callonce feature not working properly

Hi Peter!

I am having a quite nice experience with Karate so far, thanks for the continued effort! 😃

I am working with a feature with the following design:

Background: 
 * def xyz = callonce read('classpath:abc.feature')
 * configure headers = read('headers.js')

Scenario: Does something

Scenario: Does something else

Let’s say abc.feature it is a feature that authenticates my user and sets headers accordingly. From the execution logs, I am seeing:

...
cached callonce: read('classpath:abc.feature')
...

But the abc.feature is being invoked continuously, before each and every Scenario. From the ‘callonce’ standpoint, I guess it is not correct, this is causing me to hit the authentication endpoint unnecessarily. I am using karate 0.3.1.

Best,

Neill

@neillfontes that looks perfect actually. I may actually modify the doc / examples along these lines !

@ptrthomas. It worked fine now.

I’ve adopted the folder structure below. Any objections or recommendations? feature1 and feature2 call the common-whatever.feature in this case, and the cached callonce works well.

/
   /features 
       Runner.java
       /feature1
          feature1.feature
      /feature2
          feature2.feature
   /common
      common-whatever.feature
