way to achieve this.
Wrote a small javascript function
"""
* def replaceTag =
"""
function(x){
karate.setXml('temp', x.payload);
karate.pretty(karate.get('temp'));
if (x.field_tag) karate.set('temp', x.field_tag, x.field_value);
return karate.get('temp');
}
"""
and calling the same from Car.feature like below and I get the dynamically replaced payload.
Feature: Common
Scenario:
* print payload_file
* print field_tag
* print field_value
* xml payload = read('classpath:/payload/'+payload_file)
* print payload
* def args = { payload: #(payload), field_tag: #(field_tag), field_value: #
(field_value)}
* print args
* xml payload = call common.replaceTag args
Note: I had to upgrade Karate 0.7.0 version in order to use karate.setXml method.
