Automatically upgrading Chrome for Testing! — It is a poor joke.
Don’t do that!
What is the benefit of Chrome for Testing? — I can fix its version in my environment. I can stay with a previous version as needed.
Ordinary Chrome browser automatically upgrade itself to the latest version, which sometimes causes problems like:
Chrome for Testing does NOT automatically upgrade itself. Therefore I have a chance to keep on using a previous version so that I can refrain from unplanned changes in the new Chrome affecting our tests. This is the whole reason why I prefer Chrome for Testing to the ordinary Chrome browser.
If Chrome for Testing is automatically upgraded by Katalon, it is no different from the ordinary Chrome browser.
I am afraid, Katalon’s developers do not understand the value of Chrome for Testing: I want to use Chrome for Testing when I want to stay with a previous version. Katalon Studio 10.2.1 spoiled Chrome for Testing. ![]()
Katalon tends to try automate everything — automation is their reason-d’etre, perhaps. But, in this case, their effort was wrongly directed.
I wouldn’t use v10.2.1.
