I’ve just downloaedl verssion 5.3.0 of Katalon Studio which should support import of Selenium IDE Scripts… however it seems only to work with my most basic scripts. I get an Error “Cannot import Selenium IDE scripts” message without further explanation. Can I debug this? Is there a log? Any help? ---

As we’ve indicated, this is currently in Beta phase, so there are some scripts can’t be imported successfully. Can I have your original Selenium IDE script? ---

Hi, I’m facing the same issue here: 1. Exported as Test Suite from Katalon Recorder as .groovy 2. In Katalon-Studio: File -\> Import as Selenium IDE Scripts 3. Error: Cannot import Selenium IDE Scripts So, I followed the instructions described here: [http://forum.katalon.com/discussion/5384/exporting-katalon-recorder-test-scripts-for-use-in-katalon-studio](http://forum.katalon.com/discussion/5384/exporting-katalon-recorder-test-scripts-for-use-in-katalon-studio) It’s a very simple Test Suite containing one rather short test case, which I wrote only in order to test the import functionality of Katalon Studio. Has anyone an idea, how to handle this? Best, Florian ---
