Unable to print env within JS in a shared context

[digoo]

File: varAtJS.zip Could be related to #1322 #1327 #1280 but not duplicate as far I have tested.

It happened on releases: 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 and with develop branch. It used to work about ~20 days ago with develop branch.

It's a simple test:

Feature: 

Scenario: test
  * Common.printEnv()

Where we have at karate-config.js a common routine file being loaded and the var we want to log:

function fn() {    
  var env = karate.env;
  var Common = karate.call('classpath:routine/routineTest.feature');

  if (!env) {
    env = 'dev';
  }
  var config = {
    env: env,
    Common: Common
  }
  return config;
}

And the common routine file has a JS function trying to read the env variable:

Feature: Common routine file

Scenario: Common routines
    * def printEnv =
    """
       function() {
           karate.log('The Env:', env);
       } 
    """

Then it fails with:

one line change: var Common = karate.call(true, 'classpath:routine/routineTest.feature');

refer docs: https://github.com/intuit/karate#call-vs-read see 8the row

Thank you Peter for pointing to the missing detail!

I have tried with karate.callSingle() but it seems to not work. It's that designed to work that way? If not I could try to include this option there too I would just need your help to point a headstart on the code for me. Thank you once again.

@digoo not designed that way. I think it is fine as it is. if you need to pass any variables, do it explicitly:

karate.callSingle('some.feature', { some: 'value' });
