Hi @Jeff_Sharp I am not understanding your question yet. You can export Katalon Recorder’s test cases as Katalon Studio’s script. ![Untitled](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/4/4f76a5d868e718575deb4bef10e8d7a5aa348737.png) Please provide us with more information. ---

Once we have exported from Katalon Recorder in Katalon Studio format, how do we then import the file into Katalon Studio? Never mind, I’ve just found this post > [@How to import Selenium IDE test cases into Katalon Studio](http://forum.katalon.com/t/how-to-import-selenium-ide-test-cases-into-katalon-studio/8408): > > Katalon Automation Recorder is designed to support users of the obsolete Selenium IDE to record and playback automation tests. It also allows users to export recorded automation test case to multiple scripting languages and frameworks.

After “importing” (actually copy-pasting) the script from recorder to Katalon Studio, there is error when the script has loadVars. It seems Katalon Studion doesnt accept loadVars commands. Getting this error in console : "No signature of method: com.thoughtworks.selenium.webdriven.WebDriverBackedSelenium.loadVars() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) " How do we get around this issue? ---
