My test case script creates a folder <projectDir>/store.

Before executing the script, the Test Explorer of Katalon Studio did not show the store folder (obviously because it is not yet there).

I ran the test case. I confirmed that the store folder has been created by ls -la command in Terminal.

I did “Reflesh” operation on the Tests Explorer.

Then, the store folder DID NOT come up in the Tests Explorer tree view.

Even more. I stoped the project, reopened the project. Then the store folder is displayed.

Previously I raised a similar issue as this:

where I reported that “a file” is not shown. This issue has been fixed a t v8.3.0. I have confirmed that a “file” is displayed by “Reflesh”.

This time, I am saying a “folder” is not shown.

I re-tried this, and found, in v8.3.0, a folder <projectDir>/store created by a Test case was displayed in Tests Explorer by Reflesh operation.

It seems that the “Reflesh” sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. I do not know precisely when.

Hi @kazurayam,

There are 2 cases for “Refresh” in Test Explorer:

  • If right-clicking on a particular folder, KS only do the operation insider that folder.

  • If right-clicking on the below blank, KS do the operation on all the folders.

Please try the second one and let me know if it works.

Nam Nguyen.

This strictness just confuses me.

As I wrote in the the following post, I would rather KS to auto-save everything and auto-refresh everything all the time, as most IDE’s does (VSCode, IDEA, …)
