How to parametrise a single Cucumber API test Scenario with Multiple Json request in KARATE framework

Question

As of now, I have a single cucumber scenario which runs with a json file with single API request. I want to run the same scenario for multiple API request using same json. So I can verify multiple api test.

@Test1

Feature: Test_Multiple_API_Karate

Scenario: Exe - Individual Rule

* url restBaseApi
* configure headers = read('classpath:headers.js')
* def caseRequest = read('../data/caseRequest.json')
* def caseExpectedResponse = read('../data/caseExpectedResponse.json')


Given path ‘case-Karate-request’
And request caseRequest[i]
When method POST
Then status 200
Then print response
And match response == caseExpectedResponse[i]

We need to run karate request with caseRequest.json (as mentioned below)

[ { "srId": "1-2A1”, "process": “Information”, "area": “Software”, "subArea": “Technical”, "status": “Open” }, { "srId": “1-2A2”, "process": “Manufacture”, "area": “Software”, "subArea": “SAP”, "status": “Closed” } ]

How to run this scenario with the test data for both request in single execution.

Answer 1

please look into the documentation for Data Driven Scenarios

@Test1

Feature: Test_Multiple_API_Karate

Background: 
* def caseRequest = read('../data/caseRequest.json')
* def caseExpectedResponse = read('../data/caseExpectedResponse.json')

Scenario Outline: Exe - Individual Rule

* url restBaseApi
* configure headers = read('classpath:headers.js')


Given path ‘case-Karate-request’
And request __row
When method POST
Then status 200
Then print response
And match response == caseExpectedResponse[__num]
Examples:
|caseRequest|

I also suggest you merge both JSON array into the singe JSON to avoid any confusion on index while altering
