Not able to run the KRE 11.0.0 / 10.4.3

Unable to launch Katalon Studio; it throws the following error:

katalonc-executable-launcher-was-unable-to-locate-its-companion-shared-library

Environment:

  • macOS 15.7.4 (Intel-based)

  • Katalon Studio 11.0

  • KRE 11.0

  • java 21

All possible troubleshooting steps have been attempted, but the issue persists.

Not even able to run from MacOS => ./katalonc -version

i even tested with KSE 10.4.3 / KRE 10.4.3 - JDK 17 in another machine = No luck

How to get this fixed in MacOS?

Open the command-line interface of your OS and navigate to the folder of KRE that contains the executable (katalonc.exe for Windows or katalonc for macOS and Linux).

I guess, you started the katalonc in an inapproriated directory as current.

i’m trying on my own and received the same error
tried on both intel-based and apple silicon-based

i think we need to inform the katalon team about this

Hi,

I found one trick here, thought to share

i tried to run the script directly from Downloads rather than going to that directory to run the executable.

cd /Downloads/Katalon-11/Katalon Engine.app/Contents/MacOS
./katalonc -version (didnt work work me)

e.g., i tried , it worked almost fine
./Downloads/Katalon-11/Katalon Engine.app/Contents/MacOS/katalonc

=======================================================
Also, i noticed for Katalon/KRE 11.0 , java 21 showing not compatible why? Need assistance on this

ah great, works fine

katalon/kre v11 should be on Java 21 as you can see on the release docs: Katalon Studio Release Notes: Version 11.x | Katalon Docs

can you elaborate more @iswaria23 on this java 21 showing not compatible
so we are can easily got the context of your problem

I am seeing some warning also in my log

previously it didnt run the katalonc, i am using Java 21.0.8. but not sure about the versions for drivers/appium/node. can someone help the recommended version of these for Katalon/KRE 11.0?

i think if the KRE works as expected, you @iswaria23 can ignore it. CMIIW
