KarateIDE not able to start karate test - TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'parent')

[gba-foundever]

Using last vscode 1.95.1 and KarateIDE v1.5.0 + Karate IDE Classpath Jar v1.4.0

On two og-f my project I'm not able to use the plugin, I got following error. On other it work well, project are a little bit differents but very close:

• both using last gradle wrapper 8.10.2
• both having a karate-config.js on root of the project
• main difference is that one as tests in src/e2e-test/resources/karate (the not working one) and other in src/system-test/resources/karate (working one)

Additional info:

Error is seeable in logs of extension host

In Karate IDE › Tests: Glob Filter, I got **/src/system-test/**/*.feature

If I change it to **/src/e2e-test/**/*.feature -> both type of project are not working with error above
If I come back to **/src/system-test/**/*.feature, the one with system-test work again

In addition I all case I got also this error in logs, but may be not linked

Hi @gba-foundever

I guess there is something strange regarding filenames in the project that doesnt work

Can you send me the list of filenames in e2e-test to ivangsa at gmail.com

(you can get the list name with find src/e2e-test)

[gba-foundever]

Hi,
I can do better @ivangsa
Please find 2 small projects : exactly same content, only difference is the test base folder name
not-working.zip
working.zip

regards

Hi @gba-foundever

I tested this in windows and linux and it worked for me..

Does this minimal project fail on MacOX for you?

[gba-foundever]

Yes exactly on macos
When I hit the Karate in the bottom bar (but I don't have the run button on the .feature file also)

[gba-foundever]

May be another input
on the working one, if I press on Karate at the bottom at start I got the same issue, but after I run a feature its ok

[gba-foundever]

Finally I got it !
It's 2 differents problems that made me confuse

The run button is present based on your settings, if I adjust it it works like a charm

If I put **/src/*-test/**/*.feature iniside it's working perfectly

The issue of Cannot read... occurs if you hit the karate button in the below bar without having launched any karate test. Once you launch a test, after you can click with trouble
So just an issue with initial state of the karate button

And may be a second issue with following error. I don't see where '/${ext//*.{feature,yml,json}' is defined in settings

2024-11-05 10:16:51.254 [error] Error: command failed with error code 2: error parsing glob '**/${ext/**/*.{feature,yml,json}': nested alternate groups are not allowed

[ivangsa]

Ok, I see...
the run button on the feature only shows for files that matches the globFilter, try using

"karateIDE.tests.globFilter": "**/src/e2e-test/**/*.feature"

or if it does not work just: **/src/**/*.feature

The button at the status bar runs the last execution, so if there is no last execution it doesn't work

which command are you preforming when showing this? bc I'm not sure is related to karate-ide extension

Agree but it shouldn't crash at least (maybe a little user feedback but not mandaoty)

Just at open of vscode. But it's maybe due to another plugin I got. It's just that I saw a .feature inside and as I was investigating on my issue...
