I can send you the project in a private message.

Hi Miguel,

Please provide to me your Katalon Studio logs first: \config\.metadata\.log. If it is possible then also send me your project as well 🙂

Regards

Hello Vinh Nguyen, I am experiencing something similar but in Windows. I am not able to load my projects. I get this exception in the log file:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench 4 0 2018-01-29 17:23:46.222

I am almost letting this app go, because I am not able to find anything. I am admin in my machine. I checked all the files and they are unblocked. I whitelisted the executable in the AntiVirus. I don’t know what else to do. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I used as a workaround run the project as Root in the Console and worked, so most probably is permissions issue.
