A big thanks to @kazurayam and @depapp for their valuable contributions, and to our Katalon support team for providing insightful KShare articles! :rocket::clap:

News/threads Description
Transforming execution0.log file using XSLT @kazurayam has acknowledged the problem that the execution0.log file in Katalon Studio stores all test suite execution logs in XML format, often making it too large and detailed to review easily. Since Katalon Studio doesn’t support direct customization of log files, a script is needed to transform the log into a more readable format. Please check out his suggestion
A utility class RunConfigurationModifier Katalon Studio allows users to set the Default wait for element timeout in the Project Settings > Execution panel. While the RunConfiguration class provides a getTimeOut() method to retrieve this value, it lacks a setTimeOut(int) method, meaning users cannot update it at runtime through code. You can find the workaround to modify this timeout dynamically here.
BDD Project Example for Katalon Latest Version (v10.x.x and v9.x.x) The latest Katalon update has made BDD testing more challenging, leading to errors for many users. To help, @depapp is sharing his project as a guide with instructions to follow.
