Could you please share the complete error log - It may be down to the chrome you have or driver being out of date or not compatiable with the version of katalon you have.

Ok so this caused by is always the most important part of the error as this is telling us why its failing. Ive seen this before and adding this - {“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“args”:[“–no-sandbox”,“–disable-infobars”]}} to your chrome properties seems to work. You find this in
settings\internal\com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome.properties

You could also add it through the GUI, also try adding in the properties aswell if the above doesnt work “–disable-dev-shm-usage”

brithwulf · May 15, 2019, 11:08am

I’ve added it through the GUI, but result is the same. It opens browser but does not navigate to the URL.

hpulsford · May 15, 2019, 12:17pm

Try this way instead using just {“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“args”:[“–no-sandbox”,“–disable-infobars”]}}

in Windows navigate to path where this properties is
C:\KatalonStudio\projectName\settings\internal
and there should be properties files are
open properties file with e.g notepad++
and modify there

properties.PNG702x476 33.9 KB

properties2

ps - im getting all this from another topic that had the same issue, maybe have a read of this aswell

brithwulf · May 16, 2019, 7:20am

I’ve changed what you wrote, but I have same problem

hpulsford · May 16, 2019, 8:01am

Really sorry then im all out of ideas, maybe just search the internet for a while, im sure you will find a few SO posts that have the same issue and have found ways of tackling it, but do make sure you have the latest chrome and katalon versions just to rule out that option.

duyluong · May 16, 2019, 8:07am

Maybe this help:

Kill all running chromedriver:

taskkill /F /IM chromedriver.exe

Uninstall chrome and install chrome again.
Restart computer.
If Katalon installed folder is under C:// root folder, please move it another user folder.
Open Katalon and run the test.

Thanks.

brithwulf · May 16, 2019, 10:44am

Can it be a problem ?

brithwulf · May 17, 2019, 8:41am

I did everything according that you said, but I have same problem I don’t know why problem appears when I am trying to execute a test case. Why it does not have problem when I am just recording or spying web ?

duyluong · May 17, 2019, 8:54am

Hi @brithwulf,

We addressed the problem, the last question is: what is your proxy configuration?

Thanks.

brithwulf · May 17, 2019, 8:56am

In katalon preferences I use no proxy or you mean what is my proxy on my machine ?

duyluong · May 17, 2019, 8:57am

Hi @brithwulf,

How about if you change to “Use system proxy configuration”?

brithwulf · May 17, 2019, 11:03am

Changed to “Use system proxy configuration”, but same error appears

brithwulf · May 17, 2019, 1:10pm

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\PATH\\chromedriver.exe")
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver()
DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(driver)
driver.get("google.ge")

This works fine and opens browser with no problem. but WebUI.openBrowser(“link”) does not work.

duyluong · May 17, 2019, 2:58pm

Hi @brithwulf,

We got it, this case will be resolved in v6.1.6 release.

Thanks for your report.

brithwulf · May 20, 2019, 6:52am

Thank you, good to hear that.
