Pass additional parameters to karate-config.js via

Question

I have additional settings that I need to pass to Karate when running via Maven that will be available in karate-config.js. Currently I can pass in a string using the karate.env property - is it necessary to encode my parameters as a JSON object and pass them in via this one property or can I do something like:

mvn test -DargLine="-Dkarate.env='production' -Dkarate.clientid='1234567890' ...

Such that I can then reference karate.clientid in karate-config.js where I can save it into the returned config object.

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here...

Answer 1

Yes ! Refer to the documentation for karate.properties['karate.clientid'].

Here is an example karate-config.js

Answer 2

I've found but I didn't used examples. What I've done:

• in gradle:

  task api(type:Test) { systemProperty "karate.clientId", System.properties.getProperty("karate.clientId")... }

• in karate-config.js (in var config):

clientId: karate.properties['karate.clientId'] || 'xyz'

• in command line:

'-Dkarate.clientId=abc' If I don't set clientId in my command line, the clientId will be 'xyz'
