Hi there, Thank you very much for your topic. Please note that it may take a little while before a member of our community or from Katalon team responds to you. Thanks!

Hi @dineshh Tried all the steps which is mentioned in the similar issue link which you have shared. Still the issue is not resolved.

The log in the original post has the following lines: [image] nandhini.sri_1: 2024-08-13 18:20:37.048 ERROR c.k.k.core.keyword.internal.KeywordMain - ❌ Unable to open browser with url: 'url link' (Root cause: com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to open browser with url: 'url link' ... at ELM_TestListener.LoginToELM(ELM_TestListener.groovy:331) It impiles to me that the Test Listeners/ELM_TestListner has a code section like: class ELM_TestListener { @BeforeTestCase def LoginToELM(TestCaseContext testCaseContext) { WebUI.openBrowser("url link") } } Of course, my guess would be wrong. The line WebUI.openBrowser("url link") is nonsense. But how your code look like actually? Please show your code. The title of this issue seems to be insisting that the same code worked OK prior to 12 Aug 2024. Do you really think so? Do you have any idea what triggered the change?

Hi @kazurayam, I haven’t changed anything suddenly while running the testcase I faced the issue. Here is the code which I’m using via test listener def LoginToELM(String ELMServer_Env , String sUsername, String sPassword) { ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions(); options.setExperimentalOption("userAutomationExtension", false); options.addArguments("--disable-extensions"); DesiredCapabilities cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome(); LoggingPreferences logs = new LoggingPreferences(); logs.enable(LogType.BROWSER, Level.ALL); cap.setCapability(CapabilityType.LOGGING_PREFS, logs) cap.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options) def folder = new File("C:\\KatalonTemp") if (!folder.exists()) { folder.mkdir() } System.properties['webdriver.chrome.logfile'] = "C:\\KatalonTemp\\chromedriver.log" System.properties['webdriver.chrome.verboseLogging'] = true //WebUI.deleteAllCookies() WebUI.openBrowser(ELMServer_Env) WebUI.comment(ELMServer_Env) WebUI.delay(GlobalVariable.G_iShortDelay) //WebUI.switchToWindowUrl(GlobalVariable.G_sLoginWindowURL, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver() driver.findElement(By.tagName("html")).sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "0")) try { WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Txt_UserID'), 10) }catch(Exception e){ WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Txt_UserID'), 10, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) } // It will return the parent window name as a String String parent=driver.getWindowHandle(); Set s=driver.getWindowHandles(); int WindowsSize= s.size() println(WindowsSize) if(WindowsSize>1) { // Now iterate using Iterator Iterator I1= s.iterator(); while(I1.hasNext()) { String child_window=I1.next(); if(!parent.equals(child_window)) { driver.switchTo().window(child_window); System.out.println(driver.switchTo().window(child_window).getTitle()); WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Txt_UserID'), sUsername) WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Txt_Password'), sPassword) //WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Common/Buttons/Btn_Login')) //CustomKeywords.'com.ELM.Optional.JSClick'(findTestObject('Object Repository/Common/Buttons/Btn_Login')) WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Btn_LogIn')) } } //switch to the parent window driver.switchTo().window(parent); println(driver.switchTo().window(parent).getTitle()) }else { WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Txt_UserID'), sUsername) WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Txt_Password'), sPassword) //WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Common/Buttons/Btn_Login')) //CustomKeywords.'com.ELM.Optional.JSClick'(findTestObject('Object Repository/Common/Buttons/Btn_Login')) WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/LoginPage/Btn_LogIn')) } //WebUI.switchToWindowIndex(0, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) //driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1225, 630)) //WebUI.maximizeWindow() try { WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/HomePage/Pop_UserProfile'), 10) WebUI.waitForElementPresent(findTestObject('Object Repository/HomePage/Pop_UserProfile'), 10, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) }catch(Exception e){ WebUI.comment("UseProfile Element is not found") } }

Thank you for disclosiing your code. Your code has the following lines: [image] nandhini.sri_1: def LoginToELM(String ELMServer_Env , String sUsername, String sPassword) { ... WebUI.openBrowser(ELMServer_Env) ... I suspect that the parameter “ELMServer_Env” accepted a string value “url link”. Firstly I would propose you to carry out a “print debug”. You want to make the LoginToELM function to inform you a bit more how the parameter “ELMServer_Env” was set. And you want to change the function a bit more defensive against unexpected values given. So, I would propose you to change it as follows: def LoginToELM(String ELMServer_Env , String sUsername, String sPassword) { assert (ELMServer_Env.startsWith('http://') || ELMServer_Env.startsWith('https://') : "ELMServer_Env given is " + ELMServer_Env + ", sUsername is " + sUsername + ", sPassword is " + sPassword ... WebUI.openBrowser(ELMServer_Env) ... Try running it. Possibly your test will fail again, but will give you a bit more information. The diagnostics will tell you that there is something wrong somewhere outside the LoginToELM() function.

Directly also I have passed and checked. It is not working.

only that url is not working or any URL?
