Is there any way to set proxy programatically?

I know how to but before telling it, let me ask you. Why do you want to do that?

I’m new to Katalon, and we have 6.3.3. It was mentioned that Katalon does not have an exception list in its proxy setting. This causes internal address to be forwarded to the proxy. Until there is an exception list, I’m thinking of setting the proxy when Katalon starts in order to load the plugins, and then programmatically turn off the proxy when the testing starts. Is there a way to set the proxy settings to “No proxy”?

[image] kazurayam: I know how to but before telling it, I wrote this 10 months ago. But now I am against what I said. I do not think there is a way to change the proxy settings of Katalon Studio programmatically (by test case script, test listener script) once Katalon Studio started.

I have found a work around. You will set “Manual Proxy Configuration” to Katalon Studio. This will let “Reload plugins” operation to success. But your test case scripts will be unable to reach to the hosts on your intranet. Now you can use Desired Capability to tell Chrome browser of proxy configuration. Chrome browser accepts --proxy-bypass-list option. You can specify the host name (ip address) of your target host on your intranet. [--proxy-bypass-list] This worked for me. Also it is possible to set the Desired Capabilities for browsers programatically.

We are testing Web services (GET http://…) directly without going through the browser, so I believe in this scenario, it’s Katalon that resolves the URL, at least at the Object repo level. An exception list, i.e. proxy bypass per Eclipse’s parlance, would definitely fix the issue. Is there a reason why the proxy setting screen does not have a proxy bypass?

In my opinion, using command-line switches for browsers or the Desired Capability to configure browsers proxy setup for WebUI testing is fine as long as these options work. I think that Katalon Studio’s current Proxy Preference design is ambiguous. The current design does not make it clear who consumes the proxy information? Katalon Studio for reloading plugins, communicating with Katalon Analytics, Browsers (for reaching to the Applicaton Under Test)? Katalon Studio for WebService/API testing without browsers As for the case1, Proxy config for Katalon Studio to communicate with Plugin Store and Katalon Analysis — this would NEVER require --proxy-bypass-list As for the case2, Proxy config as Desired Capabilities for Browsers to let it communicate with hosts both on the internet and the intranet — this would require --proxy-bypass-list and Proxy Auto Configuration support As for the case3, Proxy config for WebService/API test, this would require --proxy-bypass-list and PAC. well, Proxy config with moving targets tends to make confusion.

@ThanhTo @devalex88 @duyluong Guys, can we get some clarity on this? (See above).

I have made a new post: [image] Launching browsers with Proxy Auto-config for Katalon Test cases Tips and Tricks I made a demo project on GitHub: Background Quite a few Katalon Studio users work behind the corporates Proxy server. Me too. You can setup a Proxy for Katalon Studio. See “Proxy Preference” page. Katalon Studio referes to this proxy config in several ways. The browser opend by WebUI.openBrowser() on your PC (which is behind the corporate’s Proxy) will have the same proxy as configured for Katalon Studio. The Katalon test scripts will have access to the URLs on the Internet through tha… Here I used PAC (Proxy Auto-config).

Hi guys! Katalon Studio 7.0.0 supports passing proxy details through the script. You can see more details here. I’m glad to let you know we have just released the official version of Katalon Studio 7.0.0. Please first check out the release note and click here to download. Cheers Jass

I re-examined the PAC support. See the following post:
