Help Setting Up Katalon Docker Image w/ RE License

Has anyone successfully used their Runtime Engine License with the Katalon Studio Docker Image?

Here’s the workflow I am trying to put in place:

  • My team has Katalon studio locally on our computers, synced with our GitLab repo
  • Katalon Runtime Engine license is purchased and API key is passed into .gitlab-ci.yml command
  • Additionally, we have an Ubuntu Runner Server which will be used to kick off the pipeline. This has docker, gitlab runner, and katalon installed.
  • We want to use GitLab-CI to run our test suites using the supported katalon-studio/docker-image. The example on the samples page does not have anything mentioned about how to set up or pass in the licensing.

Attempts have been unsuccessful so far, and I am struggling to find examples since the Runtime Engine Licensing model came to be.

I have the same issue with my Jenkins server running katalon container, this was working while using trial.
After my trial expired I purchased 1 KSE and one Katalon Floating Runtime Engine, but now I got an error everytime that my pipeline try to call Katalon container.

Line in Jenkins pipeline -> docker run -t --rm -v $(pwd):/katalon/katalon/source katalonstudio/katalon:7.0.3 katalon-execute.sh -browserType=‘Chrome’ -retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -testSuitePath=‘Test Suites/Proposify_TestSuite’ -apiKey=‘API KEY GOES HERE’

Error message:

Any ideia what should I do here?

After reaching out to the Katalon team, I was told to purchase a DevOps Runtime Engine License as opposed to a regular Runtime Engine license.

Personally, I am a bit frustrated with the lack of clarity when purchasing the license originally.

This DevOps Runtime license was what I needed, plus update the docker container image that I was using, I will share here my pipeline snippet if somebody need it.

docker run -t --rm -v $(pwd):/katalon/katalon/source katalonstudio/katalon:latest katalon-execute.sh -browserType=‘Chrome’ -retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -testSuitePath=‘Test Suites/TS_TestSuite’ -apiKey=‘ADD_YOUR_KEY_HERE’

Hello,

I’m in the same situation as you. I just acquired my Katalon Devops Runtime licenses because I use katalon with CircleCi / Bitbucket, I built a custom image (https://hub.docker.com/r/pcisupport/ci-katalon-new) of katalon .

I run this type of script (replacing the variables of course):

katalonc -runMode = $ {TEST_RUNMODE} -projectPath = $ {TEST_PROJECT_PATH} -executionProfile = $ {EXECUTION_PROFILE} -browserType = “$ {BROWSER_TYPE}” -retry = $ {TEST_RETRY} $ {TESTSUITETYPE = “TESTSUITEYPE” summaryReport -Djava.awt.headless = true -reportFolder = $ {REPORT_PROJECT_PATH} -apiKey = $ {TEST_APIKEY}

It worked fine with version 6.X.X. I don’t understand the Katalon licensing model. What should I take? Runtime Engine or Runtime Devops Engine?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

@taha.helal888,

Please share the details of the issue.

If you have an offline license of Katalon Runtime Engine, it will work with GitLab CI/CD self-hosted environment

You will need Katalon Runtime Engine online license to run KRE docker image on GitLab CI/CD
