hi,
add this
C:<KatalonProject path>\settings\internal\com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome.properties
{“CHROME_DRIVER”:{“args”:["–no-sandbox","–disable-infobars"]}}

and try

I made that change but the result is the same. Since I am using Chrome headless will the same args work if I update C:\settings\internal\com.kms.katalon.core.webui.chrome (headless).properties file?

You need to install chrome.

This gives it away: cannot find Chrome binary

If you already have chrome installed, then it can’t find it.

On linux, try whereis google-chrome. If it brings up nothing, then you need to add google-chrome to your $PATH

On windows, try copying the entire Chrome folder to the default installation directory C:\Program Files\

hi,

I am running with this string
katalonc -noSplash -runMode=console -reportFolder="%WORKSPACE%/Reports" -projectPath="%WORKSPACE%\KatalonProject.prj" -retry=0 -testSuiteCollectionPath=“Test Suites/RegressionTestSuiteCollection” -browserType=“Chrome (headless)” -apiKey=d442fd1d-ecf9-4c87-99d6-7bca550a345c
if ERRORLEVEL 1 set ERRORLEVEL=0
and no issues

your issue is related to chrome and chromedriver which are not match?

or try

WebUI.openBrowser(‘https://www.google.com’) instead of WebUI.openBrowser(’’)

Chrome was installed at the default location for Windows 10 but Jenkins could not find it. Copying the Chrome folder from default location to C:\Program Files (x86) resolved the problem.

Thank you Lewis
