This issue has been fixed by my team mate (Dennis) by doing the following - this solution combines a Global Variable in a Katalon Profile with a custom keyword.

  1. Add a new variable in a profile - this is done in your Katalon project, go to Tests Explorer under Profiles > Default and set the following:
    Name = G_FFProfile
    Value = (this is the name of your firefox profile containing your certs, extensions, bookmarks, etc. that you need to run your tests)I created a new firefox profile and called it Katalon and then used Katalon for the Value above. Ensure your certs are available in the chosen profile.
  2. In Katalon Test Explorer, under Keywords, create a custom keyword (i.e. startBrowserWithProfile) and copy/paste/save the following code (taken from post by kazurayam) into the new custom keyword:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxOptions
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxProfile
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.internal.ProfilesIni
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.DriverFactory
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.driver.WebUIDriverType
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

public class startBrowserWithProfile {
@keyword
def void startBrowser() {
//WebUI.openBrowser(’’)
WebUIDriverType executedBrowser = DriverFactory.getExecutedBrowser()
switch(executedBrowser) {
case WebUIDriverType.FIREFOX_DRIVER: // “Firefox”
ProfilesIni profile = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile FF = profile.getProfile(GlobalVariable.G_FFProfile);
FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions().setProfile(FF);
System.setProperty(‘webdriver.gecko.driver’, DriverFactory.getGeckoDriverPath())
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
// let Katalon Studio to use the WebDriver created here
DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(driver)
break
}
}
}

  1. In your Katalon script, replace the “Start Browser” keyword by selecting Add > Custom > Keyword and selecting the new custom keyword (i.e. startBrowserWithProfile) from the list.
