04 Basic Payload - biswajitsundara/Karate GitHub Wiki

If we want to POST data then follow this approach

Feature: Basic Payload Test
  
  Background:
      * def jsonPayload = read('./data/data.json')
      * url 'https://reqres.in/api/users'

  Scenario: Create user details
    Given request jsonPayload
    And header Content-Type = 'application/json'
    When method POST
    Then status=201
    And print response

src\test\java\data\data.json

{
	"data": {
		"last_name": "Weaver",
		"id": 2,
		"avatar": "https://reqres.in/img/faces/2-image.jpg",
		"first_name": "Janet",
		"email": "[email protected]"
	},
	"support": {
		"text": "To keep ReqRes free, contributions towards server costs are appreciated!",
		"url": "https://reqres.in/#support-heading"
	}
}

}

• If we have multiple header information then use headers instead of header

And headers {Content-Type:'application/json', 'Accept:application/json'}

• If the header information is common to all scenarios then move it to background section and that's it

Feature: Basic Payload Test
  
  Background:
      * def jsonPayload = read('./data/data.json')
      * url 'https://reqres.in/api/users'
      * header Content-Type = 'application/json'

  Scenario: Create user details
    Given request jsonPayload
    When method POST
    Then status=201
    And print response

Sometimes we will see the end points this way /api/users?delay=10 whatever comes after the question mark is the query parameter and then the value for the parameter. We need to use param delay = 10 to add the parameter to the end point

  Scenario: Create user details with delay
    Given request jsonPayload
    And param delay = 10
    When method POST
    Then status=201
    And print response

If we want to pass multiple parameters then use And params {delay:10,cnty:ind} etc.This can be moved to background section also if its applicable to all the scenarios.
