Katalon crashing post updating to Macos 13.0 Ventura

[huyen.nguyen2]

Hi @harshtyagi6475
You can try here as a workaround:

1. Copy the attached file KatalonStudio.sh to the Package Contents of the KS application (whatever version you want except 8.5.3.alpha)
2. Run KatalonStudio.sh file to launch Katalon Studio application
   KatalonStudio.sh (607 Bytes)

Hi @huyen.nguyen2, @duyluong, I’m using the Katalon studio 8.5.5 version but still, but I’m facing a crash issue on my Mac, when can we expect the fix for this issue?

[loc.nguyen]

The main purpose of the file is start application directly via KRE, here is the command to run

“/Applications/KatalonStudio.app/Contents/Eclipse/jre/Contents/Home/bin/java” -XstartOnFirstThread -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -Xms256m -Xmx2048m -Dfile.encoding=utf-8 -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts -classpath “/Applications/KatalonStudio.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.700.v20200207-2156.jar” org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main -launcher “/Applications/KatalonStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/katalon” -name Katalon -showsplash 600 -product com.kms.katalon.product -configuration “file:/Applications/KatalonStudio.app/Contents/Eclipse/configuration”

Note: /Applications/KatalonStudio.app is the path you store and naming KS

I am facing the same issue after updating MacOS.

[jacob.hay]

I just installed KatalonStuido version 8.5.5 and I am facing this same issue.

I was able to get it to open by using the sh script. But seems like a funny workaround for an issue that has been going on since Oct??

Hi @niftiitimp and @jacob.hay, at the moment we are still waiting for an official fix from Apple regarding this issue so in the meantime, you can download KS build 8.5.3 alpha or follow a workaround by @huyen.nguyen2 as below:

1. Downloading KS version 8.5.3 alpha

@duyluong

Hi there,

For those who encounter this issue on Intel-based macOS Ventura, please download the build via this link: Release v8.5.3.alpha · katalon-studio/katalon-studio (github.com) . Below is the list of known issues in 8.5.3.alpha.

• Katalon Studio Quick Start Page is not loading.
• Sending SOAP requests from SoapUI after importing is unstable.
• “Uncaught ReferenceError: editor is not defined” message displayed after sending SOAP requests, and saving request header.
• Minor UI issue while adding global variables to Execution Profile.

Please note that 8.5.3.alpha is a temporary solution. Earlier, we planned to merge it to 8.5.5 and now, we decided not to do that because the fix has significant side effects on the Katalon Studio application. Importantly, our developers found out Katalon Studio’s crashing on macOS Ventura (13.0) is due to an issue with WebKit (Refer to Crash with org.eclipse.swt.browser using Safari on macOS Ventura · Issue #452 ).

Both we and Eclipse team are still waiting for the response from Apple to make the final decision for the official solution.

Thanks

2. Huyen’s workaround

@huyen.nguyen2

You can try here as a workaround:

1. Copy the attached file KatalonStudio.sh to the Package Contents of the KS application (whatever version you want except 8.5.3.alpha)
2. Run KatalonStudio.sh file to launch Katalon Studio application
   KatalonStudio.sh (607 Bytes)

Please let us know if you still have any issue when attempting these two temporary solutions. Thanks!

Katalon studio keeps crashing for me as soon as its activated and opened.

I tried different versions : 8.5.5, 8.4.2, 8.9.0

System Configuration :
32 GB MacBook Pro
Mac OS Ventura 13.1

Hi @swkumari, I’m assuming that your Macbook is using an Intel chip, if that’s the case then please see my reply above for a temporary workaround. Thanks!

[rdighe]

I am facing the same issue. KS does not launch even after downloading Katalon_Studio_Engine_MacOS-8.5.3.tar.gz

Please let us know what needs to be done here
