Send scenario result in after scenario hook to external endpoint

[stefdaems]

I want to be able to send the scenario result (testName + status) to an external endpoint, right after the execution of the scenario.

My karate-config looks like this:

function fn() {   
  var config = { // base config JSON
    testPusher: function(testResult) {
      var url = 'http://localhost:5000';

      var data = JSON.stringify(testResult);

      fetch(url, {
        headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8" },
        method: 'POST',
        body: data
      })
    }
  };
  return config;
}

In de Background part of my feature I've added

Background:
  * configure afterScenario = 
    """
    function(){
      var info = karate.info; 
      karate.log('after', info.scenarioType + ':', info.scenarioName);
      var status="Fail";
      if(!info.errorMessage){
        status="Pass";
      };
      var testResult = {
        testName: info.scenarioName,
        result: status
      }
      testPusher(testResult)
    }
    """

Fetch seems to be unknown to karate, so is there any possibility to add fetch (or node-fetch or axios...) to the modules which can be used.

If I'm totally missing out on the way of doing it, what will be the best approach to send me the result of each scenario in the afterscenario hook?

@stefdaems answered on stack overflow. also keep in mind that karate is an http client so you don't need fetch and what not. also see this thread for other ideas: #619

[stefdaems]

Thanks for the quick response @ptrthomas but this still kept me a bit in the dark. The docs referred to aren't shining much light on my question.

Does this indicate I don't need to use the afterscenario any longer and look for the ExecutionHook to be implemented somewhere, somehow?

I expect the need to implement something like Kafka.post(url, body, header)....

@stefdaems you can use any karate feature in afterScenario, here is an example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51467470/143475 - and karate can make http calls

there are more examples in the karate-demo

if that doesn't work, then go for hooks

you can't use npm / random js libraries in karate

if you read the other thread, you may find that it may be much more convenient to send all results at the end of your tests rather than complicating things and having brittle moving parts inside your tests.
