Katalon suddenly not launching Test Cases with Chrome

[mlucia_rodriguez]

I had issues on Friday with Katalon, some eclipe errors that were solved in a previous post.

Today, whenever i try launching a Test Case, even in debug mode, I get the following error. Any ideas?

Caused by: com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.BrowserNotOpenedException: Browser is not opened

That seems to be the root of it. I’ve seen more than a few complaints about Chrome of late. Have you tried updating the driver?

Try Firefox.

[mlucia_rodriguez]

I tried Firefox, and it seems to be working. It looks like it’s slower, so I’ve had to introduce longer delays. I would be happier with Chrome if possible.

I had updated Chrome to 74 today, but then I got an error message saying the Chrome version needed to be between 70 and 73.

How do I update the Chrome driver?

How to download & install previous versions of Chromedriver.exe

For those times when you see a message similar to the following: “Chrome version must be between …” If Chrome has updated to a Chromedriver.exe version that is not compatible with ‘Katalon Studio’ you may be able to recover by installing the latest Chromedriver.exe. Steps: Shutdown ‘Katalon Studio’ Using any browser navigate to: https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html Wait for the page to load Click the “Name” tab to sort Chromedriver releases Download the latest version for y…

Tried that out but I’m still seeing the error. When the test cases launches, Chrome briefly opens but it’s immediately closed. The error still remains:

I just tried Chrome myself (I normally use Firefox). My Chrome launched by Katalon was 73.n.n.n. There didn’t seem to be anything I could do to force it to update. So I opened Chrome myself, it told me it wanted to update, so I let it update. Then I ran my test again and confirmed it was using 74.

So, try opening Chrome yourself… maybe it will help to pull in the correct driver? (I really am just guessing here).

hi @mlucia_rodriguez,

Please check that you already have WebUI.openBrowser('url') keyword before doing anything else.

Thanks.

[libra.soumya17]

This is happening with my tests also.

[libra.soumya17]

@mlucia_rodriguez This looks like an issue of Katalon with chrome version 74.
I followed this: Problem with Google chrome 74 and it worked .

[mlucia_rodriguez]

Ok, so I reinstalled Chrome again, downloaded 74 instead of 73, and I re-pasted the driver in the folder. That worked now, thank you!

Hopefully, no more issues
