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?

The first release of Katalon Studio's Jenkins Plugin

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.
