No window menu under Tools for setup WinAppDriver

Desktop Testing
1

Hi there,

I installed Katalon for desktop automation testing, Is there a Windows menu under Tools for setup WinAppDriver environment? Why can not I see it?

If no windows menu, how do I setup WinAppDriver and integrate it with Katalon by myself?

Thank you in advanced.

“Tools > Windows” menu in Katalon Studio 11.x: Menu deprecated; manual WinAppDriver setup required (still supported alongside new FlaUI driver).

Manual Setup

  1. Download WinAppDriver 1.2+ from GitHub; install MSI.
  2. Enable Developer Mode: Settings > Update & Security > For developers > Developer Mode.
  3. Run WinAppDriver: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Application Driver\WinAppDriver.exe (port 4723).
  4. Project Settings > Desired Capabilities > Windows:
{
  "platformName": "Windows",
  "deviceName": "WindowsPC",
  "app": "C:\\Path\\To\\YourApp.exe"
}

Default URL: http://127.0.0.1:4723.

Alternative: Use FlaUI driver (Studio 10.4+ native): Record Desktop > select app; no WinAppDriver needed
