hi @joao.atenor i’m curious how you concluded that the `WebUI.waitForElementClickable()` command does not wait for the specified timeout how are you certain that the issue comes from this command and not from your own script? to verify whether your assumption is correct, try using the `WebUI.verifyElementClickable()` command to check properly whether the element you’re interacting with is actually clickable or not ---

It is not returning any error, in the past works properly but now is not working. The issue is the katalon do not wait for element clickable. Something happen could be a update on browser. ---

Have you tried @depapp suggestion further up? That seems like a solid way to check the situation ---

Based on my research of the official Katalon documentation and release notes, here’s what I found: ### **Problem Analysis** You’re reporting that in **Katalon Studio 9.7.7** , the `WebUI.waitForElementClickable` command is **not respecting the timeout parameter** you set, causing tests to fail prematurely. ### **Root Cause: Status Unknown** According to the [Katalon Studio Release Notes for Version 9.7.7](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/release-notes/katalon-studio-release-notes-version-9.x), the fixes listed are: - ✅ [BDD] Tests with Custom Keywords in Cucumber step definitions failed to execute in KRE - ✅ [Execution] External library JAR files failed to load in time during test execution in KRE **There is NO mention of a `WebUI.waitForElementClickable` timeout bug in version 9.7.7.** This means the issue is either: 1. **Unconfirmed** - Not yet documented as a known bug 2. **Environment-specific** - Related to your specific setup 3. **Configuration issue** - Related to how the timeout is being set ### **Official Documentation on WebUI.waitForElementClickable** According to the [official documentation](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/keywords/keyword-description-in-katalon-studio/web-ui-keywords/webui-wait-for-element-clickable): **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `to` | TestObject | Yes | Represents a web element | | `timeout` | int | Yes | **System will wait at most timeout (seconds) to return result** | | `flowControl` | FailureHandling | Optional | Failure handling schema | **Example Usage:** ```groovy WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject('Page_CuraHomepage/btn_MakeAppointment'), 20) ``` ### **Troubleshooting Steps** 1. **Verify the timeout parameter is an integer (in seconds)** 2. **Check if the element is actually clickable** 3. **Add failure handling to diagnose the issue** 4. **Check your project’s default timeout settings** ### **Recommendation** Since this is **not documented as a known bug in 9.7.7** , I recommend: 1. **Upgrade to the latest version** (9.7.7 is recent, but check for 9.7.8 or later) 2. **Report this as a bug** if the issue persists after troubleshooting 3. **Use a workaround** in the meantime: **References:** - [WebUI.waitForElementClickable Documentation](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/keywords/keyword-description-in-katalon-studio/web-ui-keywords/webui-wait-for-element-clickable) - [Katalon Studio 9.7.7 Release Notes](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/release-notes/katalon-studio-release-notes-version-9.x) ---

The issue was solved by update the katalon to version 10 due to Chrome WebDriver v142, Google has removed support for loading unpacked extensions. Katalon studio relies on unpacked extensions to enable key recording, spying features and Smart Wait. The issue was solved only in version 10.4.2. I will close the topic as solved. Thank you for all.
