json files and called features not found in jenkins (with Karate Framework)

Question

---

In my feature I have: * def bar = read('classpath:features/xxx/foo.json')

But when I run tests in Jenkins, I have an error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: javascript evaluation failed: read('classpath:features/xxx/foo.json')

What is wrong?

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly (it severely lacks details), everything works fine on your local machine, but does not work when running on Jenkins.

Don't you have a little bit more stack trace to provide ?

There could be so many possible reasons. Maybe on Jenkins, non-Java files are not being copied correctly to target/test-classes. Check whether the pom.xml on Jenkins is not behaving differently for example because of a Maven profile. You should work with your Jenkins admin / CI team to solve this.
