Desired capabilities are not taken into account

Hello,

I followed this doc in order to open Chrome with a specific profile : https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Execution+Settings#ExecutionSettings-DesiredCapabilities

But somehow the same basic session is opened (no profile, no maximized window…)

I’m on Katalon 5.1.0 and here is what my “com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome.properties” file looks like :

{"CHROME_DRIVER":{"applicationCacheEnabled":false,"browserName":"chrome","args":["user-data-dir\u003d/Users/xxxxx/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User/ Data/Profile/ 3","disable-web-security","allow-running-insecure-content","auto-open-devtools-for-tabs"],"start-maximized":""}}

When I launch the browser, I have this in the console :

11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [START] - Start action : openBrowser
11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [INFO] - Opening browser

I think you have to use a Custom execution instead of Chrome for iOS : https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Execution+Settings#ExecutionSettings-WebUISettings

Edit : it does seem there is no support anymore for iOS in versions 5.1.0.1/5.1.0.2

Edit 2 : It seems it is not supported on windows : https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Mobile+on+macOS

I think you need a mobileEmulation dictionary containing the deviceMetrics and userAgent, as well as a chromeOption dictionary containing the parameter “mobileEmulation”.

I didn’t test it but here is the link I base this from : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46308698/how-to-set-the-device-metrics-parameters-for-chrome-mobile-emulator-in-selenium

Please use Katalon Studio 5.1.0.2. It addresses issues with desired capabilities.

Please show me your settings, the error message is displayed obviously: “Root cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The mobile device is missing. Please select the mobile device to be executed and try again.”

Hi. I’m new to Katalon Studio; I too have set desired capabilities for Chrome. My com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome.properties is configured as follows:

{“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“arg”:[“disable-web-security”,“disable-infobars”,“allow-running-insecure-content”,“disable-extensions”,“test-type”,“no-sandbox”,“no-first-run”,“start-maximized”,“homepage\u003dabout:blank”,false,“disable-plugins”,true,“no-sandbox”],“useAutomationExtension”:false,“key”:“webdriver.chrome.driver”,“path”:“C:\Drivers\chromedriver.exe”,“profile”:“C:\Users\**********\AppData\Roaming\AutomationProfile”}}

When I run my script(s), I’m encountering the following error:

I’m working in a network where the browser properties are **tightly** managed by administrators. I’m trying to bypass the loading of any extensions, a la Chromedriver, using desired capabilities.

Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Walker

I’m still not able to launch any test, due to the desired capabilities issue(s). I posted a question on 12/11/17, received no response. Is there anyone from Katalon actually reviewing or responding to customer issues, or not? Either way, the desired capabilities issue is a blocker for many users and the lack of replicable directions/guidance from Katalon doesn’t look well, from the perspective of someone evaluating the product.
