Ensure JDK is installed on your UNIX server as Katalon needs it

Navigate to the directory on your server where Katalon is present.
Then run the below command:

./katalonc -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath=“/path/to/your/project” -apiKey=“your_katalon_api_key”

Let me know if this works

For the configuration CICD, ensure you have Jenkins and required plugins (Git, Pipeline, SSH Agent) installed. Then you can try:

  1. Create a Jenkins Pipeline:
  • Create a new Jenkins pipeline job and configure it to use your version control system (e.g., Git) to pull the latest code.
  • Define the pipeline script (Jenkinsfile) that includes the steps for running your Katalon tests.
  1. Configure the Pipeline Script (Jenkinsfile):

Here’s an example Jenkinsfile that triggers Katalon tests on a Unix server:

pipeline {
    agent any
    environment {
        KATALON_PATH = "/path/to/katalon"
        PROJECT_PATH = "/path/to/your/project"
        API_KEY = "your-api-key"
    }
    stages {
        stage('Checkout') {
            steps {
                checkout scm
            }
        }
        stage('Run Tests') {
            steps {
                sh """
                ${KATALON_PATH}/katalonc -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath="${PROJECT_PATH}" -apiKey="${API_KEY}" -retry=0 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/YourTestSuite" -executionProfile="default" -browserType="Chrome"
                """
            }
        }
    }
}
  1. Schedule the Pipeline:

Configure the Jenkins job to run daily using the “Build periodically” option. For example, to run the job every day at midnight, you can use the following cron syntax:
H 0 * * *

As a note for anyone else - there’s a few different approaches in the Katalon documentation with Jenkins integration:

As for prereqs for KRE and system requirements, you can review them here:
