You dont have to compile code. top: 483, name: John For example, where it is easy (or you already have a reference) to locate some element and you want to use that as a base to perform something on some other element which may not have a unique id or css / XPath locator. The above example can be re-factored in a very elegant way as follows, using Karates native support for JavaScript: The great thing here is that the innnerText() function can be defined in a common feature which all your scripts can re-use. By now, it should be clear that JsonPath can be very useful for extracting JSON trees out of a given object. Note that the set (multiple) keyword can build complex, nested JSON (or XML) from scratch in a data-driven manner, and you may not even need to read from files for many situations. For a call (or callonce) - payload / data structures (JSON, XML, Map-like or List-like) variables are passed by reference which means that steps within the called feature can update or mutate them, for e.g. In addition to fields, boxes are directly supported like this, so internally a find('select') is chained automatically: One reason why you would need near() is because an field may either be on the right or below the label depending on whether the container element had enough width to fit both on the same horizontal line. Once you get a result, you typically use it to set global variables. You can use callonce instead of call within the Background in case you have multiple Scenario sections or Examples. For details of scope and visibility of variables, see Script Structure. Karate Test Automation Made Simple. When a constant value keeps on repeating replace it with a variable. So when you use the combination of callonce in a Background, you can indeed get the same effect as using a @BeforeClass annotation, and you can find examples in the karate-demo, such as this one: callonce.feature. Technology Partner }". What this means is that it can be chained as you expect. How do i use javascript executor in Karate UI. All JS native array operations can be used, such as someName.reverse(). Karate Framework Test Automation Made Simple. function (customConfigJson, config) { The following parameters are supported: For end-to-end examples in the Karate demos, look at the files in this folder. This means that even when you have dynamic server-side generated values such as UUID-s and time-stamps appearing in the response, you can still assert that the full-payload matched in one step. """, """ This is just a convenience short-cut for waitUntil(locator, "_.textContent.includes('" + expected + "')") since it is so frequently needed. With the formalities out of the way, lets dive straight into the syntax. German or ISO-8859-15. 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. The answer is no. Variables set using def in the Background will be re-set before every Scenario. Look at multipart entity for an example. "b": 2, Note that the duration is in milliseconds. Karate Robot is designed for desktop application testing, but since you can click on anything in the viewport, you can achieve what you may not be able to with other automation frameworks. You have the option to adjust the scope of the match, and here are examples: Note that {:4} can be used as a short-cut instead of {*:4}. there is exactly one row and one column in the table. This will create a folder called myproject (or whatever you set the name to). Bloating your configuration can lead to loss of performance, and maintainability may suffer. You can re-use the function you create across your whole project. Some XPath expressions return a list of nodes (instead of a single node). We can return JSON and even an image using a mock like this: Refer to the Karate test-doubles documentation for details. { And yes, you can use an if statement in Karate ! A variation where the argument is JSON instead of a URL / address-string, used typically if you are testing a desktop (or mobile) application. // so now the txid_header would be a unique uuid for each request, // hard coded here, but also can be as dynamic as you want, // use the 'karate' helper to do a 'safe' get of a 'dynamic' variable, // the 'appId' variable here is expected to have been set via karate-config.js (bootstrap init) and will never change, # second HTTP call, to get a list of 'projects', # if foo is not defined, it will default to 42. 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. Of course this can be useful if the element you are seeking is diagonally offset from the locator you have. Karate uses LOGBack which looks for a file called logback-test.xml on the classpath. It can be easily inspected or used in expressions. function(arg) { Make sure that the batch file is made executable depending on your OS. ] Refer to karate.tags and karate.tagValues. Karate provides an elegant native-like experience for placeholder substitution within strings or text content. Refer to your IDE documentation for how to run a JUnit class. 