This is something we need very desperately right now - DESPERATELY.

And despite that, this was the feedback from some of my colleagues (referring to this: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/raw/master/karate-demo/...) :

"I not like syntax but docs looks like good_)"

"I also don't like the syntax. In the past, Ive ended up writing a lot of code that amounts to syntax configuration without a ton of benefit. Arguably, it's so that non-developers can read the tests, but in practice they still don't."

Most of our complexity comes from having to test against two independent systems - deployed smart contracts and a database. Anyway, let us see if they try it out.

I agree the syntax takes some getting used to. Do pass on to the team that there is an IntelliJ plugin and a VS Code plugin. You can easily call a database or any external system using Java interop: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52714248/143475

Thanks. Will do. One of my team mates already found the VS Code plugin. :)

@zomglings is your team looking for something more UI driven like postman or something which simplifies or abstracts who dependencies are handled?

[zomglings]

Most of our problems are around how to deal with the blockchain. We already use a combination of Postman, bash scripts (lots of curl), and the VS Code version of Postman (our current preferred way to do things) to test the API live during development.
