In the karate project I am trying I have used karate's ability to assert database entries. And I was looking for a way to insert SQL scripts as a 'given' inside the test rather than calling a java class. Did not see any example in the demo project of karate. What would be the ideal way to do this?

If you have already seen the JDBC demo and still feel that is too complicated, then I'm sorry - look for another framework :)

Also see this example if it helps: https://twitter.com/KarateDSL/status/1144458169822806016

And the whole Given When Then approach is over-rated, see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47799207/143475

  • I never mentioned that it's complicated. I just didn't find an example with sql insertion as a prerequisite and wanted to know if there's an ideal way of doing the insertion. – Niron Rasanjana Perera Sep 04 '19 at 12:50
  • @NironRasanjanaPerera you said "rather than calling a java class" which is the same thing. anyway, lets assume I have no idea what you mean by "as a 'given'" and please assume that there is no better way. and by the way please stop the twitter reminders, there is no need – Peter Thomas Sep 04 '19 at 12:54
  • Sorry about that and I think you have misunderstood the question. I was not asking for a better way. In the demo project you have done database assertions within test. I was asking for a way to insert the data to the db like that. – Niron Rasanjana Perera Sep 04 '19 at 12:59
  • @NironRasanjanaPerera think hard and then answer this question - do you really think what you are asking is a "Karate" question or a "SQL" question. and why don't you do a search here for Karate and JDBC and see what you find: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51996544/143475 – Peter Thomas Sep 04 '19 at 13:04
  • I did not see this question and seems like it is the same question I have. Anyway thanks I will work on it. – Niron Rasanjana Perera Sep 04 '19 at 17:38
