For suppressing sensitive information such as secrets and passwords from the log and reports, see Log Masking and Report Verbosity. You could always do this in two steps: As a convenience, embedded expressions are supported on the Right Hand Side of a match statement even for quoted string literals: And do note that in Karate 1.0 onwards, ES6 string-interpolation within backticks is supported: An alternative to embedded expressions (for JSON only) is to enclose the entire payload within parentheses - which tells Karate to evaluate it as pure JavaScript. Note that this example only does a string equals check on parts of the JSON, but with Karate you are always encouraged to match the entire payload in one step. You can refer to the Java interface definition of the driver object to better understand what the various operations are. Here are the few things you need to know. The above would result in a URL like: http://myhost/mypath?someKey=hello&anotherKey=foo. please replace RELEASE with the exact version of Karate you intend to use if applicable. It is based on Cucumber and uses the Gherkin Syntax. But normally a match statement is preferred unless you want a really descriptive error message. Do note that when passing JSON, the default Map and List representations should suffice for most needs (see example), and using them would avoid un-necessary string-conversion. JsonPath and Karate expressions are not supported. And such re-use makes it easier to re-factor tests when needed, which is great for maintainability. Please refer to the wiki: Distributed Testing. results : null; The following scenario will make this clear. This is really convenient in dev-local mode. """, # yaml from a file (the extension matters), and the data-type of 'bar' would be JSON, """ A good example of the use of form field for a typical sign-in flow is this OAuth 2 demo: oauth2.feature. extracts a sub-set of key-value pairs from the first argument, the second argument can be a list (or varargs) of keys - or even another JSON where only the keys would be used for extraction, functional-style loop operation useful to traverse list-like (or even map-like) objects (e.g. ] Think of it as just like waitFor() but without the wait part. This means that as long as the token on file is valid, you can save time by not having to make the one or two HTTP calls needed to sign-in or create throw-away users in your SSO store. multipart file. While converting a number to a string is easy (just concatenate an empty string e.g. By Clicking on each step in report we can see the steps information. Note the inline use of the read function as a short-cut above. Embedded expressions also make more sense in validation and schema-like short-cut situations. Here is an example of how to get the current date, and formatted the way you want: And the above will result in something like this being logged: [print] 2017/10/16. A very rare need is to be able to convert a string which happens to be in YAML form into JSON, and this can be done via the yaml type cast keyword. So if you take the previous folder structure example, you can do this on the command-line: Here, AnimalsTest is the name of the Java class we designated to run the multiple *.feature files that make up your test-suite. And the JSON will still be well-formed, and editable in your IDE or text-editor. A good example is when you have the expected data available as ready-made JSON but it is in a different shape from the actual data or HTTP response. @smoke @module=one @module=two etc. Here are some examples: Take a look at how to loop and transform data for more ideas. The standard locator syntax is supported. You need to call a method on the driver object directly: The example below has the width, height and userAgent for an iPhone X. } Just ensure that this is configured before you use karate.callSingle(): By default Karate will use target (or build) as the cache folder, which you can over-ride by adding a dir key: This caching behavior will work only if the result of karate.callSingle() is a JSON-like object, and any JS functions or Java objects mixed in will be lost. Since paths are expected at the end of the command-line options - if you want to only over-ride tags, use the = sign to make argument values clear. Another (simple) example of a custom Target you can use as a reference is this one: karate-devicefarm-demo - which demonstrates how Karate can be used to drive tests on AWS DeviceFarm. Though not really recommended, you can have multiple Scenario-s within a Feature tagged with @setup. Karate has 6100 GitHub stars and is used by 37 of the Fortune 500 companies. It is worth pointing out that JSON is a first class citizen of the syntax such that you can express payload and expected data without having to use double-quotes and without having to enclose JSON field names in quotes. After that We will automate APIs of GitHub Repo V3. Karate and BDD Karate is built on top of Cucumber, another BDD testing framework, and shares some of the same concepts. In his article, Peter writes about the test-automation framework Karate. There are two variations. Setting values on JSON documents is simple using the set keyword. If you have a custom implementation of a Target, you can easily construct any custom Java class and pass it to configure driverTarget. The assert keyword can be used to assert that an expression returns a boolean value. Karate will traverse sub-directories and look for *.feature files. Other UI automation frameworks spend a lot of time encouraging you to follow a so-called Page Object Model for your tests. We can use this with param in And condition like