Import files into Katalon studio

[swinston]

Hi!
I recently exported my entire project in katalon into a folders in my local harddrive. I am not on a few computer, am I able to import those files into katalon so i can run my test cases on my new computer?
ADD: i just realized my test cases were saved in the cloud on the browser in katalon, how do i get them to show up in KAtalon studio?

Thanks you!

You are not asking any question here in the sentences.

Please make your question in English understandable.

What sort of operations on your computer do you mean by the words “export” and “import”. There could be so many way to “export” / “import” things. We, guys in this forum, can not see what you want to achieve.

You need to define “export” and “import”.

How do i export a project and re-import in another machine

In the Katalon Forum I have found several posts asking how to share artifacts developed in a Katalon Studio project with others. how to create jar libraries from custom keywords Sharing test cases or keywords to multiple projects Sharing methods between tests Is it possible to share test case between different projects? sharing of test cases Is there any way to share test listeners and custom keywords code to multiple projects? I suppose that many of the questioners above do not know what Git…

As of the recent v8.5.x, Katalon Studio - Platform Edition strongly recommends you to use Git, as the following post describes.

Getting Started with the Katalon Platform: Creating Your First Project

From version 8.5.0 onwards, Katalon Studio has two editions: Katalon Studio - Standalone Edition and Katalon Studio - Platform Edition. With the Standalone edition, you can store projects on your local system, which is suitable if your team wants to host all your testing infrastructure locally. The Katalon Studio Platform edition, on the other hand, is seamlessly integrated with the Katalon Platform and Git. It allows you to easily leverage the available cloud resources to streamline your test…

I think, there is no reason for you to try to invent your own export/import method other than Git.

Hello -
Yes Git is my long term plan but right now I do not have access to my original laptop and just the exported folders, hence trying to find a workaround.

Thanks!

I do not have access to my original laptop

So, why do you think we can help in such case?

Sorry maybe i did not explain properly. All the folders that were saved on my local harddrive automatically with my test cases, objects, etc… I was able to save and transfer to my new machine (but i did not use GIT). I have all my test cases saved now on my new machine (in .tc files) but i do not see a way to upload them back into katalon studio to run

(but i did not use GIT)

So, start to use Git and understand how it works.
We are not here to support ‘disaster recovery’ scenarios.

Thank you. Sorry, I was just trying to see if there was another workout since like i said I don’t have access to my original files beyond the folders right now. If i get this to work again I will certainly use GIT. Thank you!

Why not you create your project again from scratch by hand?

Hello!
I was actually able to figure it out, I copied over my exported folders of test cases/objects/keywords/and test suites into the example project that is automatically created. I then created a new project and was able to clone it over and upload to the new GIT. I realized the reason GIT had not worked was due to my company’s security options, so exporting the folders manually was the best option.
