Where to search Katalon Execution Run Logs?

I made a Katalo project “test” which contains a test case “chatty”, which is enclosed in a test suite “TS1”. I ran the TS1. I got some files in the “Reports” folder, as follows.

You would find a file named “execution0.log”. This is the log file you want.

The execution0.log file is in XML like this:

...
<record>
  <date>2023-01-24T08:40:33</date>
  <millis>1674517233420</millis>
  <sequence>3003</sequence>
  <level>INFO</level>
  <class>com.kms.katalon.core.logging.XmlKeywordLogger</class>
  <method>logMessage</method>
  <thread>1</thread>
  <message>998: Hello, world,</message>
  <nestedLevel>1</nestedLevel>
  <escapedJava>false</escapedJava>
</record>
...

The files in the “Reports” folder will be created by running a Test Suite.

A Test Case run won’t produce log files in the “Reports” folder. If you ran the test case “chatty” without Test Suite, where is the execution0.log file? ---- I don’t know. Probablly the file is created in a temporary directory; and its location is not documented.

Perhaps the file will be located in a temporary directory of the Java VM. You can retreive the path of the temp dir by the following code:

import java.nio.file.Files
import java.nio.file.Path

Path tmpDir = Files.createTempDirectory("T");
System.out.println tmpDir.toAbsolutePath().toString()  // e.g. /var/folders/7m/lm7d6nx51kj0kbtnsskz6r3m0000gn/T/T5966623695376206243
