I have a DELETE.feature file written like this
<code>Scenario: DELETE api/v1/session/delete_session
Given path 'api/v1/session/delete_session'
And param session_id = _session_id
When method delete
Then status 200
</code>
<code>Scenario: DELETE api/v1/session/delete_session
Given path 'api/v1/session/delete_session'
And param session_id = _session_id
When method delete
Then status 200
</code>
Scenario: DELETE api/v1/session/delete_session
Given path 'api/v1/session/delete_session'
And param session_id = _session_id
When method delete
Then status 200
Now I would like to call this feature file and pass the array of _session_id so we can do multiple deletion.
In the parent feature file, I have written a background process like this:
<code> Background:
* def sessionIdList = ['abc','def']
* def delete = call read('j_session_delete_session.feature' {_session_id: '#(sessionIdList)'}
</code>
<code> Background:
* def sessionIdList = ['abc','def']
* def delete = call read('j_session_delete_session.feature' {_session_id: '#(sessionIdList)'}
</code>
Background:
* def sessionIdList = ['abc','def']
* def delete = call read('j_session_delete_session.feature' {_session_id: '#(sessionIdList)'}
The issue is Karate tries to issue a single DELETE option with multiple parameters
e.g. DELETE …/api/v1/session/delete_session?session_id=’abc’&session_id=’def’
Question: How do I write the background task to enable multiple DELETE calls?
Note:
The closest article I can find is in here but it doesn’t quite answer my question 🙁
Karate For loop to get ids based on pattern and then use a delete feature
I think you missed the part that the parameter to a call has to be an array of JSONs. Try this:
<code>* def sessionIdList = [{id:'abc'},{id:'def'}]
</code>
<code>* def sessionIdList = [{id:'abc'},{id:'def'}]
</code>
* def sessionIdList = [{id:'abc'},{id:'def'}]
And then:
<code>And param session_id = id
</code>
<code>And param session_id = id
</code>
And param session_id = id
There are many ways to turn an array of strings into an array of JSON objects, for e.g.
<code>* def data = sessionIdList.map(x => ({ id: x }))
</code>
<code>* def data = sessionIdList.map(x => ({ id: x }))
</code>
* def data = sessionIdList.map(x => ({ id: x }))
