how to call a feature file to generated a Get request , for each element in an ArrayList or JsonArray ( Created by Java function )

Question

basically I want to achieve below result , where the list used in Examples: is dynamic

Scenario Outline:

• def ss = 'https:testingurl/'+ < spaceCode > + 'trailPath';

  Given url ss

  And header Authorization = autGetToken()

  When method get

  Then status 200

  Examples:

  | spaceCode |
  
  | space1|
  
  | spac2|
  
  | spaceAbc05|
  
  | space.o2|
  
  | spacesacc|
  
  | spacere |
  

So I created one.feture and tried to call it from other feature file

one.feature

Background:

• def ss = 'https:testingurl/'+ < spaceCode > + 'trailPath';

Scenario: need to run this scenario for each member of the spaceList ArrayList / JsonArray

Given url ss

And header Authorization = autGetToken()

When method get

Then status 200

* print response

* def count = response.value.length

* print count

* karate.set('total', karate.get('total') + karate.get('count') )

* print total

question

1. how to run above file for each element of the "spaceList" which is an Java ArrayList, i am creating this ArrayList by calling method getSpaceList()

i have tried to call it from other feature file like below

Method1

caller.feature

Background:

* def total = 0

* def helper = Java.type('shared.Helper')

Scenario Outline: calling other feature file for each element of the spaceList Array

def result = call read('one.feature')

Examples:

  | spaceCode |

  | helper.getSpaceList() |

Method2 caller.feature

Background:

* def total = 0

* def helper = Java.type('shared.Helper')

* def spaceList = helper.getSpaceList()  // this returns around 20 different elements from a sql

Scenario Outline: calling other feature file for each element of the spaceList Array

def result = call read('one.feature')

Examples:

  | spaceCode |

  | spaceList |

i have also tried karate.forEach and karate.setUp

Answer 1

Try this example. Note how it will make two POST requests. Once you understand this, you should be able to do what you want.

Feature:

Scenario Outline:
* url 'https://httpbin.org/anything'
* request __row
