Katalon compatibility with Chrome Browser

Product Forums Katalon Studio

Hi Community,

Do we have a compatibility chart available anywhere,which says which katalon version supports which version of chrome browser/driver?

During recent katalon scripts execution,I am observing the scripts are running very fast and ignoring the wait time of the fields.
Not sure,if this is happening due to incompatibility or some other reasons.
Sometimes it clicks radio button,sometimes not.
Very strange behaviour observed during execution.

The same scripts were running fine few weeks back.

No, there isn’t.

Google Chrome browser usually autoupdate itself. Katalon Studio can not control the version of Chrome browser on your machine.

With Katalon Studio, you are supposed to use Chrome Driver of the version which is compatible with the Chrome browser on your machine.

Katalon asks you to manually update Chrome Driver using its built-in menu Tools > Update WebDriver > Chrome:

With this tool, Katalon Studio will fetch the latest version of Chrome Driver, which is most probably compatible with the Google Chrome browser on your machine which autoupdates itself. This tool uses WebDriverManager under the hood.

katalon version vs chrome browser/driver version — The relationship moves, isn’t fixed. This relationship depends on the timing when you did Tools > update WebDriver > Chome menu the last time. Therefore there coud be no “compatibility chart”.

I think you got an issue similar to the following:

Katalon delivered a countermeasure to the problem at the v10.2.2 or newer. You should upgrade your Katalon Studio.

Tried Installing the latest 10.x version of katalon studio.
Not sure why I am getting below error while trying to execute the script.
The same script runs fine in 9.x

Added the args --disable-features=DisableLoadExtensionCommandLineSwitch and it solved my issue for now in Katalon 9.x

I have never seen this class.
Is this import statement really necessary?
I guess you can safely remove the import statement.
