How to make a negative test on the Endpoint

[bltemrah]

Hi there,

Please, can you let me know how I make a negative test as displayed below that I need to put nothing for "productKey" inside the path parameter in the Examples. Once I put "" or '' or just space, they do not work. In the Postman, it works when I delete only the part of the product key in the path parameter. FYI, space works in payload, not as in path parameter. Thanks in advance.

Feature: User should Get Account with ProductKey and Agent Token

Background:
.
.
.
# negative
Scenario Outline: Get Product with invalid ProductKey and Agent Token Negative Test
And header Authorization =
And path '/v1/products/agent/'++'/account'
When method GET
Then status

And match response..description contains ""

Examples:
  | number | Authorization | productKey            | status | error                             |
  | 1      | agentToken    | ""                    | 400    | must not be blank                 |
  | 2      | agentToken    | invalidProductKey     | 400    | Product key must be 36 characters |
  | 3      | agentToken    | productKeyNotIncluded | 404    | No account found for product key. |

@bltemrah follow this process. there are good reasons: https://github.com/intuit/karate/wiki/How-to-Submit-an-Issue

there was some discussion around path parameters here, see if that makes sense: #1561

and I recommend if you have a "special case" PLEASE write a new Scenario and DON'T mix it with Examples etc, it just lands you in trouble. take some time and read this please, maybe that is your solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54126724/143475
