How to call some other feature for each execution of json array loop

Question

    * def runOperation1 = read('classpath:ic/common/resources/operation/runOperation.feature')
* def operationInputData = read('classpath:ic/feature/streaming/TestData/operationData.json')
* def result = call runOperation1 operationInputData
 * def AllResponse = $result[*].response
 * print AllResponse

Here 'AllResponse' are populated after completion of all executions from json array. For each json array we need to call some other feature and assert some value. Then we need to traverse for another element in json array

I see 2 ways for this,

1, Add that additional step of calling another feature and assertion also into your runOperation.feature

2, Instead of call Create a dynamic scenario outline for a scenario in runOperation.feature and add your call step inside that scenario

EDIT :

Assume operationData.json as,

[
 {"name": "Johan"}, 
 {"name": "Ben"}
]

Assume runOperation.feature as

Feature: run operation feature
 Scenario: run operation Scenario
     Given url "http://httpbin.org/get"
     And path name
     And method get
     And status 200

Assume anothercall.feature as

Feature: another call feature
 Scenario: another call scenario
     Given url "http://httpbin.org/get"
     And path name
     And method delete
     And status 200

Now your current feature can be,

Background:
  * def operationInputData = read('classpath:ic/feature/streaming/TestData/operationData.json')

Scenario Outline:
  # steps from runoperation.feature
  Given url "http://httpbin.org/get"
  And path <name>
  And method get
  And status 200
  # calling another feature
  Then def anotherCall = call read("anothercall.feature") {"name": <name>}
  # match / assert condition
 Examples:
 |operationInputData|

I suggest going with the second option as the first one can lead to unnecessary complication.

Hi Babu, <steps in run feature expects the json array values. But json array values are not passed to the request using scenario outline.

Anupama Over a year ago

Any help will be appriciated. As we need this for testing 5000 requests per day for external application. When I print the 'opeationInputData ' it is properly printing the json array.

my bad.. then you cant use dynamic scneario outline.. Can you upgade to 0.9.1 ??

Anupama Over a year ago

Hi Babu, your suggested solution is working perfectly fine in 0.9.1. Thank you for super simpler response. Karate is just amazing :) Hats off to Intuit and its developers :)
