Whenever you encounter a bug in the specified period, simply:

  1. Create a topic in Bugs Report → make sure to follow the pre-defined template as closely as you can.
  2. Include [KS 9.0.0] in your topic’s title
  3. Tag @albert.vu or @Elly_Tran into your topic.
  4. We will proceed to send in your topic to our Product team for review
  5. We will get back to you to see if your reported bug is valid or not after 3-4 days.

Hi @ashraf.madina, @atul.rai,

Since 9.0.0 has some major changes regarding Java and framework upgrades, we’re not allowing in-app upgrade and recommend downloading 9.0.0 from the website.

Besides, when upgrading from 8.x to 9.0.0, you might need to perform some additional steps for a smooth transition. For more details, see Migrate Katalon Studio from 8.x to 9.0.0.

I hope this info will be helpful, and if you have any feedback using Studio 9.0.0, don’t hesitate to leave a comment and let us know.
Happy testing,
Xuan Tran

Please do not force us to open the Studio Assist web link when closing the popup. The popup is bad enough, but opening a web page when I click the X is beyond the pale.

I see this popup everytime I stop and restart the Katalon Studio v9.0.0.

Please do not ask me to “learn more here” repeatedly.

@xuan.tran

I added it here , however the CucumberGlueGenerator.addDefaultPackages(); is UNDERLINED. does that mean there is an issue?

  • Is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to add @BeforeTestCase anywhere else?

  • This is the ERROR I see now and I do not understand it… It was passing before this.

I have this exact same issue. Very strange that what we are required to add does not work.

17

Resolved it myself, I had to add
import com.kms.katalon.core.cucumber.keyword.internal.CucumberGlueGenerator

Nothing was documented for this requirement.
