Hello,
I deactivated SMART_XPATH option in katalon studio (with button Smart xpath “auto healing”) because I do not want to search for every xpath if the first one fail .

but when launching test suite trough “Katalon runtime”, SMART_XPATH is activated again.

Is it possible to deactivate this option also in “Runtime Engine” ?

Example of Jenkins log showing katalonc is using SMART_XPATH :

Hello,
some properties files was not commited correctly and in particular this one :
settings/external/com.katalon.katalon-studio-smart-xpath.properties

after pushing this properties file, Katalon runtime inactivate SMART_XPATH feature as I wanted ! :grin:

A little remark about properties files, : This files would be much easier to manage within git if their timestamp was not changing each time we go in menu projet settings, or every days for some files .
Example with settings/internal/com.kms.katalon.composer.testcase.properties which change of timestamp each day :
#Thu Jun 04 09:08:09 CEST 2020
testCaseTag=""
