Test Run initiation takes a very long time

When the Test Suite Run is initiated, it takes over 10 mins for kicking off the first test. Is there a reason for this and how could this be fixed ? This defeats the Automation purpose if it takes this long to just start the testing.

What is it? I don’t see what you mean.

Any screenshot?
Any log?
More information please.

It is based on the application and I would suspect these reasons might be red flag,

Large number of test cases, test objects, or data files being loaded for TDD test cases.

Running on low-spec machines or shared CI runners.

Antivirus or security software scanning Katalon files during execution.

How many Test Cases do you have in the project?

How many Test Objects in the Object Repository folder in the project do you have?

How many subfolders do you have in the Reports folder in the project?

If you have some hundreds, then … will take long time. You need to wait.

Please try to clean up your project.

Close Katalon Studio GUI, open Windows Explorer UI, open the folder of the Katalon project, then

  • remove the bin folder
  • remove the Libs folder
  • remove the .cache folder

then restart Katalon Studio, open the project again and try to run what you wanted to see

@sramji

Do you work on Windows? or Mac?

I ask this because I have a concern that Katalon Studio v10.3.x is unstable on Windows. See:

can you share if you had any workaround on this
