Unable to apply global directory file storage path in 6.0.5

I just upgraded to 6.0.5 and the global variable I have set up to define a directory structure for screenshots (suggested in this forum), is suddenly no longer working. Any ideas why? 2019-03-07_16-59-04

Are you importing RunConfiguration?

import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration

I use it in 6.0.5 in every Test execution and it’s working fine here.

3

Yeah, I have import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration set in the start of my script. Whyyyyy… :thinking:

4

What I am finding quite odd is my </> Script View for Globals is completely empty in 6.0.5… hmmm

5

Fixed in next release. Actually, you can get it early if you’re willing to try the beta: [Updated - Mar 8th] Beta release 6.0.6

6

Might need to show us more of your code…

7

I’ll give it a go - thanks!

Bah… it’s still failing but at least I can see the variables in script mode. Test case fails right at the start:

import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory.findTestData
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject

import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestData as TestData
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject as TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable
import java.time.LocalDateTime
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter
import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration
import java.io.File
import java.nio.file.Files
import java.nio.file.Path
import java.nio.file.Paths

// Define dateTime variable (used for folder naming structure)
LocalDateTime now = LocalDateTime.now()
dateTime = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(“yyyyMMdd_HHmmss”).format(now)

// Create screenshot folder
String path = (imgDir + dateTime + File.separator)
Path outputDir = Paths.get(path)
Files.createDirectories(outputDir)
GlobalVariable.filepath = path

imgDir is pointed to a Global Variable which is defined as:
imgDir RunConfiguration.getProjectDir() + ‘/Reports/Screenshots/PX/’

Script seems to be barfing on the global variable definition (this was working flawlessly until I upgraded, not sure what happened!).

Error again:

Appreciate the help!

Using a GV is not your only option here. You could call a static somewhere early (test listener?) and set a global of your own which you import “everywhere”. IOW, create a proper var in your own keyword class and leave GVs out of the picture.

Interesting. Just re-downloaded 5.10.1 and the same piece of code works without issue. Strange! Well, like you said, there are other ways around it. Thanks for the help!

@devalex88 @YoungNgo

Sorry if this has been reported before but you should probably fix this one asap (if only because a downgrade to 510 fixes the issue).

Hi @Morgan

Please change RunConfiguration to com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration. Btw, we will re-enable this default import in next release.

Thanks
