Open the Test Cases/TC1. It creates a file in the project directory.
File f = new File("./data.txt")
f.text = "Hello, world"
Run the testcase
Tests Explorer in Katalon Studio GUI does not show the added file automatically
Click the pane of Tests Explorer, right click to show the drop down menu, select “Reflesh”
After “Refresh”, still the added file is not shown .
Close the project, and reopen it. Then the added file is finally recognized and showed.
my argument
I have been aware of this bug for 4 years. This is too basic, too trivial to report. I hoped it would be fixed by Katalon team without any bug report from users. But this problem survived long time. Finally Jan 2022 I decided to report this as a bug.
Katalon Studio does not recognise externally added files automatically at all. It is a shame. This makes me feel your product an unprofessional toy. You know, Visual Studio Code does, IntelliJ IDEA does.
While we’re here, it doesn’t seem possible to refresh the Profiles folder.You either have to close and reopen Katalon or, sometimes, reload the project.
This question has nothing to do with the original topic “Katalon Studio does not recognize externally added files”. Off-topic posts make the forum mess. You should rather create a new topic for your question, rather than appending an off-topic question.
If you write a code and got errors, then we would be able read the code and to make comments on the errros trying to find how to fix it. Without any code, it is hard for others to guess what you wan to do.
