The same script that runs in less than a minute in Chrome or Chrome headless takes 30 seconds per New Page, writing a name in a field is done like one letter each 2 seconds, it is terrible. The same IE in the same website runs very fast no problem at all.
PATH is updated and firefox.exe and iexplore.exe in cmd line start the browser. as well as geckodriver.exe
What can the reason be?
Firefox I have not succeeded to start with Katalon, it says browser not found.
Forgot to say I am executing a Katalon Studio 5.2.0 script in Chrome (OK) but not succeeding executing it in neither IE (extremely slow) or Firefox (Katalon times out with error: âFAILED because (of) Unable to open browser with url:â.)
I have succeeded to run the Katalon Studio script in Firefox by explicitly providing the PATH C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe in the input field of the âOpen Browserâ command. BUT it takes almost 90 sec to open! When I start Firefox from the OS it opens in a split second.
A few times Katalon didnât time out when opening the browser and in those rare cases it executed very fast, almost same speed as Chrome. But the long start time is unacceptable. It is a problem I must solve.
Anyone knows how this can be fixed or what the root cause is?
Regarding IE it didnât open at all from Katalon when providing the PATH as above. When the address is not provided explicitly in Katalon I guess then it picks the IE location from the OS PATH, but on the other hand in those cases it executes painfully slow.
Please somebody help.
geckodriver is the latest version, the PATH is updated and program starts from cmd when executing geckodriver.exe in any DOS directory.
This is a strange issue. I would suggest re-installing Firefox and IE first, and then double check if there any processes running behind Firefox and IE because rarely any users report the same issue like you, so currently I have no ideals yet without investigations needed
I have resolved issues with IE v11 performance when running Test Suites in Katalon Studio by deleting orphaned âiexplore.exeâ processes in the Windows Task ManagerâŚ
My guess is the orphaned "iexplore.exe processes were caused by aborted / failed runs of Test Suites in Katalon Studio, which the Windows Operating System did not clean up for some reasonâŚ
Presumably this issue impacts Firefox browser processes as wellâŚ
Check to see if there are any orphaned âiexplore.exeâ processes in the Windows Task Manager when you are experiencing performance issuesâŚ
I have the same issue. For some reason the first run with IE11 executed very fast. All the consecutive attempts were awfully slow.
I am having this exact problem. IE was working perfectly fine until half way through yesterday and now I have to restart my computer to get IE to work once then slow down to a 1 minute delay between each step. Nothing has changed on my setup, I am on Windows 10 using the latest version of Katalon.
Even after deleting orphaned âiexplore.exeâ processes in the Windows Task Manager, slowness is there for IE. Could you please suggest any method to over this issue?
Set Text also runs super slow for me. I tried taskkill and it did not improve performance. I feel like it did not always behave this way. The scripts seemed to run fine (relatively) a few months ago.
