> [@kong22](#): > > katalon recorder 5.5.4 cant read csv file You mean it can’t read JSON file, is that correct? Or do you mean it says that CSV file is a JSON file. ---

[Lera\_date\_numbers.zip](https://forum.katalon.com/uploads/short-url/dVc1681BetIope03sVwfnxmpqth.zip) (204 Bytes) Of couse, I can, but here it is nothing interesting. I convert this file to json and Katalon recoder has read it. The problem is that the recoder says that CSV file is a JSON file, so it tries to read it as JSON and after gives us a mistake like this: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/4/9/49defe25f685e11313392f7cda92a4504fb960eb.png) In the previous version we had to files types to add csv or json now they are connected. ---

Hi guys, in case these issues are stopping your work. Katalon Recorder is open-sourced and we also released earlier versions. You can temporarily disable the current version of KR, download [the source code of 5.5.2.4](https://github.com/katalon-studio/katalon-recorder/releases/tag/v5.5.2.4) and [install an unpacked extension into Chrome](https://webkul.com/blog/how-to-install-the-unpacked-extension-in-chrome/) to use an earlier version. I truly apologize for the inconvenience and our team are working on fixing the issues. ---

Hi everyone, KR 5.5.4.1 is released and we have fixed the following issues: - Fixed an issue where users cannot execute tests with CSV files on Windows. - Fixed an issue where copy and pasting a command does not work as expected. - Fixed an issue where users cannot open .krecorder files. - Fixed an issue where users can’t see test steps’ statuses after executions. - Fixed an issue where users can’t visually distinguish between passed and failed tests. Please try it out and see if it works! ---

Hi @akhi.hk If your script’s main purpose is to write things down to CSV files then yes it will not work as expected. `appendToCSV` is one of the commands that’s KR-specific so it’s going to be commented out when you export your tests to KS. Note that KS does provide ways to write values to files, it’s just different than in KR. ---
