Error when running test on IntelliJ IDEA

Hi,

I have updated Karate Version to last version released (0.5.0) in pom.xml file:

    <properties>
        <karate.version>0.5.0</karate.version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.intuit.karate</groupId>
            <artifactId>karate-apache</artifactId>
            <version>${karate.version}</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.intuit.karate</groupId>
            <artifactId>karate-junit4</artifactId>
            <version>${karate.version}</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

And with this version:

IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3.5 Build #IC-163.13906.18, built on March 6, 2017 JRE: 1.8.0_112-release-408-b6 amd64 JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

When I launch a specific feature with Cucumber Plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7212-cucumber-for-java), I receive this error:

If I launch this with mvn clean test works fine.

Anyone has suffered this bug?

Thanks for all

@nikhila294 you are using a very old version of karate which is not supported any more. also please ask these kinds of questions on stack overflow

Hi @ptrthomas

Thanks for your response.

I have run it with a Karate-UI and I receive this error:

Error:(12, 12) java: cannot access javafx.application.Application
  class file for javafx.application.Application not found

I have been reading this StackOverFlow thread and I have found that “openjfx” is not installed by default when you install OpenJDK v8. and they recommend two options:

• Install OracleJDK v8.
• Install “openjfx” package.

For IntelliJ IDEA users, you have to do this following steps:

• Select “File” > “Project Structure”.
• Move to “SDKs” tab and select your “1.8” Java.
• Click on red minus button and then re-add the JDK
• Now, you will have JavaFX related files needed and loaded by IntelliJ IDEA.

You have to make sure that you have this jar files in classpath:

• /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar
• /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/jfxswt.jar

So, now it is working fine. It should be recommended in the extensive documentation to recommend to add this javafx library.

Thanks for your time @ptrthomas
