Katalon Debian Headless Browser

Question

I'm switching from Selenium to Katalon and i faced some problems. I'm using Jenkins which is installed on Debian OS: I'm running this command:

./katalon --args -runMode=console -projectPath="/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/katalon_test/workspace/spot-systemtest/src/katalon/spot/katalon test.prj" \
-reportFolder="Reports" -reportFileName="report" \
-retry=0 -testSuitePath="Test Suites/WarmUp" \
-browserType="Headless"

and I'm getting exception during execution:

10-05-2017 06:41:34 AM - [ERROR] - Test Cases/core/login spot2 FAILED because (of) java.awt.HeadlessException: 
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.

When i'm setting variable to ":0" it complains:

10-05-2017 06:24:49 AM - [ERROR] - Test Cases/core/login spot2 FAILED because (of) java.awt.AWTError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

There is no XServer, because this is server OS.

I tired to add env. variable: export JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true"

also i tried to pass this parameter in katalon execution. Unfortunately nothing helped.

Second thing. I'm getting errors on every step like this java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIAbstractKeyword

the full stack trace is here

I think you need to add additional configurations to your Jenkins as well.

Install this plugin: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Xvfb+Plugin
After you've installed it, use this settings in 'Additional Settings' field of this plugin:

export DISPLAY=:1.0

For your other issue, can you post the full test case script?
