In this latest update to Katalon, was something changed that modified the output of the console/log messages? When I would recieve a failure previously, there was a “reason” given usually. For example:
unable to check object 'Object Repository/ProjectReportScreen/ManageTab/input_ModifySubjectLabel' at com.kms.katalon.core.keyword.internal.KeywordMain.stepFailed(KeywordMain.groovy:48)
Whereas before we’d get a “because”:
object was obscured by element html data-mask
or
object cannot be scrolled into view
The reason is no longer given. It was most helpful.
Anyone else see this?

Actually, I think you might be right. I was checking a message yesterday and thought “that looks odd” but got distracted and never got back to it.
I’ll take another look now… (okay, not now, soon as I can!)
(Meanwhile - any comment @devalex88?)

Yes i have noticed this - the error logs seem to be less detailed - i get errors such as -
Test Cases/touchpoint examples/Further information config personal - HR - 9.1 FAILED.
Reason:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to click on object 'Object Repository/Further information config/Page_CIPHR Self Service 9.1.0/li_Date'
at com.kms.katalon.core.keyword.internal.KeywordMain.stepFailed(KeywordMain.groovy:48)

@Alice @Loan_Tran Please take a look.
@Patrick_Clough and others - what are your previous versions?
6.0.4 for me - some errors seem to be fine and consistent but theres definately something that doesnt look right.
Yep, that’s pretty much what I saw. Thanks. Saved me mocking it up.

They certainly look tidier and easier to read. I guess whoever worked them over recently, dropped a line or two.
Yes i completely agree although i would rather a more complicated error with a reason for the fail than a shorter tidier error that causes me to spend hours troubleshooting because its too vague

Moved to Bug Reports and closed. The point has been made, I think.
Thanks to @Patrick_Clough for the initial report and everyone for the confirmations.
And the re-opened…
@devalex88 @YoungNgo @Loan_Tran @Alice
Can we get some kind of commitment as to the proposed fixed time for this? It’s significantly downgraded the efficacy of test development for some people (me included). If it’s not possible within a week or so, I for one will be downgrading (for me that would mean 5.4.x to avoid the dreaded GlobalVars bug).
Thanks!

Forgot to update: it has been fixed. We’ll ship a new 6.0.6 beta tomorrow (ICT). Thank you all for this report
