Hi Team,

I am getting below exception on opening report in katalon and there are null characters getting inserted in execution0.log just before html report is generated. Please let me know what is the fix for this. This report file is getting generated by Katalon Studio so this seems to be some bug.

I am also seeing this error occur with some frequency when I run the tests via Azure DevOps Pipeline - it causes the Katalon test suite execution to appear as never finished ini Katalon TestOps, and I am not able to see the results in Katalon TestOps. I have not seen this when executing tests on my local machine.

We are seeing the the same issue on 7.8.2.
We are running the pipeline using Jenkins towards Katalon Runtime Engine.

It was fine till recently we did the upgrade and since we use Junit report to upload the report to Enterprise but now we are seeing this exception on console logs and null characters in the report.

This is critical bug for us.
