Karate Tools Mock Server

Karate Tools include the feature to Start a Karate mock server with two execution modes:

Standalone mode

mocks shared by all the tests

Inline mode

mocks specific to each test

This feature can be enabled or disabled using the tag karate.options tags:

  • @mock.templates.standalone to enable the Standalone Mock Server (default)

  • @mock.templates.inline to enable the Inline Mock Server

Execution

Execute tests enabling or disabling Karate Tools Mock Server (Standalone/Inline) using karate.options

  • Mock Server Standalone (started by default via karate hook) without Inline Tests

    mvn clean test -Dkarate.env=local -Dkarate.options="-t ~@mock.templates.inline"

  • Inline Tests without Standalone Mock Server (disabling standalone default start hook)

    mvn clean test -Dkarate.env=local -Dkarate.options="-t @mock.templates.inline -t ~@mock.templates.standalone"

Also the port for the mock server can be customized using KARATE_MOCK_SERVER_PORT environment variable.

  • Execute tests with custom karate mock server port

    mvn clean test -Dkarate.env=local -DKARATE_MOCK_SERVER_PORT=58081

Launch Standalone Mock Server independently of the tests

This feature is useful to test the mock server endpoints without running the tests.

  • Launch Standalone Mock Server independently of the tests.

    mvn test-compile

mvn exec:java -Dexec.classpathScope="test" -Dexec.mainClass="com.intuit.karate.Main" -Dexec.args="-p 58082 -m classpath:mocks/mock-templates.feature"

The mock server endpoints will be available at the provided port (-p 58082), for example:
