Execute Katalon Studio tests with Jenkins Pipeline Script (Jenkinsfile)

Jenkins Pipeline (Jenkinsfile) provides an extensible set of tools for modeling simple-to-complex delivery pipelines. To learn more about creating a Jenkinsfile, you can refer to this Jenkins document: Using a Jenkinsfile.

Important:

Jenkins installed. Follow the instructions in this Jenkins document for installation: Getting started.
Katalon Runtime Engine (KRE) installed. You can download Katalon Runtime Engine here: Katalon products.
An active Katalon Runtime Engine license. To learn more about activating the Katalon Runtime Engine license, you can refer to this document: Activate Katalon License.

This tutorial shows you how to execute Katalon Studio tests in Jenkins with Jenkins Pipeline Script (Jenkinsfile). Follow these steps:

In the Jenkins Dashboard, go to New Item and create a Jenkins Pipeline project.
In the Definition dropdown list, select Pipeline Script.

Copy and paste the following command-line arguments in the Script box:

For Windows

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                bat """
                cd  <KRE installed folder>
                katalonc  -projectPath="<projectpath>" -browserType="<browser>" -retry=<number of retry times> -statusDelay=<seconds> -testSuitePath="<path>" -apiKey="<user API key>" -orgID=<Katalon_OrgID>
                """

            }

        }

    }

}

Windows Pipeline script

For example:

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                bat """
                cd  C:\Users\NAH\Desktop\Katalon_Studio_Engine_Windows_64-8.1.0
                katalonc  -projectPath="C:\Users\NAH\Desktop\ci-samples-master\test.prj" -browserType="Chrome" -retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/TS_RegressionTest" -apiKey="<user API key>" -orgID=<Katalon_OrgID>
                """

            }

        }

    }

}

For macOS/Linux

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh '''
                cd  <KRE installed folder>
                ./katalonc  -projectPath="<projectpath>" -browserType="<browse" -retry=<number of retry time> -statusDelay=<seconds> -testSuitePath="<path>" -apiKey="<user API key>" -orgID=<Katalon_OrgID>
                '''

            }

        }

    }

}

Mac Pipeline script

For example:

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh '''
                cd  /Users/yen.nguyen/Downloads/Katalon_Studio_Engine_MacOS-8.1.0/Katalon\\ Studio\\ Engine.app/Contents/MacOS
                ./katalonc  -projectPath="/Users/yen.nguyen/Downloads/ci-samples-master/test.prj" -browserType="Chrome" -retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/TS_RegressionTest" -apiKey="<user API key>" -orgID=<Katalon_OrgID>
                '''

            }

        }
