Hi Community members, :wave:

Are you aware that the Microsoft-hosted agents for Ubuntu 18.04 were retired completely from April 2023? In other words, you must update your yml file to Ubuntu 20.04 onwards.

There are some error messages that you may get familiar with when executing the tests with Azure DevOps or Github Action on Ubuntu 20.04 onwards.

  1. ADO Error(Operation Cancelled)
  2. Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused" in Github Actions for Ubuntu 20.04
  3. Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
  4. Katalonc: Cannot open display:

To move forward, please refer to the following steps:

  1. On Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04, Microsoft set JDK 11 as the default Java version. Thus, this default is incompatible with the Katalon Runtime OS requirement.
Required Operating System
Default Java Versions should be Katalon Runtime Engine Versions
OpenJDK 8 Version 8.x
OpenJDK 17 Version 9.x

So we basically need to change the default Java version on the yml file to 8 for KRE v8, and 17 for KRE v9 onward without manually downloading Java 11.

  1. In detail, to change the default Java version on your yml file, please refer to the parameters below:

Version 8.x

Azure DevOps

env:

    JAVA_HOME: $(JAVA_HOME_8_X64)

    PATH: $(JAVA_HOME_8_X64)/bin:$(PATH)

GitHub Actions

steps:

    - uses: actions/setup-java@v3

      with:

        distribution: 'zulu' # Set any 'Supported distributions' according to your preferences

        java-version: '8'

Version 9.x

Azure DevOps

env:

    JAVA_HOME: $(JAVA_HOME_17_X64)

    PATH: $(JAVA_HOME_17_X64)/bin:$(PATH)

GitHub Actions

steps:

    - uses: actions/setup-java@v3

      with:

        distribution: 'zulu' # Set any 'Supported distributions' according to your preferences

        java-version: '17'
