How to test in parallel using specific chrome profile in katalon?
I am not sure but the following may interest you:
Straight forward approach to parallelism in Katalon Studio is to run multiple Test Suites in a Test Suite Collection.
If you have 2 Test Suites to run parallel mode, each of them will run in separated OS processes = Java VM instances (not Threads)
My issues is that i need to run both test using differents chrome profile in parallel.
How can i do that?
A few years ago I did something like this:
Hello Kazurayam, i tried your solution, however end up with the following errors:

Can you please help?
Mind this error message.
If you have the chrome.exe somewhere else, then you need to declare it as follows

Hello @kazurayam, referring to this post, i was able to trigger the specific chrome profile named but now i want it to run in headless mode. Which parameters that i need to pass so that it can be run in headless mode?
Since i do the license for Katalon, can we have a call?
I have published the v0.3.5 of my WebDriverFactory4ks , which enables you to write a Test Case like this:
??? I do not understand your question.
My WebDriverFactory4ks works on Katalon Studio Free version. It does not require KSE, KRE license. Just download the jar from Releases · kazurayam/WebDriverFactory4ks · GitHub and put it into <projectDir>/Drivers directory.
Hello @kazurayam, i already performed what you have instructed.
However, i’m using the script below to start a chrome profile, however what is missing is that how to modify it to execute ii with headless mode? I want to modify only the script below to do that:
public class open_dedicated_chrome_profile {
/**
* Open dedicated enroll chrome profile
*/
@Keyword
def openBrowser(String identityType) {
WebDriver driver = WebDriverFactory.newWebDriver(DriverFactory.getExecutedBrowser(), identityType) // THIS IS THE MAGIC
assert driver != null
DriverFactory.changeWebDriver(driver) // Do not forget this
WebUI.comment("${DriverFactory.getExecutedBrowser()} has been opened with ${identityType}")
KeywordUtil.markPassed('Dedicated chrome opened successfully')
}
}
You do not have to modify your open_dedicated_chrome_profile.openBrowser() at all.
In Katalon Studio GUI, you want to choose Chrome (headless).
DriverFactory.getExecutedBrowser() will return a String “HEADLESS_DRIVER”. This will instruct WebDriverFactory.newWebDriver("HEADLESS_DRIVER", identityType) to start Chrome Headless using the specified user profile.
I did the test, however, when i choose Chrome, my test run successfully but not when i choose Chrome(Headless). I believed that in headless mode, test is run as if in incognito mode.
Sorry, I don’t understand what you wrote.
My test passed when i choose only Chrome from the list but not when choosing the chrome-headless.
With Chrome:
With Chrome-Headless:
It failed 
For me it works with Chrome (headless).
Any error log?
It mention that a web element was not found, but that’s not the issue.
In fact, when i run my test with Chrome, it pass because there is an existing enrollment in the profile chrome browser, but in headless mode, i believe that cookies, my enrollment does not exist. See snapshot when failed:
The above error is displayed when there is no enrollment.
I have no idea how your problem “NAV06 You must enroll your browser to authenticate” comes up.
I think i can do nothing about it.
