Karate Beginner Tutorials 9 | Config File Demo | karate-config.js

Today we will learn:
How to create
How to use
Multi environment testing

Can be used to
Store global variables
Configure execution environment, base URLs, Timeouts etc
Karate reads this file before executing any scenario

Step 1 - Create a new file in src/test/java
Step 3 - Create JavaScript function and add configuration

The Key Values defined in the JSON object are available to all feature files

function fn() {

var config = {
name : "test123",
}

if(env == 'qa'){
}

else if(env == 'dev'){
}

else{
}

return config;
}

No need to call, it is called by default
Must keep the file under src/test/java

The value for configurations can be passed from
TestRunner
Command Line

TestRunner Example:
@BeforeClass
public static void before() {
}

Command-line Example:
mvn test -Denv=qa
