kindly explain your issue

simon_y_si · June 25, 2025, 7:15am

Before 10.2.1, screen record video using Browser-based Recorder works well. But updated Katalon Studio 10.2.1 or 10.2.2, we found the screen recording video not generated when we run test suite and some cases failed. And, the console logs showed the related error about CDTVideoRecorder

dineshh · June 26, 2025, 6:21am

error seems to be related to directory

simon_y_si · June 26, 2025, 7:52am

The directory should created by CDTVideoRecoder, could you do regression testing for Katalon Studio record video during execution with Browser-based Record

seetal.goudar · July 4, 2025, 11:22am

I am also facing the same issue, Can anyone help here

dineshh · July 5, 2025, 6:44am

can you try with latest version and confirm if issue persists

simon_y_si · July 7, 2025, 2:46am

@dineshh This issue still persists on 10.2.3

jonathan.argue · July 8, 2025, 2:49am

Confirmed for me too - the issue still exists.

dineshh · July 14, 2025, 5:07am

@Elly_Tran can we get on this issue

subhanisaheb.shaik · July 14, 2025, 6:44am

Hi Dinesh, I am also facing recording issue with 10.0.1, as per the company limitation i cant upgrade higher version too. can you please advise any temporary solution for this?

Elly_Tran · July 14, 2025, 10:26am

Hi all,

Sorry for my late response. We have been acknowledged this issue and plan to fix it soon. In the meanwhile, can you guys please try this workaround and let know if it works/ not. Thank you

Move WebUI.openBrowser(GlobalVariable.G_SiteURL) out of the Test Case script

simon_y_si · July 15, 2025, 2:35am

Tried to open browser (WebUI.openBrowser) in @BeforeTestCase or @BeforeTestSuite, this issue still exists. And met this exception when open browser in @BeforeTestCase or @BeforeTestSuite
