Which chrome version you are having on your machine? error says that it should be between 70 to 73. Kindly check chrome browser version at your end.

Hi @Sample,

If your current Chrome browser version is v74, please follow these steps:

1. Manually download chromedriver at this link https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=74.0.3729.6/.
2. Extract and replace the current chromedriver in:

• Windows 32bit: <KS_folder>/configuration/resources/drivers/chromedriver_win32
• Windows 64bit: <KS_folder>/configuration/resources/drivers/chromedriver_win64
• macOS: /Applications/Katalon Studio.app/Contents/Eclipse/configuration/resources/drivers/chromedriver_mac
• Linux: <KS_folder>/configuration/resources/drivers/chromedriver_linux64

3. For macOS and Linux machine: Set chromedriver to executable: chmod +x chromedriver and open Katalon Studio again.

Update or Replace Web Browser Drivers and Selenium

Thanks.

Is there a way for katalon to use the installed chrome driver and browser not the system one? Would solve this issue of having to manually update drivers whenever there is an update

[Kieran_Jackson]

@ealiaj
In the Application

Window Tab -> Preferences -> General -> Web Browser

That might be what you are looking for

[ealiaj]

thanks i’ll give it a try

See: How to download & install previous versions of Chromedriver.exe… Note, sometimes you have to go back a few versions, that’s what I had to do.

[kyle.a.kohler]

Why is this a manual update? Why can’t we update using npm like every other tool on the planet which doesn’t require me to manually update anything.

[manpreet.mukkar]

@kyle.a.kohler There is an automated way to update drivers in Katalon. Its under Preference > WebUI

[nuwangi]

I cannot see Katalon Studio.app when I refer from terminal. But If I navigate to Application folder I can see Kataloan Studio inside that. Kindly help me
