In CI/CD environment, it is likely that a Katalon project is always freshly cloned out of the Source Code Repository (Git, Svn, etc) to the execution machine at every CI/CD cycle. This means the project is opened everytime for the first time . In this case user will notice “in CI/CD environment the project opens more slowly in v8.0 than v7.9, no improvement we got” . I am afraid that the “Opening large Projects much faster” at v8.0 will look poor for CI/CD environment.
Thanks for your valuable opinion. In v8.2.0, we did improve KRE to prevent loading custom keywords when opening project because we used DelegatingMetaClass to load custom keyword dynamically so it’s unnecessary to parse custom keywords again. The loading time now is more faster than the older versions. For more details, you can find it out in v8.2.0 release note.
