I am novice programmer. The Devops team in my organization is asking… how to build the katalon code and later they would use Octopus tool to Deploy it.
Kindly explain in non-technical terms how to build the katalon code.
FYI … We are using GIT_TFS as our source code management tool.
Hmmm in that context, there’s no other way I’m familiar with other than to have an instance of the studio on the target machine, and to open the project at least once, so that the appropriate binaries can get built from source. This topic seems to say the same thing:
Sounds like a feature like this is on the roadmap?
1 - DeOps are probably interested in the build->deployment chain.
2 - If they are thinking of building Katalon from source, ask them to do their jobs and read the introductory material (okay, okay, shortcut: they can’t, it’s proprietary at that point).
So if it’s #1 (because #2 is a non-starter) they’re likely talking about your test code, deploying to a test stage some place, providing reports (perhaps analytics) and then publishing to wherever.
Presumably his Devops team doesn’t know Katalon Studio at all. They do not know they are not supposed to ‘build’ it. They do not want to spend their hours to learn how KS is packaged and how to run it. They asked him a quick question with the assumption in mind that KS is some sort of open source software.
I think that Brandon’s reply is the best answer to the Devops team, plus the link to Console Mode execution, and ask them to learn a bit about KS.
@disover_katalon devops does not have to build it. just to deploy it
it’s already built
and, as other people already mentioned, advice them o read a bit. it won’t hurt!