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. This is technically not in the key-value form: multipart field name = 'foo', but logically belongs here in the documentation. This is a very powerful way to generate test-data without having to load a large number of data rows into memory. Here is an example JavaScript function that uses some variables in the context (which have been possibly set as the result of a sign-in) to build the Authorization header. This roughly corresponds to a cURL argument of -F @myFile=test.pdf. A very useful behavior when you combine the optional marker with an embedded expression is as follows: if the embedded expression evaluates to null - the JSON key (or XML element or attribute) will be deleted from the payload (the equivalent of remove). The not equals operator != works as you would expect: You typically will never need to use the != (not-equals) operator ! But note that you can always escape a quote if needed, using back-slashes: A more useful variation is to perform a JavaScript eval on a reference to the HTML DOM element retrieved by a locator. It is worth repeating that in most cases you wont need to set the Content-Type header as Karate will automatically do the right thing depending on the data-type of the request. And this framework is the only API testing tool that has combined API Automation and performance testing into a single standalone tool. Get the current page title for matching. "b": 4, To use the recommended --security-opt seccomp=chrome.json Docker option, add a secComp property to the driverTarget configuration. Automation Testing, Karate. But since the optional() API is designed to handle the case when a given locator does not exist, you can write some very concise tests, without needing to examine the returned object from waitForAny(). Another good thing that Karate inherits is the nice IDE support for Cucumber that IntelliJ and Eclipse have. The key should not be within quotes. Just triggers a click event on the DOM element: You can use this for plain-vanilla boxes that have not been overly enhanced by JavaScript. """, Then match each json.hotels contains { totalPrice, #? all And if you do this within a Background: section, it would apply to all Scenario: sections within the *.feature file. This mechanism works by calling configure cookies behind the scenes and if you need to stop auto-adding cookies for future requests, just do this: Also refer to the built-in variable responseCookies for how you can access and perform assertions on cookie data values. } This will also do automatically perform a karate.embed() - so that the image appears in the HTML report. # behind the scenes, it could be creating (or over-writing) a bunch of variables ! Each item within responseCookies is itself a map-like object. You can adjust configuration settings for the HTTP client used by Karate using this keyword. For some SPAs (Single Page Applications) the detection of a page load may be difficult because page-navigation (and the browser history) is taken over by JavaScript. var jd = new JavaDemo(); These are essential HTTP operations, they focus on setting one (un-named or key-less) value at a time and therefore dont need an = sign in the syntax. Note that it uses a string contains match, so you just need to supply a portion of the URL you are expecting. So it is recommended that you directly use a Java Function when possible instead of using the karate.toJava() wrapper as shown above. It is worth mentioning that to do the equivalent of the last line in Java, you would typically have to traverse 2 Java Objects, one of which is within a list, and you would have to check for nulls as well. Here are the configuration keys supported: If you need to set any of these globally you can easily do so using the karate object in karate-config.js - for e.g: In rare cases where you need to add nested non-JSON data to the configure value, you have to play by the rules that apply within karate-config.js. Note that the Java class does not need to be public and even the test methods do not need to be public - so tests end up being very concise. Note that Karate will fail the test if the waitUntil() returned false - even after the configured number of re-tries were attempted. Assuming the above code is in a file called my-headers.js, the next section on calling other feature files shows how it looks like in action at the beginning of a test script. Separate Scenario-s that can run in parallel are encouraged. A few special built-in variables such as $ (which is a reference to the JSON root) - can be mixed into JSON embedded expressions. name: 'John', But in that case you should de-dupe them using a name: And since it is common to run a @setup Scenario only once per-feature you can call karate.setupOnce(). You normally never need to use this in a test, Karate will close the browser automatically after a Scenario unless the driver instance was created before entering the Scenario. If you use the provided ScenarioRuntime.logger instance in your Target code, any logging you perform will nicely appear in-line with test-steps in the HTML report, which is great for troubleshooting or debugging tests. } In rare cases you may want to use a csv-file as-is and not auto-convert it to JSON. """, * configure imageComparison = { onShowConfig, # don't embed the image comparison UI when the latest image is the same / similar to the baseline (e.g. They can be very useful in some situations. What started as a powerful, scriptable framework combining API and UI test automation, is adopted as a best-practice today - in teams around the world. When you have a large and complex project, you will end up with a few data files (e.g. The signal to stop the loop is to return any not-null object. : * param myparam = 'value' or url: * url 'http://example.com/v1?myparam'. "arr": [ They are param, header, cookie, form field and multipart field. By default, the value of karate.env when you access it within karate-config.js - would be null. But one pattern that you should be aware of is that JSON is actually a great data-structure for looking up data. Valid options are, Resemble option to ignore a specific color, Resemble option to override preset tolerances for color and brightness, SSIM grayscale algorithm. After you have switched, any future actions such as click() would operate within the selected
