Retrieve Katalon Recorder Test suite

Product Forums Katalon Recorder

Following a Google Chrome / Katalon recorder crash, I was asked to completely reinstall the Katalon recorder extension, but I had no choice.

As a result, I’ve lost all my test cases, which puts me in a real bind.

Is there any way of finding my scripts in google chrome’s local storage?

Hi @sing.sekou,

According to your issue, I would like to suggest you the following:
1. Check Local Storage:

  • Open Chrome’s developer tools (F12).
  • Go to the “Application” tab.
  • Navigate to the “Storage” section and expand “Local Storage.”
  • Search for the Katalon Recorder extension’s domain (likely something like “[invalid URL removed]”).
  • Look for keys or values that might contain script data. This can be a manual process, but it’s worth trying.

2. Backup Files:

  • Windows: Check your Documents folder for a “Katalon Studio” subfolder. There might be a “Projects” folder within it, where your test cases might have been stored.
  • macOS: Look for a “Katalon Studio” folder in your Applications directory. The “Projects” folder should be within it.
  • Linux: Search for a “Katalon Studio” folder in your home directory. The “Projects” folder is usually located there.

3. Cloud Storage:

  • If you used cloud storage (like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive) to sync your Katalon Studio projects, check those locations.

4. Version Control:

  • If you were using a version control system (like Git) to manage your test cases, you can try reverting to a previous commit to recover them.

5. Third-Party Recovery Tools:

  • While not officially recommended, there might be third-party data recovery tools that can attempt to recover deleted files from your local storage. However, use caution and be aware of potential risks associated with such tools.
