ZS, What was your previous version of Katalon? I imagine the devs will want to know that. ---

I think the one just before 5.7.0 as I had installed it recently ---

To give this some context: I have an image which is using the katalon studio image: [https://github.com/katalon-studio/docker-images](https://github.com/katalon-studio/docker-images) and I’ve downloaded my project files in that image. on my local I’m calling a script which looks like: ```auto katalon_opts='-retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -testSuiteCollectionPath="Test Suites/TS_RegressionTest"docker run --rm -v my/local/project/root/dir:/katalon/katalon/source:ro -v /my/local/report/dir:/katalon/katalon/report -e KATALON_OPTS="$katalon_opts" MyDockerImageIn the previous version of Katalon Studio I kept getting the error /Test Suites/TS_RegressionTest not foundSo I thought it may be an issue with the version I'm using, maybe it doesn't support test suite collections (because it worked with normal test suites)and I upgraded it to the latest version. Now the same command to run the shell script above is resulting in the exception I posted.Hope this helps? ``` ---

No I’m not using your sample project. I’ve got my own. I meant I am using the katalon studio image as the base of another image which is being used in a container to download my project files as a jar file from the nexus repo ---

However the main question is which Katalon Studio version you’ve used in your command before? And for now? You said you use our base image, so looks like its version is 5.4? ---

That fixed it! It’s now back to the original bug Test suite ‘/Test Suites/mytestsuite’ not found. should I open a new thread for that? ---

Ah, another question is which Katalon Studio version you’ve used in your command **before**? You said you use our base image, so looks like its version is 5.4? It’s strange because if you upgraded your Katalon Studio to 5.7, then when you open your project it should not throw an error in this case. Is there any chance you use Katalon Studio 5.7 to open the project once, and Katalon Studio version used in your command is NOT 5.7? Just a guess ---

I never got the error when i opened Katalon Studio. Just when I ran the commands. [Next page](https://forum.katalon.com/t/upgraded-to-5-7-0-and-getting-nullpointerexceptions/13105.md?page=2)
