Checking for the presence of a Request header in Karate

I am trying to create a mock server for handling functional tests in Karate. For that purpose I need to match certain incoming requests based on certain elements like method, path and presence of "Authorization" header in the incoming requests.

The condition I have is something like:

methodIs('get') && pathMatches('/mypath')

I need to write a condition for the presence of an "Authorization" header in the request.

As per documentation, we can use:

karate.get('requestHeaders.Authorization[0]') == 'foo'

However, when I am trying to use the above, it isn't working. I checked for the presence of requestHeaders.Authorization[0] but that is being returned as Null. My idea was to modify the above to something like karate.get('requestHeaders.Authorization[0]') == '#notnull'.

I ended up trying headerContains('Authorization',''), which seems to be working - however I am not sure if that is the right way to check for the presence of that specific header. Is there any other (better) way to do this?

We are planning to improve this in a future release: https://github.com/karatelabs/karate/issues/1962

Meanwhile I would have thought that a simple JavaScript condition like requestHeaders.Authorization would work. For e.g:

Scenario: requestHeaders.Authorization && methodIs('get')

Unfortunately it is case-sensitive, which is what we plan to fix in a future release. You could use an OR condition for the time being.
