The problem i mostly had, was that the Error Log pointed me in the wrong direction. I tried to troubleshoot the project and the folder / path it was in. However the problem was in the path the Studio was in, since that had a “ü” in it, which made the error appear. It also generated the globalVariable file, even though the Error said it couldn’t. Quick Fix would probaply be to adjust the error message, though i think it would be benefical to have Katalon Studio beeing able to run from any OS supported path. #### Please let us know what you are using Katalon Studio for? 1. I have currently applied Katalon Studio in my project #### How would your work be affected if this issue has not been resolved? 1. It doesn’t affect much, but I believe Katalon team should have this ticket resolved (though keep in mind it took me a few hours to troubleshoot this, which made me completly unable to work in the meantime) #### Operating System Windows 10 #### Katalon Studio Version 7.8.1 #### Katalon Studio logs !ENTRY org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench 4 0 2020-12-14 12:33:24.826 !MESSAGE !STACK 0 java.lang.InterruptedException: System could not generate internal.GlobalVariable file normally.
