Error when running tests in Docker with the Applitools plugin

Hi everyone,

I’ve decided to give the Applitools plugin a shot, and it works great in my tests when I run it locally with any browser. However, when I run these very same tests with Katalon Studio in Docker, the Applitools step in my test throws the following exception:

2019-06-28 14:00:17 - [TEST_CASE][ERROR] - Test Cases/User Interface/Login Page/Verify Login Page:     Test Cases/User Interface/Login Page/Verify Login Page FAILED.
Reason:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.kms.katalon.keyword.applitools.BasicKeywords
at com.kms.katalon.core.main.CustomKeywordDelegatingMetaClass.getCustomKeywordClassAndSetMetaClass(CustomKeywordDelegatingMetaClass.java:100)
at com.kms.katalon.core.main.CustomKeywordDelegatingMetaClass.invokeStaticMethod(CustomKeywordDelegatingMetaClass.java:45)

Has anybody else managed to successfully run their Applitools tests in their Katalon Docker instance?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you for let us know. What was the Docker command used to execute the tests?

Hi, here’s the command I use:

docker run -t --rm -v /home/katalon/katalon-project/:/katalon/katalon/source katalonstudio/katalon katalon-execute.sh -retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -executionProfile="staging" -testSuiteCollectionPath="Test Suites/Collections/StagingTests" -browserType="Chrome"

I think for some reason the Applitools plugin is not there (in the Docker instance of Katalon), hence the ClassNotFound exception. Is there a way I could check? The Katalon image is up to date.

API key is needed to install plugins in CLI mode. Please refer to this post
