Hello,

I have a test suite that has a test case which uses PDF custom keyword plugin. If I use Katalon Studio client I can run the test suite or the test case separately just fine without any problems but I when I run the test in console mode I get this error:

What your command line execution code ? Did you add the apiKey to it ?

Ah this fixed the problem! I’m able to run the tests in console mode now.

What an odd fix. Why wouldn’t the plugin work without the APIkey?

thank you so much!

The apikey make sure you have active subscription when using paid plugin. It’s just the same architecture used for all plugin even free one.

What Happens when your API-Key Server is local instead of at Katalon.com? Might that affect the ability to run the plugins?