below. The method argument is JSON, so that you can pass more data in addition to the value such as domain and url. A few special built-in variables such as $ (which is a reference to the JSON root) - can be mixed into JSON embedded expressions. Karate provides an elegant native-like experience for placeholder substitution within strings or text content. And yes, variables can come from global config. return sdf.format(date); Hard page reload, which will clear the cache. You can use * char instead of Gherkin keyword. function(arg) { Then use the header keyword to do a custom over-ride if needed. #(lang)#(user), """ Custom header manipulation for every HTTP request is something that Karate makes very easy and pluggable. Karate, created by Intuit a few years ago, has matured into a stable tool with unique functionality. It was first mentioned on Thoughtworks Technology Radar in April 2019 as a language/framework to assess. Gives many reasons why one should go for Karate over Selenium. And match (name) contains is how you can do so: Note that match contains will not recurse any nested JSON chunks so use match contains deep instead. All we need to do now is to tell Chrome to intercept some URL patterns and use the above mock-server feature-file: The entire example can be found here - and here is a video. function() { To reset so that you are back to the root page, just switch to null (or integer value -1): There are two forms, if a locator is provided - only that HTML element will be captured, else the entire browser viewport will be captured. Get the current page title for matching. } By default, all actions such as click() will not be re-tried - and this is what you would stick to most of the time, for tests that run smoothly and quickly. When you have a runner class in place, it would be possible to run it from the command-line as well. Of course it is an option to have Karate tests in a separate stand-alone maven project and folder, while still being in the same Git repository. And any variables which are alive in the context can be used in this expression. Of course this can be useful if the element you are seeking is diagonally offset from the locator you have. The keywords def, set, match, request and eval take multi-line input as the last argument. Here is a summary: Note that for the afterFeature hook to work, you should be using the Runner API and not the JUnit runner. The DockerTarget implementation has an example and you can find more details here. It can be easily inspected or used in expressions. Nowadays, most select (or multi-select) user experiences are JavaScript widgets, so you would be needing to fire a click() or two to get things done. Will poll using the retry() settings configured. """, """ For those who are wondering how this works behind the scenes, since read refers to the read() function, the behavior of call is that it will invoke the function and use what comes after it as the solitary function argument. Sending a file as the entire binary request body is easy (note that multipart is different): The HTTP verb - get, post, put, delete, patch, options, head, connect, trace. You can get really creative and use JS functions to filter data for different needs. sorts the list using the provided custom function called for each item in the list (and the optional second argument is the item index) e.g. Heres how it works for XML: This comes in useful in some cases - and avoids needing to use the set keyword or JavaScript functions to manipulate JSON. Might be desirable instead of, useful to brute-force all keys and values in a JSON or XML payload to lower-case, useful in some cases, see, functional-style map operation useful to transform list-like objects (e.g. And if being called in a loop, a built-in variable called __loop will also be available that will hold the value of the current loop index. 1. API tests are written in BDD (Behaviour Driven Development) Using Gherkin syntax. The Karate Demo has a working example of the recommended parallel-runner set up. Note that Content-Type had to be enclosed in quotes in the JSON above because the - (hyphen character) would cause problems otherwise. For performance reasons, you can implement enableForUri() so that this activates only for some URL patterns. Pay attention to the fact that the includes() function you see in the above example - is pure JavaScript. Also take a look at how a special case of embedded-expressions can remove key-value pairs from a JSON (or XML) payload: Remove if Null. Also refer to the wiki for using Karate with Gradle. object.name. When re-running tests in development mode and when your test suite depends on say an Authorization header set by karate.callSingle(), you can cache the results locally to a file, which is very convenient when your auth token is valid for a period of a few minutes - which typically is the case. The limitation of the Cucumber Scenario Outline: (seen above) is that the number of rows in the Examples: is fixed. Something worth mentioning here is that you would hardly need to use assert in your test scripts. And when you read your JSON objects from (re-usable) files, even complex response payload assertions can be accomplished in just a single line of Karate-script. And if you have a Scenario Outline, this happens for every row in the Examples. Karate is the only open-source tool to combine API test-automation, mocks, performance-testing and even UI automation into a single, unified framework. before you fire the method. a named JsonPath or XPath expression - e.g. You can ask for an element by its relative position to another element which is visible - such as a ,
