CircleCI - Katalon Orb

Note:

  • Katalon TestOps CI is another way to execute or schedule Katalon Studio tests remotely. To learn more about Katalon TestOps CI, seeTest Planning Overview.

Orbs are shareable packages of configuration elements, including jobs, commands, and executors. See CircleCI documents about Orbs: Orbs Introduction Cloud.

Katalon Orb enables you to execute Katalon tests with your CircleCI CI/CD pipeline. We recommend getting the latest version from the CircleCI Orb registry page. Download the latest Katalon Orb on CircleCI: katalon/katalon-studio.

Setup and Configuration​

Important:

To run your test with Katalon Orb, you need to establish a connection between your Katalon project in GitHub and CircleCI. Log in to CircleCI using your GitHub account.

Prepare Your Project In GitHub​

  1. Use your repository on GitHub or create a new one to store your Katalon project code.

  2. To run the test in CircleCI, create a .circleci folder in the GitHub repository and add a .yml file containing Katalon commands (e.g., katalon-studio-samples/ci-samples/.circleci/config.yml), then commit. See the example of the config.yml file below.

    Note:

    • You can only configure katalonstudio/run to run Katalon tests in the Orb source code. For the supported options, see Command syntax document.
