Breaking Changes

TestNG runner base class name change

KarateTest was re-named to KarateRunner to be consistent with the recommended naming conventions.

Before:

import com.intuit.karate.testng.KarateTest;

public class SmokeTest extends KarateTest {

After:

import com.intuit.karate.testng.KarateRunner;

public class SmokeRunner extends KarateRunner {

JS karate object does not support HTTP calls anymore

The karate.request() method is not available, so the below will not work any more.

var req = { url: loginUrlBase, method: 'post', body: { name: 'foo' } };
var res = karate.request(req);

This is because the ability to call other *.feature files introduced in v0.2.4 is sufficient for making (re-usable) calls. Do note that you can now make a call from JavaScript if really needed as described later.

New Features

JS karate object has a call method

The signature is karate.call(fileName, [arg]) and this works the same way that the call keyword works.

get keyword introduced

Now you can save the results of JsonPath expressions to variables:

* def cat = 
"""
{
  name: 'Billie',
  kittens: [
      { id: 23, name: 'Bob' },
      { id: 42, name: 'Wild' }
  ]
}
"""
* def kitnums = get cat.kittens[*].id
* match kitnums == [23, 42]
* def kitnames = get cat.kittens[*].name
* match kitnames == ['Bob', 'Wild']

JS karate object get method now supports JsonPath expressions

* def foo = { bar: [{baz: 1}, {baz: 2}, {baz: 3}]}
* def fun = function(){ return karate.get('foo.bar[*].baz') }
* def res = fun()
* match res == [1, 2, 3]

table keyword introduced

This is a super-elegant and easy way to convert a Cucumber data-table into JSON.

* table cats =
    | name | age |
    | Bob  | 2   |
    | Wild | 4   |
    | Nyan | 3   |

* match cats == [{name: 'Bob', age: 2}, {name: 'Wild', age: 4}, {name: 'Nyan', age: 3}]

Calling *.feature files in a loop for dynamic data-driven testing

If the argument to a *.feature call is an array, the call will loop over the array. More details at data-driven features.

* table kittens = 
    | name     | age |
    | Bob      | 2   |
    | Wild     | 1   |
    | Nyan     | 3   |

* def result = call read('cat-create.feature') kittens
