Karate reports stopped showing server response when I upgraded version

In the previous versions of Karate (before upgrading to 1.3.1) when I had this in the reports:

enter image description here

the "When method post" was clickable and you could see the server response. This was extremely useful for debugging (and to use tests as living documentation as BDD states), but now it is not clickable anymore.

Is there some way to have it back without downgrading to previous version of karate?

Thanks

Solution

  • Hours later I realized the cause of the problem. I have to tell that Karate's reports implementation is a bit weird because it takes the reports input directly from the logs so it depends on your logs configuration.

    In one of the latest updates of Karate its package changed from karate.org to intuit.karate, so my log configuration in logback-test.xml got outdated because it was written in terms of karate.org.

    Why was I mentioning karate.org in my logs? Because I have to set Karate logs to be at DEBUG level so I can see them, otherwise they will be lost because real systems default log level is INFO. If those logs are required for the reporting tool maybe Karate should set them at INFO level.

    Note that Thymeleaf package also changed from karate.thymeleaf to org.thymeleaf because probably you will also want to disable it in a real system (Can I disable the 'thymeleaf' report from the karate log).

    PD: I love the tool, but I don't think that downvoting questions or understimate this issues will help real users.
