If I try opening a test suite Katalon isn’t responding anymore for 2 minutes. 25% CPU (so 1 complete core) until something happens again. Katalon 8.0.5
yes, Katalon 8 isn’t usable for us. According to release notes performance should be enhanced but it is way way dicreased.
I opened this morning 07:15 German Time Katalon and it was finished after 4 minutes.
After that I opened Payment_Flow_Login test which took another 2 minutes.
This log is attached
I have a i5 8th gen, SSD and 16gb RAM.
Katalon was always very slow on my PC. But a lot faster than now. Also a colleague faced this problem now with Katalon 8.
I opened this morning 07:15 German Time Katalon and it was finished after 4 minutes.
After that I opened Payment_Flow_Login test which took another 2 minutes.
Does Payment_Flow_Login test case have variables or not?
Sorry for the late reply. I waited for a notification via mail but didn’t receive any.
So @kazurayam I deleted the folder but without any advantages in loading times.
@duyluong Yes! We use variables extensively. Payflow Login Test has 48 variables partially used multiple times in 10 sub test cases with additional sub test cases.
But I see the issue is know according to analysis of @kazurayam. I only thought it’s solved in 8.0.5 and i am not fully aware of what amout of variables is normal as I don’t know any other company which is using Katalon but us ^^
The root cause is very technical problem that relates to the function that displays test case variables. When calculating some expressions in Groovy, we need to use GroovyClassLoader that need to load the open project classpath. The classpath need to be cached instead of calculating every time to prevent performance issue whenever we use it. Our devs did a mistake when merging code of improving loading project performance. This maybe an issue of our process, we are sorry about that.
This issue happened in v8.0 onward and didn’t happen in v7.9.1 or earlier.
We just released v8.1.0.beta that includes the fix for this issue. Please try it out and help us confirm the issue has been resolved or not before the official release.
Hi @duyluong, we have been running the Beta since Friday, and it is working great so far. No Issues opening or saving test cases with many variables on the variables tab.
Thanks for the quick fix. Our team is extremely happy.
