READ THIS BEFORE OPENING A KATALON PROJECT FOR THE FIRST TIME

Katalon-Projects use gradle tasks to perform setup tasks i.e. getting dependencies To get started, use IntelliJ IDEA to synchronize the gradle tasks and run the katalonCopyDependencies tasks in the project you are opening for the first time.

Alternatively you can run the following gradle commands in the project you would like to configure.

• ./gradlew :$PROJECT:katalonCopyDependencies

Once start-up files have been initialized, you can open the $PROJECT in Katalon.

Many of the scripts in the _cli do not actually work without configuration of ENV variables in AWS SecretsManager. ENV variables are set by retrieving secrets from AWS.

Demo Docker Configuration

The Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml files contain sample configuration that can be used to network a katalon docker instance with a mysql database. Sample docker scripts can be found in _cli/docker

AwsKeywords.jar plugin

To update the aws keywords jar for all projects:

1. Run the clean gradle task (Tasks>build>clean)
2. Run the Keywords specific katalonPluginPackage gradle task (Keywords>Tasks>other>katalonPluginPackage) - this step takes a bit of time (can take 5+ minutes), wait for it to finish
3. Move the generated AwsKeywords*.jar file found in AwsKeywords/build/libs into the $PROJECT/Drivers folder.
4. Finally, you will need to run katalonCopyDependencies gradle task (Project:Tasks>other>katalonCopyDependencies) again before opening a project in Katalon. If this step is forgotten, errors will be present when opening the project in Katalon.
