Hi Team,

I am using Katalon Tool for past 1 month and was running the code in Chrome driver even on 2 days ago. Today when i ran the code, it says unable to open the URL. Same code is running in Firefox I am sure this is the issue with Driver but dont know how to fix this. Need help.

Here is the Console log :

Hi @Srividhya1

Please update your Chrome Driver, as the log says there’s incompatibility between your Chrome browser and Chrome Driver. As an alternative, please go to Preferences > Katalon > Web UI and enable Automatically update Web driver. Try and see if these solutions work.

Cheers !

in the log it says : “This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 74
(Driver info: chromedriver=74.0.3729.6 (255758eccf3d244491b8a1317aa76e1ce10d57e9-refs/branch-heads/3729@{#29}),platform=Windows NT 10.0.17134 x86_64) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)”

Katalon chromedriver is 74 …maybe you have to check your chrome version (maybe is 76) so you need new chromedriver version or as it is said above…check enable automatically update web driver on katalon preferences

Thanks a lot!

Another way is to replace manually the chromedriver.exe file within katalon and get the one related to your chrome version . So then you can replace the katalon chromedriver.exe file with the one that works with your current chrome version

Yes. You can add chrome drivers internally in your project under Include folder-create a new folder named drivers- store the desired chrome or other drivers. By this you are defining katalon to execute on this specific browser version:
Ex: include-drivers-chromedriver_linux64-chromedriver
