karate - Unable to use classpath or relative path to read json payload data

Question

I have written a Karate scenario where my login is performed from a separate .feature file. I have the following directory structure:

src/test/java/feature/common/common.feature

When i want to call the above common feature file from another feature file which is in different folder (as below) it does not work:

src/test/java/feature/tests/test.feature

I have tried the following:

1.

• callonce read('feature/common/common.feature') and it does not work.

2. If i were to use classpath how would i write this call?

Answer 1

Using classpath: you will be able to access contents inside src/test/java if you follow standard karate workspace structure

Inorder to call / read,

* call read('classpath:feature/common/common. feature')

simply src/test/java can be replaced with classpath:
