karate-config.js fails when using js functions inside it

See original GitHub issue

The karate-config.js fails every time I add an extra function inside it.

function fn() {
 var env = karate.env; // get system property 'karate.env'
 karate.log('karate.env system property was:', env);
 if (!env) {
   env = 'dev';
 }
 var config = {
   env: env,
   myVarName: 'hello karate',
   baseUrl: 'https://www.kloia.com/',
   myString: base64('example string')
 }
 if (env == 'dev') {
   // customize
   // e.g. config.foo = 'bar';
 } else if (env == 'e2e') {
   // customize
 }
 return config;
}

function base64(creds) {
    return 'Basic string' + creds;
}

In my example I just want to use the base64 function to set up a property in the config. Whenever I try to do that my karate-config.js fails with the following error.

08:56:49.815 [main] ERROR com.intuit.karate - src/test/java/com/ebay/example/Hello.feature:4

but I’ll try to be more specific. please please just have one function in karate-config.js at the “top level” this is how all the examples and documentation are written. I have no idea how your style worked and I would consider it a bug 😃 karate was never designed to support that kind of JS that you are showing
