Karate Files

Important Fixes

• JS functions auto-coerced to Java functional interfaces (e.g. Predicate, Function) when passed to Java APIs — regression vs 1.5.2 [#2837]
• configure proxy (and other global config) propagates into features invoked via call / callonce [#2839]
• HTTP traffic from karate.callSingle() is captured in the calling feature's HTML report again; config-time output also surfaced in reports [#2840]
• JsonPath [*] wildcard works inside match / match each expressions (e.g. match each response..items[*].type == '#string') [#2841]
• String.prototype.substr() available again, and karate.set(map) bulk form restored — v1 parity for large-codebase migrations [#2842]
• SUITE_EXIT durationMillis and time stats in karate-events.jsonl no longer report negative / incorrect values [#2843]
• set RHS expressions route through the same evaluator as v1, restoring parity for embedded-expression and JS-style RHS forms [#2813]

New Features & Enhancements

• passedRate exposed on SUITE_EXIT.summary and FEATURE_EXIT events for easier aggregation by external tooling [#2832]
• Parser warns at parse time when the v1 @parallel tag is encountered, with a pointer to the migration docs [#2838]
• Scenario names evaluate bare ${...} placeholders (in addition to <placeholder> substitution)
• cucumber-json output flattens called sub-feature steps into the parent steps[] array
• Driver honors the stop: false flag — skips quit and bypasses the driver pool, useful for manual / interactive debugging
• karate-js: json-smart dependency removed, replaced with an own strict JsonParser
• karate-js: +51 test262 PASS — abrupt-completion sweep, RegExp.escape, lexer \v / \x fixes
• Markup: ka:fragment (attribute-level), ka:island, ka:data-mirror, devTrace directives (K3 / K7 / K8 / K16–K22)
• Markup: th:each strict, th:attr SyntaxError hint, th:with object-spread (...obj), per-render context.set, per-request context.setGlobal / getGlobal
• Markup: context.redirect sends HX-Redirect automatically for htmx-originated requests; dev-mode 500 returns a useful body
• CsrfProtection.createTemplateToken returns null when no token is available (instead of throwing)
• netty bumped 4.2.12 → 4.2.13
