Trying to pass dynamic path parameters from CSV for a GET method.

Referring to Karate: how to pass dynamic path parameters?

we are trying to pass dynamic parameter in path from a CSV file, but it doesn't work well when method is GET, although for POST we don't have an issue using CSV.

here elaborating with help of a open API

Feature: Get users details based on valid and invalid inputs from csv file

  Background:

  * url 'https://reqres.in'

    Scenario Outline: Get single user based on id value - Valid & invalid
      Given path '/api/users/<id>'

      When method <method>
      Then status <status>

      * print response
      ##* match response.data.id contains <id>

      Examples:
        |id|status|method|Scenario|
        |2|200|GET|Valid id as input|
        |4|200|GET|Valid id as input|
        |5|200|GET|Valid id as input|
        |&|404|GET|Special character as Input|
        | |404|GET|Empty space as Input|
        |A|404|GET|Alphabet as input|
        |999|404|GET|Invalid Number as input|
        |-1|404|GET|Invalid Number as input|

This works well, but when I try to pass same data with following it doesn't work

  |read('../../Data/users.csv')|

this is how this CSV looks users data csv file

It is hard to say from the data given, and it doesn't work is not helpful. Maybe special characters cause problems. The best thing would be to follow this process: https://github.com/intuit/karate/wiki/How-to-Submit-an-Issue

In general I discourage using a Scenario Outline for negative cases. Some guidance can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54126724/143475

To troubleshoot the CSV, you can try * print __row to see the values in each row.

This works for me:

Scenario Outline:
* url 'https://httpbin.org'
* path 'post'
* request __row
* method post

Examples:
| read('test.csv') |
