@syed.shoaib

I have initial setup done as per the articles and Katalon demo video.
And I believe, I have covered all the prerequisites for the Katalon - Perfecto setup but I still cannot connect to perfecto cloud for device simulation.
Issues:
• Unable to record objects > cannot connect to remote for perfecto cloud to capture/record objects.

• Below is a screenshot from a sample mobile project, Unable to run any sample test cases for Katalon - Perfecto cloud.

I have referred below links for the initial setup.
 Perfecto article: Katalon Studio
 Katalon article: [Mobile] Set up real Android devices in Katalon Studio | Katalon Docs

Please help me with this issue

@Elly_Tran

Hi,

Please help update your Katalon to v9.3.1 as we fixed it in this release:

@albert.vu

We have fixed an issue where many of our users were not able to update the Chrome WebDriver to versions 121 and 122.

From Katalon Studio version 9.3 onward, the login does not work. What could be the issue?

@viewxy

My problem is, from 9.3 onward, the login does not work. The browser never appears, I get an error, that there is no internet connection, which is not right. I tried through proxy, without proxy, any and every configuration. Raised tickets, but the “solution” was to open 9.0, log in, than I can use 9.3 until it automatically logs me out every 2 days…

@xuan.tran

Hi @viewxy,
Thank you for letting us know. We’re sorry for the inconvenience that you’re facing. We’re working on the improvement for the login so that it can work with special cases behind a proxy. Our team will constantly update you via your support ticket.

Will Katalon consider adding support for MacOS desktop application testing in the future?

@xuan.tran

Hi @leyssm1,
Currently, we don’t have any plans to support testing macOS desktop apps soon. If there are more requests coming up, we might consider it for future releases.

I am unable to pause my test run during execution. Is there any way we can pause the after sometimes resume the test run itself?

Answer

@xuan.tran

Hi @atul.rai,
Currently, we can only terminate the execution by clicking Stop, and then you have to rerun it again from the beginning. Is there any specific reason why you want to pause and resume it?

Is there any easy way to set up iOS devices in Katalon Studio?

@albert.vu

Hi @Mark_Peterson,

Thank you for your question. So, before @xuan.tran jumps in to help you with your question, I would like to give you a pointer to one of our KShare articles which also covered iOS Testing below

Have you ever run into troubles whilst setting up Mobile testing environments, especially with the Apple’s iOS mobile operating system, such as: Cannot load the devices successfully (real devices or simulators/emulators) We can try to unplug and plug in the real devices to make sure the devices can be recognized by the machines. We may get unexpected issues regarding dependencies. Cannot start the application successfully. We can try to run the application id com.apple.Preferenc…

We hope this will be able to help you with your iOS testing project!

Can I use Web Recorder on websites that have multi-level shadow DOM?

[AKA] Katalon Studio - Feb 26 to Mar 12, 2024 ✨ - #61 by moises.h.lopez

Answer

@philipB

Yes; with the latest Enterprise edition, if you use smart locator it’s automatic. Selection methods for Web objects | Katalon Docs

@albert.vu

Hi @moises.h.lopez,

We would like to add more to Philip’s answer.

So, starting from Katalon Studio version 8.6.0 release last year, you can do that. And, just a sneak peek, this year we also have plans to improve our recorder and extend its capabilities even further.

Besides multi-level shadow DOM, are there any complex cases that you want us to support?
