Hi Team, I am executing a Test suite in the command line mode. The Test suite is executing correctly through the command line mode. However, i am unable to send the email. The email works fine when the Test suite is executed from the Katalon IDE. Here is the command; `/Applications/Katalon\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/katalon --args -noSplash -runMode=console -consoleLog -noExit -projectPath="/Users/namigupt/Desktop/work/codebase/2019/Q1/unity/BDD/project-x/project-x.prj" -retry=0 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/X" -executionProfile="default" -browserType="Web Service" -sendEmail="XXXX@XXX.XXX"` Can you please help me in fixing this issue?

Try configuring email , in project settings instead of using it command itself. ---

It would have been nice, if we could set the mail server settings via console. Also why not make the subject line dynamic - It should show the whether it failed and passed in the subject line.? ---

I was trying also this approach to call it from pipeline: ``` withEnv(['HTTP_PROXY=http://proxyAddress:port']) { sh "npm run test" } ``` Seems to be it is not able to get proxy settings, it works only if you set proxy in katalon UI, but this is not suitable for pipeline jenkins, cause it does not catch this settings. It works only if you are logged into terminal and run it. ---

Even for me i see this observation. 1. With Katalon studio GUI tool, if i run tests it generated only execution\* files and not the html reports. Manually i need to run a free plugin to export in html format. 2. Most important, for me is running this in command line. Wheneven i run in command line more, i see same issue. Seeing only execution\* files and not html reports. Please suggest a solution asap. Thanks. ---

@silee, @raj and all others, Same challenge for me, I would like to generate Junit or other format test results from cli commands. Going to the GUI is not an option for me, as my work is parts of a CI pipeline (Ubuntu agent) that doesn’t handle manual steps at all. Some ideas or trick would be very welcome. for the ‘propertiesFile-glag-not-working’, I’ve written a bug report. Glad to provide more logs there, if needed. Kind regards, Ludo ---

@silee, @raj and @LudoNieuw You need to add your Api-Key (acc. to the docs). The problem for me is that it then starts “reloading plugins” but this takes forever. ---

Great! I figured it out also this morning. I do not use a GUI version of Katalon, so this initially was lost to me, plugins were no use to me I thought. I ‘installed’ the Basic Report plugin and generated an API key from my account, which I added as flag -apiKey= to the command line command and that worked out of the box. I’m very happy with this functionality 😊 ---

Problem for me is that I don’t get to through the Proxy when trying to “reinstall” the PlugIn. Is there any way to prevent that the CLI re-installs the Plugin ---
