Is it possible to add YAML.FILE as a Value token?

[bfarrell-ibm]

Hi,

The stepFile feature allows the user to reference a step written in json format.

 stepFile: "${JSON.FILE:reusable_content/get_authorisation.json}"

In our usage we are writing scenarion in yaml format - but it appears that the stepFile only supports json. Is there any plan to support a YAML file value token similar to JSON.FILE?

Support for ZIP would also be something that be useful for test cases we are currently attempting to implement.

@bfarrell-ibm what's the usecase for zip file? In stepFile we are specifying json/yaml step.

Just to clarify - the ZIP file support was not in relation to stepfiles.

A colleague has a scenario where and API call expects a zip as the payload. I don't have the exact details. He is investigating if using the HttpClient could be a suitable solution.

Thanks for the PR 👍

PR merged. Pending a new version release and a Wiki page with an example.

Hi all,
The YAML.FILE support has now been merged (#505), and I've added the wiki page documenting usage with an example. Since the original request (YAML support for stepFile) is now resolved, suggest closing this issue.
