I had an image in mind as follows (yellow arrows).

Now I share with you a doubt about the documentation.

Has anyone from @Katalon Studio seen this?

I can only confirm your findings and I just add following from Katalon’s documentation:


which also does imply another flow on the @SetUp part (Listeners ALWAYS triggered FIRST) than what is depicted in the Test Execution lifecycle pic.

Hi all,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. After investigating thoroughly, Test Listeners does trigger first before @Setup/@Teardown method. We have updated our documentation as well.

We apology for the documentation error and for the confusion it may cause. Please feel free to report any other issues that need to be addressed. We are happy to help!

Sincerely,
Liam
