After Karate 1.3.1 update, Karate.run method isn't working

April 4, 2023

I updated my Karate version 1.3.0.RC2 to 1.3.1. Then I ran my tests in runner file, but I am getting an error. Before the update, it worked normally.

BaseTest.java

package features;

import com.intuit.karate.junit5.Karate;
import java.util.*;

public class BaseTest {

    @Karate.Test
    Karate Money() {
        return Karate.run("Money").relativeTo(getClass());
    }

}

Error:

org.junit.platform.commons.JUnitException: @TestFactory method [com.intuit.karate.junit5.Karate features.BaseTest.Money()]

I didn’t find any solution. Is that a bug or feature ?

>Solution :

I understand you just updated the karate-core version. Besides, if you update the karate-junit5 version, your problem will be solved.
