Hey, manpreet, the issue with the memory consume was solved.
But, the IDE still freezing after i try to do anything.
example: when i change something in a test case, and save it, the ide freeze, starts to not responding and after something like 15 seconds it come back to normal.
when i add a new variable in the “Variables” scope, the same thing occurs.
i really dont know what to do, and honestly thinking about migrate to pure selenium
@Mateus_Gomes_Binatti I don’t think the number of Variables or Lines of code are culprit here. Lets wait and see what Katalon team has a solution for this ?
A very weird question ? Did you tried to reboot your computer and whats the configuration it has ?
That’s so important I’ll say it again - Backup your files!!!
Determine if it is Computer/OS related:
Copy the whole project to another computer. Does the project behave okay there? If not, then the problem is likely inside your project or Katalon itself.
Determine if it is the project:
Start a new project. Does Katalon behave okay now? If so, it’s your project. If not it’s Katalon. (You could backup your projects and re-download Katalon and install again)
If it is the Project…
Start deleting profiles. Check Katalon after each deletion.
Let us know WHICH profile when it was deleted allowed Katalon to work correctly. @devalex88 will want to see it (and you still have a copy because you made backups, right? )
@Russ_Thomas
hello, russ!
sure, i will do this right now!
dont worry, i have all on a git repository! haha. thanks for the advice!!
Determine if it is Computer/OS related:
i have the same issue in the computer that i used to work with, and my teammates give me another, but the problem persists!
Determine if it is the project:
ive created a new project and the problem persists!
ive already re-downloaded katalon, and tried older versions to see if the problem was the currently, but not.
In practical terms, 8GB of RAM is a little on the low-side for Win10 w/ Katalon. However, I do run my suites on the exact same setup without issue.
Just for reference, I use Win7 with 16GB RAM for Test Case development.
Did you try creating a new project on both computers? Did they both have the same issue?
One other question: On what version of Katalon did this problem first appear? I am wondering if it is worth trying an older version to see if the issue suddenly disappears (but not yet, let’s allow @devalex88 take a look at the rest of this thread first).
Empty it out. Write a simple test. What happens now?
By “empty it out” I meant delete all the variables (not delete the file itself).
Yet another “one more thing”…
When you download another version, are you copying it OVER the broken install? Katalon is a self-contained, standalone system - meaning, you can install many copies at the same time.
If you did copy over the old system(s) then please try again but this time, install it separately and run it from the new install folder. Understood?
A while ago (back when Win10 was new), I moved a development system (node.js and NW.js) to a shiny new Win10 system. The whole thing behaved exactly as you described. On Win7 it worked perfectly. When I blocked WinDefender from accessing everything in the dev environment (including Visual Studio and the publish folders) suddenly it started working correctly.
How are the permissions set on your project folder?
Is your user account local? Or does it come from a domain controller?
Are you opening Katalon with the same user account?
