Katalon Studio 12 - How to run from Command Line

[@KiranBomble-f5z]

really good explaination.

[@RaghavPal]

Thanks Kiran

[@fedeamico7085]

Hi Raghav, I've learned very much with your videos. When I execute the CMD I have this error: "katalonc" is not recognized as an internal or external command, executable program or batch file. I don't know why. I tried to add katalon to the system variables but no result. Can you help me, please?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Fede, In the new ver, we need to download Katalon Runtime engine folder and run command from its location. In case you need the complete course with latest ver can check automationstepbystep.com/udemy-discounts/

[@rabiashahid1598]

Sir how I can run this on window which key u are used,,,I follow your tutorial for window but nothing happened ,,I can't run command plz tell m what I do

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Rabia, Now to run from command line you will need to download Runtime engine www.katalon.com/download/ And run the command from runtime engine folder I have a complete Udemy course on this - www.udemy.com/course/katalon-studio-beginners-hands-on-training/

[@ravendrathallapureddy7774]

Hope Katalon is considering testcase execution limitation through command line. I believe, that will be more useful.

[@RaghavPal]

yes, that can be an additional feature, However you can still run your tests cases from cmd after adding to a test suite.

Hello Raghav, Is it possible to use different browsers that are not available in the Katalon browser list. e.g. I wanted to use Opera browser to run the test. Can I use it somewhere in command Thanks Monish

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Monish, you can try adding the browser exe in the configuration folder Windows 32bit: /configuration/resources/drivers Windows 64bit: /configuration/resources/drivers/ macOS: /Applications/KatalonStudio.app/Contents/Eclipse/configuration/resources/drivers Linux: /configuration/resources/drivers/

Hello Sir, In katalon i click build CMD option where, when i generate CMD command browser type "web service" shows it can't be changable ....it is run and close automatically and does not perform in any browser..

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Ragini, looks like while creating the project you selected type as web service / API. Therefore it is customized to run only for web service.

[@PrettyMelody108]

How to change it?

[@RaghavPal]

When you create a new project, there is option to select web, mobile, api

[@PrettyMelody108]

When a wrong option is selected how to edit this

[@RaghavPal]

In your generated command you can manually change and try for now

What value should I pass for "browserType" if I have to run API test through command line ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Aalok, did you try running with any existingg browser like chrome.

[@hoavinh1546]

I'm using version 7.6.2 on MAC. I can run katalonc from the command line. It also works when I put it into a shell script. But when I set crontab to run that shell script, it skips the katalonc command. while running other commands like "echo", "pwd", "date", etc. in that script. Any thoughts? Thanks.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Hoa, not sure why this happened, I will suggest to search or create a new post in Katalon Forum forum.katalon.com/

[@hoavinh1546]

@@RaghavPal Thanks for looking at it. I redirected the cron job output to a log file and saw the issue with license. The cron job does trigger the katalonc process but failed because the machineId does not match the one from the license file. I did check the access permission of all files/folder to ensure that crontab is able to read the content of the license file. I wonder why I don’t have that license problem when running the shell script directly.

[@RaghavPal]

Okay, lets wait for any response from katalon

Hi, I want to run build from TFS for mobile automation and want to use Git repository. Can someone tell me what value I have to use for -projectPath ? any examples ?

[@RafeekTM-jo3fj]

Hi raghav, i have connected my real device and I am running through my command line but I am getting illegal argument exception: the mobile device is missing. error . can you help me

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Rafeek, The "Illegal argument exception: the mobile device is missing" error message typically indicates that the device you are trying to use is not properly connected to your system, or it's not recognized by the Katalon Studio. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue: Check the device connectivity: Make sure your device is properly connected to your system and is recognized by your operating system Check device drivers: If the device is properly connected, check if the appropriate device drivers are installed. If the drivers are missing, you may need to download and install them from your device manufacturer's website Check the device status: Ensure that the device is not in sleep mode or locked Restart the device and the system: Sometimes, restarting the device and the system can resolve the issue Try a different cable: If you are using a USB cable to connect your device, try a different cable Check the Katalon Studio configuration: Make sure that the device is properly configured in Katalon Studio. To do this, go to the Project > Settings > Desired Capabilities, and check that the desired capabilities for your device are set correctly

[@shivagundra8043]

Hi Raghav Im trying to execute from terminal when i enter the command im getting no such file or directory can you guide me on this

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Shiva If you are encountering a "no such file or directory" error when executing a command in Katalon Studio from the terminal, it typically means that the command or the specified file cannot be found. Here are a few steps to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1. Check the Command: Ensure that the command you are trying to execute is correct. Double-check the syntax and spelling to make sure there are no typos or errors in the command. 2. Verify the File Path: If you are specifying a file path in the command, ensure that the file exists in the specified location. Double-check the file path to make sure it is accurate. 3. Navigate to the Correct Directory: If you are running the command from the terminal, make sure you are in the correct directory where the file or the command is located. Use the `cd` command to navigate to the appropriate directory before executing the command. 4. Set the Correct Environment Variables: If the command relies on certain environment variables, ensure that they are set correctly. Verify the environment variables required for the command and set them accordingly. 5. Check File Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to execute the file or command. If the file or command requires elevated privileges, make sure you are running the terminal as an administrator or with sufficient privileges. 6. Reinstall or Update Katalon Studio: If the issue persists, consider reinstalling or updating Katalon Studio to the latest version. Sometimes, the error could be due to compatibility issues or bugs in the software

Hi Raghav, I'm using Katalon 7 and from this version katalon guys enhanced a RE (Runtime Engine) for command line execution. Can u pls guide me how to execute using RE? Thanks in advance !!

Hi Kripesh, you're right. From ver 7 we need RE to run katalon tests from command line. You can download from katalon website it will be a zipped folder that you can unzip.
