Katalon suite taking 30 seconds between steps and I can't figure out why

Miscellaneous
36

I have got an idea.

I would be able to develop custom keywords that modifies the globalSmartWaitEnabled property and the localSmartWaitEnabled property ON and OFF on the fly to override the "Project > Settings > Execution > Web UI > Default Smart Wait” setting.

That is, I believe, what @kevin.jackey wants.

In the Keyword dir, make a package “com.kazurayam.ks” and a class

package com.kazurayam.ks

import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration
import com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException
import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIKeywordMain

public class ToggleSmartWait {
	
	public static void toggleON() throws StepFailedException {
		WebUIKeywordMain.runKeyword({
			RunConfiguration.getExecutionProperties().put(RunConfiguration.GLOBAL_SMART_WAIT_MODE, true)
			RunConfiguration.getExecutionProperties().put(RunConfiguration.LOCAL_SMART_WAIT_MODE, true)
		}, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE, true, "Unable to enable smart wait !")	
	}
	
	public static void toggleOFF() throws StepFailedException {
		WebUIKeywordMain.runKeyword({
			RunConfiguration.getExecutionProperties().put(RunConfiguration.LOCAL_SMART_WAIT_MODE, false);
		}, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE, true, "Unable to disable smart wait !");
	}
}

That’s all we need.
