Not able to navigate to page that prompts for authentication

Hello,
Since updating to version 7.0 of Katalon, I’m no longer able to navigate to a page that prompts for a username/password. Even using the very basic script:
WebUI.openBrowser(‘’)

autoit_prj = ‘C:\Apps\Git\authenticate.exe’
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(autoit_prj)
Thread.sleep(1000)

WebUI.navigateToUrl(GlobalVariable.ALURL)

The logViewer reports that it navigated successfully however the browser flickers for a few seconds and looks like it tried to go to the link and you can even the “Sign in” box pop up for a second but than it just goes back to the blank page.

I’ve updated my ChromeDriver successfully but no change in behavior. There are no errors in the log or in the console. I can navigate to pages that don’t prompt for a login without issues.

Katalon version 7.0.10

Hi, my script looks very similar:

WebUI.openBrowser(’’)
String autoit_prj = ‘C:\(…).exe’
WebUI.navigateToUrl(GlobalVariable.url)
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(autoit_prj)
WebUI.maximizeWindow()
WebUI.waitForPageLoad(30)

I don’t face any issues with it on Katalon 7.0.10.
I’m also using Chrome and navigating to a page with authentication.

Is your global variable working? Maybe just try without it?

Tried without the global variable, but still the same result. I’ve also tried using .authenitcate() and navigateToURL with the username and password provided in the URL but it’s always the same result.
And of course, it all used to work fine.
What’s your Chrome version? Maybe there is something there.

Not sure if this will help but checking the network traffic, the request shows status “cancelled”
