Katalon won’t start running using the current browser session opened by Katalon

Web Testing
21

This is my first attempt to invoke a test case while choosing the already-opened browser and to reuse the running session between a browser and a webdriver instance.

I don’t know the name of this feature. Does anyone know if it is ever named? I don’t know if this is explained anywhere in the katalon’s official document. I wonder how @alyaraihanah found this.

I guess, even Katalon developers who developed v11.0.0 possibly weren’t aware of the feature, so they didn’t test it.

I don’t understand for what purpose this feature is useful. Personally I don’t need it.

This feature is very helpful if you want to continue your test without starting from the beginning, since “Run from Here” is only available on the paid plan.

Just done install katalon version 10, and the problem is solved. thankyou guys

so basically @alyaraihanah found a loophole/workaround in the free version to get behavior similar to the paid “Run from Here” feature? :exploding_head:

Now they realized a loophole. I suppose that they might change this nameless feature to be an Enterprise one in future.

I wouldn’t mind 'cause I don’t need it.

yeah, that’s likely :sweat_smile:
once a workaround gets popular, it usually gets gated or reworked
