When You start your runnable item's source code within original runner in IDE or command line,
it is still using Bali Client API and is expecting to get TestExecContext.

Next values need to be defined for local TestExecContext building :
1. Output directory for reports - localBaliRunContext.setResultDir(String dir)
2. Directory to get options list (pattern *.properties) - localBaliRunContext.setPropertiesDir(String dir)
3. Option instance to use as active in test - localBaliRunContext.setOptions(String options)
4. List of resources, planned to used in test - localBaliRunContext.getLocalResources().add( ..instanceof TestExecResource )
5. Name of class under execution (pack.pack.test) - localBaliRunContext.setLocalClass(String className)
6. Some project specific initializations (Browser type, system properties)

see BaseBaliTest.java Update paths accordingly before running test locally.

/* * checking TestExecContext presence, otherwise creates it looking at local parameters */
public static void init(Class testClass) throws Exception {

log.info("Check text exec context in thread: "+Thread.currentThread().getName());
TestExecContext testExecContext = TestExecContextThreadLocal.getTestExecContext();

// if test is not started from Bali - then suite/testExecContext is not initialized
if (testExecContext == null){
// depended to resources
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\selenium\\chromedriver.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.firefox.profile", "default");
LocalRunBaliContext localBaliRunContext = new LocalRunBaliContext();

// reports and artefacts output dir
String resultOutputDir = (System.getProperty("test.report.dir") != null) ? System.getProperty("test.report.dir") : "target/report/"; localBaliRunContext.setResultDir(resultOutputDir);

// options dir
localBaliRunContext.setPropertiesDir("C:/projects/Bali/conf/options/");

// which properties to use in test ? localBaliRunContext.setOptions("ENV_LOCAL");
localBaliRunContext.setLocalClass(testClass.getCanonicalName());

// add here resources You plan to get using getResources(...) API
// set browser type, default - CHROME
String browserType = System.getProperty("browser") != null ? System.getProperty("browser") : Browser.CHROME;
localBaliRunContext.getLocalResources().add(new Browser(browserType,"",false));

// create TestExecContext and set it to TestExecContextThreadLocal
Bali.activateLocalBaliRunContext(localBaliRunContext);
