Integrating Docker with Azure to run Katalon Studio can streamline your testing processes, but it often presents challenges, especially when dealing with project paths and container configurations. In this guide, we will address a common issue related to executing Katalon tests within a Docker container and provide a straightforward solution.
Understanding the Challenge
The typical scenario involves attempting to run a Katalon test suite located within a Docker container. You might have successfully integrated Docker into Azure and cloned your Katalon project into the container. However, when executing the test suite, you encounter an error indicating that the project cannot be found.
Common Error Message:
Invalid argument: Cannot find project '/tmp/katalon_execute/project'.Solution Overview
The root cause of this issue lies in the mismatch between the expected project path and the actual location of your cloned project. Here’s a step-by-step guide to resolving this problem:
Steps to Resolve:
- Ensure that your project is correctly cloned within the Docker container. The typical path is
/katalon/katalon/source. - Verify the project path you are specifying in your Docker run command. It should match the location where your project is cloned.
- Modify your Docker run command to correctly reflect the project path. For example:
docker run -t --rm -v /home/docker/katalontest:/katalon/katalon/source katalonstudio/katalon katalon-execute.sh -browserType="Chrome" -retry=0 -statusDelay=15 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/Test" -projectPath=/katalon/katalon/source
Additional Tips
Always refer to the official documentation for Docker and Katalon Studio to ensure that you are following best practices and utilizing the most recent updates.
