I’m encountering an error while trying to deploy using Katalon with FileMaker. After double-clicking to open a file, I receive below error.

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @developers3,

Sorry for late response.

It looks like you’re facing a WebDriverException when trying to capture Windows elements in Katalon while working with FileMaker.

I would like to suggest that:

  1. Ensure Windows Application Driver (WinAppDriver) is Running

    • Open Command Prompt as Administrator and start WinAppDriver manually:
      WinAppDriver.exe
    • If it’s not installed, download it from Microsoft’s official GitHub.

  2. Check Permissions

    • Run Katalon Studio as Administrator to avoid permission issues when interacting with FileMaker.

  3. Verify Application Under Test (AUT) Launching

    • If FileMaker is not launched via Katalon, ensure you’re using Windows.startApplication('path_to_exe') before interacting with elements.

  4. Adjust Element Locator Strategy

    • Instead of relying solely on Text_ objects, try capturing elements using XPath or Automation ID via Inspect.exe (built-in Windows tool).

  5. Restart & Reinstall Dependencies

    • Restart your system and try again.
    • If the issue persists, reinstall WinAppDriver and ensure Windows SDK is installed.

Feel free to check and let me know if it works. If you no longer work on this, please close this
