Try running Katalon in a different folder. I don’t know what permissions you have on your user folder but Katalon is clearly not happy with it. ---

Hi @carlosmst1, > C:\Users\Carlos E. Portes\OneDrive\Área de Trabalho\Katalon Studio\Teste\_Zoox\_2021. The project is under this folder that contains some non-English characters maybe Katalon Studio could not open it correctly. Please consider moving the project to another folder that contains English characters only. Thanks ---
