Thank you, kazurayam. Still, I’d like to get advise from KATALON (who didn’t let us know that .cache should be ignored in the first place) on how exactly to get rid of the .cache folder that has already gotten into GitHub REMOTE REPOSITORY (not just commited to Git locally) and is now in multiple local Git repositories.
By the way, should this file incuded in .gitignore
It looks like it gets updated all the time, which is not a problem if there is just one SDET is working on some Katalon project. But what if there are multiple SDETs are working on the same project?
No. This is not a feature request. This is reporting a bug carelessly made at ver 8.2.0.
Improved responsiveness and loading time for big projects in Katalon Studio. Results from our benchmarking tests show: renaming/opening test cases 2x faster, moving test cases 1.5x faster.
Katalon team introduced the .cache/ folder newly at v8.2.0. You should have changed the default .gitignore file at the same time, but you didn’t. I regard it is a bug caused by your carelessness.
Therefore I think Katalon team is supposed to be more careful about the .gitignore. Otherwise problems around Git may arise, as many of Katalon users are not experienced enough about Git.
If you do not like to change .gitignore, then an alternative is to change Katalon Studio.
Stop using the .cache file at all.
The .cache file was introduced at v8.0.0 for “performance improvement”. But in my opinion, the idea was not successful. It just increased the risk of problems. See my previous post:
