I installed a Katalon Studio trial several months ago and after installation it never worked. I recently dowloaded an updated version of the trial hoping the issues would be resolved but they are not. When ever I launch Katalon Studio, I see a message like this:
The log reads as follows, but is far longer (90K+ characters) than will fit in a post on this forum.
This application remains untestable. I don’t understand how and the installation procedure should be any harder than installing a regular Mac app.
These are the last 100 lines of the log file which presumably contain the error.
