Is it possible to run Karate test in a pod? If possible, then how? - kubernetes

Question

I just want to know whether I can run Karate test in a pod. Or is there any good suggestion on how to run it?
I tried to run the Karate test in terminal and it works. Just want to know if I can run it from Kubernetes pod. Nginx also running in the pod.

Answer 1

You can everything in pod whatever you are running outside environment. Pod run the container inside it.
So create the docker file and generate the docker image using docker file. Using that docker image and start the karate pod.
You can write the docker file like this
FROM maven:3-jdk-8-alpine
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY settings.xml /usr/share/maven/ref/
COPY pom.xml /tmp/pom.xml
COPY . /usr/src/app
RUN mvn -B -f /tmp/pom.xml -s /usr/share/maven/ref/settings-docker.xml prepare-package -DskipTests
CMD ["/usr/src/app/maven_runner.sh"]
I found here one example : https://github.com/neillfontes/karate-sample

Posting as Community Wiki for future use.
#Harsh Manvar provided good example, however if you will just build it from Dockerfile, you will recieved errors. You have to download all files mentioned in Github. Correct oreder will be:
$ git clone https://github.com/neillfontes/karate-sample.git
$ cd karate-sample
$ docker build -t karate_docker .
After image was built you can check it:
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
karate_docker latest 9dc6d7a5278a About a minute ago 136MB
Later you can start testing using:
$ docker run karate_docker
START: Running tests...
