[Katalon-Mobile Testing] Error: Invalid JSON syntax. Root cause: java.lang.IllegalStateException

aditmail321 · March 17, 2021, 7:59am

Hi All, Good Afternoon from Indonesia

I’m Aditya came here for your help because I’m having trouble while trying to record and run Automation Mobile from Katalon.

Currently I’m new for this Katalon, and I would like to exploring more here and previous I’m using Silk Test. Does anyone know what’s is the main problem for my case?

I’m trying to explore about Katalon, in the beginning it was nice…

then after some fews playback I’m getting error message when doing some playback… in short solution I’m re-creating new project with existing data… but after a few playback, the same error is returning.

Thank you for your help

Below is the example of the error

Reason:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepErrorException: Error: Invalid JSON syntax. Root cause: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 column 1 path $

And here below is the very simple of the Script for the testing…

Really appreciated if any clue for this problem

Hi @aditmail321,

Please share your Appium version, some screenshots of Project Settings/Desired Capabilities/Mobile/Android and Preferences/Katalon/Proxy/System

aditmail321 · March 17, 2021, 9:07am

Hi @duyluong

Thank you for the response,
Below is the data that are shown in my computer setting

Appium Version

Desired Capabilities

*Notes: I’ve tried to deleted the desired capabilities and set-up the capabilities in runtime (com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration) and also not using any of it… but kinda seems not working either

Proxy Setting

I’m currently not using any proxy for this project…

Hope it would help to troubleshot the error.
Thank you

duyluong · March 17, 2021, 9:20am

Hi @aditmail321
The settings are normal. I think you should terminate all running Appium processes and reinstall Appium then run again.

Command to terminate running Appium processes:

taskkill /f /im node.exe

aditmail321 · March 17, 2021, 10:13am

Hi @duyluong

I’ve tried to terminate all running Appium and Uninstall - Re-Install the Appium then run again…
But seems the problem still occurs

I’ve tried to deleted the Temp file for Katalon Folder, Terminate the node.js and terminate the appium processes and closed and re-open the Katalon…

In times it could run the test cases… but somehow after 2-3 playbacks the error is reappearing again with the same error…

Is there any concern about the using of custom keyword or test listener? I’ve using test listener only to print the Test Cases name and the custom keyword to create dynamic folder/path for the places to stored the screenshot image name and path

Thank you

aditmail321 · March 17, 2021, 10:29am

And if I’m creating new project with exact test case script, it could run the test…
Kinda weird isn’t it?
