Using the latest version of Katalon Studio, when I close the tool and re-open my project, it says “Unable to open project” with Reason “IOException”. When clicking into the details, it says “Access Denied”. I tried changing the permissions to the project folder to Full Control hoping that may be the cause but that did not resolve the issue. The only way this gets fixed is by rebooting the computer. Has anyone experienced this issue before?

Anyone??
I’m having the same issue. Is there a work-around that can be provided?
You can check here for some workaround solutions, looks like there are many reasons to be the root causes of your issue 
I am getting the same error in my work environment, having this issue is frustrating. Not sure if it’s the company AntiVirus.
When I use the app in my personal laptop on my home network it works perfectly fine.
Anyone has any other suggestions besides the workarounds that Vinh Nguyen mentioned?
At least one thing that I am sure of is that I am admin in my work laptop. So I have read/write permissions for everything.
I would appreciate any feedback or further suggestions on this issue, since it seems more people is having it and it have not been resolved or found the root cause of the problem.
Thanks.

I get a ResourceException when trying to clone my project from git
Please help to post Katalon Studio logs file also. It’s available in \config\metadata\.log file
By the way, for the current workaround solution until you post that .log file, I would like to address that please try to delete .project file within your project folder and try again.
I ran into this problem as well. I’m using Windows 10. What worked for me was to simply start the Katalon Studio as Administrator.
Hope this helps…

Even I am getting this issue any workaround other than Run as Administrator
I also get error “Unable to open project”, but without any reason with the lastest Katalon Studio version 5.4 on Win 10. Run as Administrator does not work for me. I downgraded Katalon Studio back to version 5.3.1. and it works fine on the same project. Is there any solution for this issue?
Same problem (ResourceException) but only on one of my projects.
… and “Run as admin” didn’t fix the problem…

I’m facing this issue after version upgrade from 5.4.2 to 5.6.
I don’t even find log file at path\config\.metadata\.log.
to share with you.
Hi guys,
I had to face this issue and don’t open the project with KS. If it occurs with project clone from git, try clone and open again with KS. It’s will work well.
