JsonPath shortcut not working in called feature when a variable is set in karate-config.js

[workwithprashant]

Environment: Karate 1.1.0.RC5 | JDK 14 | Maven 3.6.3

Example: Download project, extract and execute maven command mvn clean test -P functional

1. generic_functions.feature is reading json file and saving it to masterList variable
2. generic_functions.feature is called in karate-config.js
3. When main feature file is executed, it's able to process * def usersKittens = $masterList[*].id without any issue.
4. If main feature file calls another feature file and tries to execute * def allKittens = $masterList[*].id then it throws an error.

19:51:44.152 [pool-1-thread-1] ERROR com.intuit.karate - classpath:examples/library.feature:8
* def allKittens = $masterList[*].id
java.lang.NullPointerException
classpath:examples/library.feature:8

Note: masterList variable is accessible in called feature file as shown here
