Running Karate test in Java API method

[arulkumarkandasamy]

I want to run karate tests in API call so that it can be integrated to our automation framework. However I am getting below error. Attached project source file.
KarateAPITest.zip

java.lang.NullPointerException
com.intuit.karate.core.ScenarioExecutionUnit.init(ScenarioExecutionUnit.java:147)

Steps to reproduce
Unzip the attached project
run "mvn clean install"
Deploy the war file in tomcat
Running curl command curl http://localhost:8080/KarateAPITest/karate/datadriven should display output as "Hello World".

I have created UI with ExtJS and want to integrate karate with that. That is why I am trying to execute test cases through REST API call. If this is not possible please let me know whether this integration is possible by some other way.

Deploy the war file in tomcat

sorry, this is out of scope of this project, and I don't have tomcat installed

we know some people have been able to run karate inside a spring boot project, so you can look at that thread and / or ask them for help: #520

Any update on the same. I am getting similar error

java.lang.NullPointerException
com.intuit.karate.core.ScenarioExecutionUnit.init(ScenarioExecutionUnit.java:147)
com.intuit.karate.core.ScenarioExecutionUnit.run(ScenarioExecutionUnit.java:236)
com.intuit.karate.core.FeatureExecutionUnit.run(FeatureExecutionUnit.java:164)
com.intuit.karate.core.FeatureExecutionUnit.run(FeatureExecutionUnit.java:73)

and from here the stack trace differs to

com.intuit.karate.core.Engine.executeFeatureSynce
com.intuit.karate.core.IdeUtils.exec
