无法在空手道功能文件中的环境之间切换

Question

As per KARATE documentatoion we should use System.setProperty() to set env in test case level, But that option is not working in karate 1.2.0 (Didn't verify in previous versions)

Feature

Feature: Testing env changing
  Scenario: Reading base url of different env
  * print 'Before changing env...---> '+ karate.env
  * print 'Testing karate...'
  * print baseUrl
  * java.lang.System.setProperty("karate.env","STAGE")
  * def newevn = java.lang.System.getProperty('karate.env')
  * print 'After changing env...---> '+ newevn
  * def fun = call read('file:karate-config.js') 
  * print 'Changed env...---> '+ fun.baseUrl

Karate-Config.js file-

function fn() {
  karate.configure('connectTimeout', 5000);
  karate.configure('readTimeout', 5000);
  var env = karate.env;
  karate.log('karate.env system property was:', env);

  var baseUrl = 'testingbase.com';
  karate.log('Env---->' + env)
  var port = karate.properties['demo.server.port'] || '8080';
  var protocol = 'http';

  var config = {
    env: env,
    baseUrl: 'https://localapi.abc123.example.com/api/v1/validate/customerid',
    apiKey: ''
  }
  if (karate.properties['demo.server.https'] === 'true') {
    protocol = 'https';
    karate.configure('ssl', true);
  }
  var config = { demoBaseUrl: protocol + '://127.0.0.1:' + port };
  if (env== 'mock') {
    // karate.configure('callSingleCache', { minutes: 1 });
    // 'callSingle' is guaranteed to run only once even across all threads
    //var result = karate.callSingle('classpath:demo/headers/common-noheaders.feature', config);
    // and it sets a variable called 'authInfo' used in headers-single.feature
   // config.authInfo = { authTime: result.time, authToken: result.token };
  }
  else if(env=='BETA'){
 config.baseUrl='tetsing.beta.base.com';

  }
  else if(env=='STAGE'){
config.baseUrl='tetsing.stage.base.com';

  }
  return config;
}

Please note that you can't call java.lang.System.setProperty() within a feature and expect that to work. The environment is locked in at the time that karate-config.js is evaluated, which is before a Feature even executes.

Please read the docs: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate#switching-the-environment
