Everytime i run the Mobile Recorder with my device, i keep facing this problem. As you can see in the screenshot below, when i click the Start button it’s running and the apk is opening on my device but after that the dialog error box appears.
Any solution for this? I’m new in automation testing, thank you in advance.
Posting this in case any one else comes across this issue:
For the best compatibility with Katalon Studio, you’ll need to use Appium server 1.8.1. If you installed Appium Desktop, the version numbering doesn’t line up, so you’ll need Appium Desktop 1.6.3 (which comes with the 1.8.1 server).
You can install Appium server using npm install -g appium@1.8.1 or Appium Desktop by finding an installer at:
Thank you so much @Chris_Trevarthen finally it works. But, when i try to record another application. i face another error. Pict of error message attached bellow.
It does appear that there is something wrong with the signing of the apk. I’m not sure exactly the solution, but you could try rebuilding and re-signing the apk.
Here are a couple of things that you or your developers could try:
Hi @Chris_Trevarthen,
I am trying to “record mobile” on Katalon studio but it doesn’t work.
Application is getting launched but I’m immediately seeing the below error.
Error Message:
" Unable to Capture Objects
Reason :
ExecutionException
Details >>
java.lang.NullPointerException "
I’m using katalon studio version 6.1.5 and appium 1.8.1. I’m trying to test a hybrid application. Any other reason why it’s not working? and how else to troubleshoot?
Usually I’ve seen that sort of error happen when Appium isn’t installed correctly or pointed to the correct location.
Just to make sure you have the right version of Appium, could you try running this command on your command line:
npm install -g appium@1.8.1
Could you verify what you have in your Katalon Studio->Preferences-> Katalon->Mobile->Appium Directory. Here is what mine looks like (I’m on a Mac, so your directory path might be different):
Thanks for the info about the versions of Appium and Katalon Studio. Those versions should be compatible with each other. However, if you’re using Xcode 10, you’ll need to use Appium 1.8.2-beta instead: npm install -g appium@1.8.2-beta.
If you want to upgrade your version of Katalon Studio, version 6.2.1 does support Xcode 10 with Appium 1.12.1: npm install -g appium@1.12.1.
I tried what you said, I upgraded my Katalon studio version to 6.2.1 and appium to 1.12.1 and I have the xcode version 10.2.1
The issue what I am facing is it recognizes the real iphone device as unrecognized device (attaching the screenshot ) when I was using katalon studio 5.10.1, it was at least showing my device.
