The output of this line Screen=WebUI.concatenate([TDate, ‘Screen’,’.png’] as String[]) contains restricted character for filename (🙂 on Windows, so you can’t save screenshot using this kind of generated filename.

I was having the same problem. After each test execution my screenshot files were overwritten. I couldn’t find an appropriate solution in Katalon so I came up with a workaround. After each test execution I run a batchfile which replaces the name(s) with a number and date. Like so:

@echo on  
cd\  
cd users\user\mydocuments  
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set Filename=FileTitle  
set suffix=100  
for /F “delims=” %%i in (‘dir /B \*.png’) do (  
set /A suffix+=1  
ren “%%i” “%filename%-!suffix:~1! somename\_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%-%DATE:/=%.png”  
)
