I have noticed that whenever I tried running my test case, it takes around a minute before it will run and Katalon Studio says its not responding.Maybe because I have too many test cases/object repositories or Internet issue?
@sarah2 what version of chrome are you using cos if it is V76, i am having the same problem and i plan to get chrome v74 which i believe works. did i mention that my KS was 6.2.2 and updated to 6.3.2 but still having the same issue?
@benjamin.emina I am now using the latest version of KS and my chrome is up to date which is v76, so far I was able to run test scripts around 2 to 3 sec which I think is okay unlike before that it takes a minute to run. I’ll just observed if same thing will happen in the future and update this thread as soon as necessary.
Katalon Studio v6.3.2 looks hang-up (not responding to any event) for around 70 seconds when I clicked the green button to execute a very simple test case before the test case actually started.
I tried Firefox, Chrome, IE. — for all of them, KS v6.3.2 hanged-up, though the time-periods of no-responding varies (20 - 70 secs)
Katalon Studio v6.3.1 looks OK. The test case starts in just a few seconds.
I checked the version of chromedriver.exe bundled in the v6.3.1 and v6.3.2. The same version of chromedriver.exe is bundled in the 2 KS versions. Therefore I suppose that the version of bundled binary of webdriver is not the cause of the problem.
At first everything went well, I was able to run around 2 to 5 sec this morning, but as I used KS eventually same problem occurred, it hanged up and takes a minute to run as what @kazurayam has observed.
Windows 10, KS6.3.2, with Proxy in between my PC and the Internet --> Not responding
Mac Book, KS6.3.2, without Proxy --> Responding quickly as usual
In both cases, I selected the option “automatically update Web Driver” is enabled.
With Proxy or Without Proxy — this seems to be a factor.
With automatically update Web Driver option On or OFF — this seems be another factor.
The combination of these 2 factors (behind Proxy, the Option of KS6.3.2 is set ON) makes KS hang up.
It is easy to guess what’s going on. Katalon Studio tries to connect to the download site of WebDriver binaries, but it fails to connect and wait for timeout because KS6.3.2 does not respect the given Proxy config.
In the upcoming releases we already have on our plan to modify this functionality so that users can have more powers in updating Web Driver, there will be progress bar which prevents Katalon Studio from being blocked and other types of measurements.
