🚨 [Announcement] Chrome 142 Recording Issue

Hi Katalon Community,

We’ve identified a critical issue affecting the Record feature in Chrome version 142. When launching a recording session through Katalon Studio, the browser opens successfully, but no actions are captured.

Issue Summary:
Chrome 142 has stopped supporting unpacked extension loading during runtime, preventing users from recording test cases when launching new browser instances in Katalon Studio.

Workarounds:

  • For Recorder Plus: Use Edge Chromium
  • For Built-in Recorder: Use Edge Chromium, Firefox, or other supported browsers
  • Or record with Active Browser mode

Our team is actively developing a hot-fix to address this issue. We’ll notify you immediately when the update is ready.

Happy testing as always,

-Bella and the Katalon Community Team
