Open browser only in IE irrespective of the browser execution selected, based on the URL string

a. Web application “http://ABC/Login” works only in Chrome browser
b. Web application “http://XYZ/Login” works only in IE browser.
These two web application are entirely different but they have minimal integration.

Scenario to Test:

  1. Open “ABC” application in chrome browser and create a request “qwerty” and submit it.
  2. Open “XYZ” application in IE browser and process the request “qwerty” and submit it.
  3. Open “ABC” application in chrome browser and close the “qwerty” request .

My Question is : Is there a way to open XYZ application only in IE ; irrespective of the browser being selected for execution in Katalon.

Great question.

I’m certain you can use selenium code to accomplish this - though I don’t know the APIs you need right out of my head.

If you imagine doing this a lot, I’d advise you wrap the functionality in a class and create a few custom keywords (methods) to provide a reusable set of features.

Perhaps if @Brandon_Hein is listening he can share a few pointers?

Yes, you can do this with selenium:

File file = new File("{katalon_studio_install}/configuration/resources/drivers/iedriver_win64/IEDriverServer.exe");
System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver", file.getAbsolutePath());
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();

Keep in mind that you’ll have to use pure selenium for the IE browser instance. WebUI calls will not work.
