Unable to run Chrome Test Script in Linux (Katalon Studio 5.6.0)

Attempting to run my test script through the Ubuntu Command line using the Chrome browser resulted in the following:

I noticed the Chromedriver wasn’t the latest version (2.35 vs 2.41); I replaced the older file with the newest version, but Katalon wasn’t able to run it.

Any help?

Adding “–no-sandbox” can help you in this case (source). Please refer to this guide: https://docs.katalon.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=13700170

That did indeed fix this issue, thanks.
