Karate Test

Basic configuration for API testing.

Prerequisities

Java 11 is needed to build and run application. Gradle is not required as it is provided embedded in application as wrapper.

Build

Application can be built using Gradle wrapper. Run this command under project root directory.

./gradlew gradle clean assemble

or

gradlew.bat gradle clean assemble

This step is responsible for application, building and packaging.

Run

Self-executable JAR

WIP – Main.java contains runnable method that works from IDE.

SpringBoot alternative is not considered in this example, but it could be beneficial in some cases.

Recommended executions

Run as step of CI tool or use standalone executor karate.jar available here https://github.com/intuit/karate/wiki/ZIP-Release

java -jar karate.jar my-test.feature

Configuration

Execution is configurable by Environment Switching, environments are described in karate-config.js file and can be switched, for example by setting -Dkarate.env=prod, tags can be enabled or disabled in same manner, for example -Dkarate.options="--tags ~@ignore" using karate.jar execution.
