Jenkins build results in: AppiumStartException: Appium directory is not set. Please set it in Window/Katalon Studio

Continuing the discussion from The first release of Katalon Studio's Jenkins Plugin:

Please print out PATH and APPIUM_PATH in your Jenkins build. Also were you using the same user account as Jenkins when installing Appium?

I’ve got an issue with the Jenkins plugin.

Jenkins build results in:
AppiumStartException: Appium directory is not set. Please set it in Window/Katalon Studio

Same happens when I run a Katalon test suite via cmd line (commands generated by Katalon).

When I execute the commands via cmd line from the Katalon install dir , tests do execute with success.
When executing from elsewhere (katalon home is on my PATH) I get the “Appium dir not set” error.

Note: Had 0 replies on this issue since 7 days on Github unfortunately!

Thank you very much for the reply.

I’ve installed 1.0.8, restarted Jenkins.
The problem still exist.
