How to solve driver not found when running tests in CI/CD using KRE

Product Forums Katalon Studio

I’m facing a strange situation where local test run has no issues, but running tests via CI/CD using KRE > failed with below reason:

com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.BrowserNotOpenedException: Browser is not opened
Driver info: driver.version: unknown

This is happening randomly not all the time - I was not able to find the reason

About my configuration, I wrote a custom webdriver class to pick a local webdriver file within project repo

class ChromeCustomDriver {
	
	 public static WebDriver mydriver = null;
	 public static CommonDriverUtils commonDriverUtils = new CommonDriverUtils();
	
	public void initializeCustomDriver(driver, mode) {
		ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions()
		options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", commonDriverUtils.setDefaultDownloadPath(driver));
		options.addArguments("start-maximized");
		options.addArguments("disable-infobars"); // disabling infobars
		options.addArguments("--disable-extensions"); // disabling extensions
		options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage"); // overcome limited resource problems
		options.addArguments("--no-sandbox"); // Bypass OS security model
		options.addArguments("--ignore-ssl-errors=true")
		options.addArguments("--ignore-certificate-errors")
		options.headless=mode
		options.addArguments("--window-size=1920x1080");
//		options.setBinary('/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome')
		mydriver = new ChromeDriver(options);
		mydriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
		DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(mydriver);
		WebUI.maximizeWindow()
		WebUI.enableSmartWait()
		WebUI.navigateToUrl(GlobalVariable.hostUrl);
//		int loopCount =5;
		WebUI.waitForPageLoad(10)
 }
}

Also, I have a test listener which call the selected browser

class RunDriver {
	/**
	 * Executes before every test case starts.
	 * @param testCaseContext related information of the executed test case.
	 */

	public static ChromeCustomDriver chrome = new ChromeCustomDriver();
	public static FirefoxCustomDriver firefox = new FirefoxCustomDriver();
	public static IECustomDriver ie = new IECustomDriver();

	public void selectBrowser(BROWSER,MODE) {

		switch(BROWSER) {
			case 'Chrome':	chrome.initializeCustomDriver(BROWSER,MODE)
				break;
			case 'Firefox': firefox.initializeCustomDriver(BROWSER,MODE)
				break;
			case 'IE': ie.initializeCustomDriver(BROWSER,MODE)
				break;
			case 'Safari':''
				break;
		}
	}

	@BeforeTestCase
	def initDriver() {
		selectBrowser('Chrome', true)
	}

	@AfterTestCase
	def tearDown() {
		WebUI.closeBrowser();
		//		DriverFactory.closeWebDriver();
	}
}

Everything works fine locally, but running tests with KRE 50/50

Again, I have no issues with path to driver or permissions to execute the file, the problem could be in the KRE itself

Hi,

Which ChromeDriver version have you been using?

I used chromedriver version 121.0.6167.184
Also I changed my solution to another one that works fine for me, so I think this topic is not relevant anymore.
Thanks!
