Katalon Studio Docker Image

The following how-to guide is for running Katalon Studio test with Katalon Docker Image (KDI) version 7.2.1 onwards.

Preconditions

• Katalon Runtime Engine Floating License (See pricing plan)
• Install and Start Docker on your local machine (See manual for downloading and installing Docker Desktop)

Step 1: Pull KDI

• Pull command docker pull katalonstudio/katalon

• If you want to check which version of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox the KDI supports, use the following command: docker run -t --rm katalonstudio/katalon cat /katalon/version. For example, here's the returned output.

$ docker run -t --rm katalonstudio/katalon cat /katalon/version

+ echo Entrypoint

Entrypoint

+ '[' -z '' ']'

+ exec cat /katalon/version

Mozilla Firefox 88.0

Google Chrome 92.0.4515.159 

Katalon Studio 

Step 2: Run your test with KDI

3.1 Prepare your command

3.1.1 Use the command builder to prevent syntax errors. Here’s a sample command generated by the command builder:

./katalonc -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath="<Your project path>" -retry=0 -testSuiteCollectionPath="Test Suites/TS_RegressionTestCollection" -apiKey="<Your API key>"

3.1.2 Replace

./katalonc -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath="<Your project path>"

with

docker run -t --rm -v "$(pwd)":/tmp/project katalonstudio/katalon katalonc.sh -projectPath=/tmp/project

3.2 Run your test with KDI

Inside your test project directory, run the command. Here’s an example:

docker run -t --rm -v "$(pwd)":/tmp/project katalonstudio/katalon katalonc.sh -projectPath=/tmp/project -retry=0 -testSuiteCollectionPath="Test Suites/TS_RegressionTestCollection" -apiKey="<Your API key>"

katalonc.sh command will start Katalon Studio and other necessary components. All Katalon Studio console mode arguments are accepted except -runMode.

Configure Proxy

If you need to configure proxy for Katalon Studio, refer to Proxy Options provided on Katalon docs.

Do not forget to put --config before the proxy configuration. For example:

docker run -t --rm -v "$(pwd)":/katalon/katalon/source katalonstudio/katalon katalonc.sh -projectPath=/katalon/katalon/source -browserType="Chrome" -retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/TS_RegressionTest" -apikey=<YOUR_API_KEY> --config -proxy.option=MANUAL_CONFIG -proxy.server.type=HTTP -proxy.server.address=192.168.1.221 -proxy.server.port=8888

Prevent user permission issue on your machine

You can also run the test under the current user ID using the environment variable KATALON_USER_ID. This will help avoid permission issues when accessing artifacts generated after the test execution.

• Run $ id -u $USER and copy/paste the output in KATALON_USER_ID=id -u $USER. Here's an example

$ id -u $USER

665056758

• Add it to your command. For example: docker run -t --rm -e KATALON_USER_ID=665056758 -v "$(pwd)":/tmp/project katalonstudio/katalon katalonc.sh -projectPath=/tmp/project
