Has anyone encountered such error, i would appreciate if someone can help out.

Answer 1

Can you please upgrade to 0.9.5.RC4 and confirm ? This problem should not happen any more.

For API testing, you can consider that this version is stable.

Answer 2

You are getting NoClassDefFoundError for JavaFX/collections/ObservableList You need to add your JavaFX jar to the classpath.

Refer to below link for more details here

Answer 3

You need to have the below two jars in your classpath :

1. jre/lib/ext/jfxrt.jar
2. jre/lib/jfxswt.jar

This exact issue for karate is addressed here and resolved by Peter Thomas .

Answer 4

I had similar issue. In my case problem occured because my feature names contain spaces. So according to my experience feature names may contains hypen or underline but not space.
