The option “String dirName = RunConfiguration.getProjectDir()” didn’t work for me.  
I used:

String dirName = System.getProperty(“user.dir”)

Perhaps you forgot to write

```auto
import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration

```

`System.getProperty("user.dir")` is OK when you work on Katalon Studio GUI, but is not when you work on Katalon Runtime Engine.

In KRE, your current directory (user.dir) will not necessarily be equal to the project directory.
