Hi,
I got the same issue for Katalon Studio version: 5.2.0 and Chrome Browser (Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit))

Is there any fix on this yet?

Looks like Chrome can’t be started. You can try below workaround solution:
- Open Project → Settings → Execution → Chrome
- Add “–no-sandbox” key to it like the attached picture.
- And then execute your test cases again using Chrome

Hello…

 My coworker and I encounter the same problem. Any update for this issue? Thanks a lot.

I have the same problem with “navigate to URL” , I use Katalon version 5.3.0 and Chrome 64.0.3282.186. It worked on previous Chrome version… Please help!

One more thing… Only firefox works fine, the rest of browsers are not working…

You might have incorrect proxy setting in Katalon. Try going to Window>Katalon Studio Preferences>Katalon>Proxy. The default Proxy Option is No Proxy, but if you set it to **Use system proxy configuration **that may help.

Found the answer in another thread -

From ‘Quang_Do’
I met this issue as well. However, the test case is able to run next steps after changing action “Navigate to Url” to “Open Browser”.
