Hello, I followed this doc in order to open Chrome with a specific profile : [https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Execution+Settings#ExecutionSettings-DesiredCapabilities](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 > 11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [INFO] - Starting ‘Chrome’ driver > 11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [INFO] - User set preference: [‘applicationCacheEnabled’, ‘false’] > 11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [INFO] - User set preference: [‘browserName’, ‘chrome’] > 11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [INFO] - User set preference: [‘args’, ‘[user-data-dir=/Users/xxxxx/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User/ Data/Profile/ 3, disable-web-security, allow-running-insecure-content, auto-open-devtools-for-tabs]’] > 11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [INFO] - User set preference: [‘start-maximized’, ‘’] > 11-21-2017 04:59:50 PM - [INFO] - Action delay is set to 0 seconds > Starting ChromeDriver 2.33.506120 […] ---

That is an issue from Katalon Studio. We will fix this soon along with issue of mobile testing. ---

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

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](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46308698/how-to-set-the-device-metrics-parameters-for-chrome-mobile-emulator-in-selenium) ---

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: ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/mt/wj4nk0s95lm0.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/mt/wj4nk0s95lm0.png") 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.

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. ---
