File Not found for most of the tests when running via runtime engine license

I’ve searched on this forum and there’s been several reports of this issue where tests are not running when executed via RTE/CLI… but there’s been no solution or immediate fix.

We’ve been paying for RTE license and yet unable to run these tests with this error…but they can be run locally with no issues. I do not understand how something that we pay for doesn’t work as intended.

you can raise a support ticket with katalon(support@katalon.com) since you are paid customer

i did… it’s just that i see similar posts spanning back 2 years and topics are closed without any references or solutions

It could be many reasons - the support staff should be able to help you out on this.

I’m assuming it’s a problem with the KRE command line syntax but the error log will be able to pinpoint it.

If you aren’t getting an adequate response from Katalon Support please ping me the support ticket number and I’ll look into it.

Hello there,

As @philipB mentioned, if you can share some error logs, it could help us understand the issue better.

In addition to this, are you using the Katalon Command Line Tool to generate the KRE command? (It is located near the Play button in Katalon Studio).

Have you moved or renamed any Test Cases, Test Suites, or Test Data Files? Are you using any external test data, such as .csv or .xls files?

Lastly, have you double-checked the paths in the KRE command? Sometimes you need to specify the full absolute path of the files instead of the relative ones.

I hope this helps. Please keep me updated!

I fixed this myself and found a reason for this failure.
It looks like the issue was that KRE does not play nice with a test case folder that has “underscore” in the name.

So basically a test case folder that has the following “smoke_tests” will not work… it has to be “smoke tests”.

I hope the katalon team takes this as a bug and fixes this issue cuz the same issue was being reported since 2 years and nobody had a solution.
