Error: Wrong Syntax when trying to run a test via Emulator

Product Forums Katalon Studio

Hi guys! I am a non-developer new user. I have been trying to understand Katalon while a create and run short and simple tests. For now, I have been making tests for Android.

I have been working with my phone so far. Yesterday I tried to make Katalon work with Blueshift and after a few hours trying to figure out why the emulator was not being recognized, I finally made.

The emulator gets recognized and I can start using the recorder to make tests, however, when I try to run the tests I just created I get a pretty ugly

Hi @cesarl ,

This error means your test case has some invalid syntax in the script. To troubleshoot this problem, you can open Problem tab which is under the bottom panel or open the Script view of your test case to view the issue

I forgot to say that I was able to run the test cases in my physical phone. The error was being triggered when I tried to run the same tests via Emulator (Bluestack or Android Studio). In this case the Problem tab was empty.

Anyway I just found the solution. I just added the device (the virtual one) in the Project Settings/Desire Capabilities/Mobile/Android
