Hello @sujeet.y
Not sure how you updated your chrome driver but see this link:

Updating the Chrome Driver

If you’re like many of the people on here, at some point, you may have faced issue with updating the Chrome Driver on your version of Katalon Studio. This issue may have haunted you for some months, and I may be too late with this post… I have faced this issue before I saw anything about it on here, and come up with a solution independent of this forum… What this issue looks like You click on Tools > Update WebDrivers > Chrome… You wait on that update modal to spawn, do its thing, …

When you encounter the error message “DevToolActivePort file does not exist,” it generally means that there is an issue with locating the DevToolsActivePort file while running your test case in Katalon Studio. This error commonly occurs when the Chrome Driver and Chrome browser are not properly updated. The DevToolsActivePort file is essential for communication between Chrome and the automation tool. To resolve this error, ensure that both the Chrome Driver and Chrome browser are up to date to facilitate the proper execution of the test case without encountering this issue.

What is the version of the Chrome Driver you are using?

ensure both driver and browser are same version. if both aren’t same, update the version manually and run the test case
