Run KRE via katalonc.exe in Octopus

Integrations

Our org uses Octopus for a our deployments. I haven’t been able to find much online that talks about integrating Katalon execution with Octopus. Ultimately, we’d like to be able to get a response back from Katalon which we can use to decide whether the build stays or gets rolled back. I have this much figured out so far.

  1. Create a step template in Octopus.
  2. Create the parameters I want to pass into the command line.
  3. Create a powershell script that executes the katalonc.exe command line and passes in the parameters.

Where I’m running into a problem, is that I need to be able to call an instance of KRE that resides on a remote server (cannot run it on the deployment server). How exactly do I do that? I also think I saw somewhere that Katalon can return an exit code? Essentially, we’d like to be able to say if 95% or more of tests passed, then complete the build. Otherwise, roll it back. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey Eric,
just wondering is there any updates here?

Everything needed is documented, including exit codes.
For the rest, it is only a matter of how to execute shell scripts in Octopus on a certain remote node / server.
You, as the user of it, should be more familiar with such.
see: Command Syntax (Command-line/Console Mode Execution) | Katalon Docs

  1. Exit CodeBelow is the list of exit codes after console mode execution:
  • 0: the execution passed with no failed or error test case.
  • 1: the execution has failed test cases.
  • 2: the execution has error test cases.
  • 3: the execution has failed test cases and error test cases.
  • 4: the execution cannot start because of invalid arguments.
