How to call a Javascript function with arguments from .js file in karate feature file

Lets say I created javascript functions in functions js file.

function getReviews(reviews){
var length_reviews = reviews.length return length_reviews }

function getReviewsLength(reviewLength){
return reviewLength }

Here in function getReviews argument reviews is an array. Now how will I call getReviews function in one feature file. When I tried below code

* def jsFunction = call read('functions.js') * def review = jsFunction.getReviews(reviewFromFeatureFile) I am getting an error of

Cannot read property "length" from undefined

I already printed reviewFromFeatureFile and its coming correctly in print statement.

As Peter mentioned above you can keep you js inline on your feature

* def reviews = [{"r1":2},{"r1":3},{"r1":4}]
* def getReviews = function(reviews){ return reviews.length }
* def getReviewsLength = getReviews(reviews)
* print getReviewsLength

In this example, it should print 3.

For more other options for handling javascript or other reusable modules in karate, please refer to this article

In one "common" feature file, define multiple methods like this:

* def uuid = function(){ return java.util.UUID.randomUUID() + '' }
* def now = function(){ return java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis() }

You can now call this feature like this:

* call read('common.feature')

And now all the functions in that feature are available for use:

* def id = uuid()
* def time = now()
