Katalon studio problems with iFrame and drivers

Hello,
after getting 7.3.1 KS version with license, test cases with iframes and with adding an extension to test it with test case started to get (Timed out receiving message from renderer: 0.100 ) test stops working and just shows this “times out message”.
This situation continues until I do:

  1. tools->web->terminate running Web
  2. CTRL+F5
    few times, tried a few solutions like:
    update driver to 81
    return to 80, 79
    getting latest extension version,
    in settings → Terminate drivers after each test case

NOTHING helps to normally run Test Cases and it’s impossible to runTest Suites, so I’m asking for help.

This is an issue of chromedriver v80 and v81, Chrome dev will fix in chromedriver v82.

Work-around solution:

  • Downgrade Chrome to v79 or v80
  • Downgrade chromedriver to v79 (as the Katalon built-in chromedriver)

doesn’t change anything for me…
few times, tried a few solutions like:
update driver to 81
return to 80, 79, 78

So I wrote already that tried this solution and it doesn’t help

If you have access to a second computer that has never had Katalon Studio installed…

  1. Download KS
  2. Copy your Katalon project across.
  3. Install/update/downgrade Chrome as you see fit.
  4. Try your tests.

If that works…

  1. Remove Chrome from your first computer.
  2. Use something like CCleaner to ensure it completely removed.
  3. Make sure Katalon is closed then clean your Katalon project (see below).
  4. Reinstall Chrome.

To clean your Katalon project, delete these highlighted folders/files from your project folder:

Thank you for answer, but on other PC this problem stays the same. Anyway I will try to delete and install like you suggested .

Then I would defer to the advice given you by @duyluong.
