Running Katalon using Windows cmd

I am attempting to run Katalon using the command line prompt generated by the Builder within Katalon Studio. I get this script: katalon -noSplash -runMode=console -consoleLog -projectPath=“C:\Users\gd0239\Katalon Studio\Production Test\Production Test.prj” -retry=0 -testSuitePath=“Test Suites/CAADS UI Testing” -executionProfile=“default” -browserType=“Chrome”

Copying it into the cmd prompt gives me the error: “katalon is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file”

Am I overlooking something basic? The syntax matches the format I found in the documentation example.

Just CD into the Katalon folder (for me, that’s C:\KatalonStudio). If you add the command to a shell script (batch file) just place the path before the call to katalon:

C:\KatalonStudio\katalon -noSplash ...

So, if I’m understanding right what you’re saying, if I were to put the command into a shell script, I would have to store it in the Katalon folder, and then put the folder path before the script?

No, that’s precisely why you put it in the script – if you don’t then you’ll need to store the script in the Katalon install folder. The point is to build the command with ALL the info it needs: the path to Katalon and the execution command switches (-noSpalsh etc).

You could add the katalon install folder to your environment PATH variable (but that’s unnecessary if you do what I said).

Ah, thanks, I was able to run the script!

Now I’m just not sure how to interpret the results:

That’s not a failure I know about. Post a separate question.

Alright, I went ahead and did that. Thanks for your help.

You’re welcome. And thanks for the BA.

@Russ_Thomas

What is printed to the log file?

There was nothing previously being printed to the log file for this issue – In my case it was being blocked by something locally / a problem with my setup – I am good now thank you for the super quick response!

Same issue, there is no error and no output after run from cmd

Can someone explain how to solve this please?
