class “module-info” signer mismatch typically occurs due to conflicting JAR files in project’s classpath

1. Remove Conflicting Dependencies

• Cause: Mismatched signed JARs (e.g., multiple versions of Cucumber or Selenium libraries).
• Solution:
  1. Navigate to your Katalon project’s Drivers or Plugins folder and delete duplicate JARs (e.g., cucumber-*.jar, selenium-*.jar).
  2. Use only the libraries bundled with Katalon Studio (avoid manually adding external JARs unless necessary).

2. Fix Cucumber Compatibility

• Cause: Katalon’s Cucumber integration conflicts with newer libraries.
• Solution:
  1. Open [Katalon_Installation]/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy**.libs/**.
  2. Check for multiple cucumber-core or cucumber-java JARs and retain only the version shipped with Katalon.
  3. Restart Katalon Studio.

3. Clean Katalon’s Cache

# Windows
cd %APPDATA%\KatalonStudio
rmdir /s /q Engine

# macOS/Linux
cd ~/.katalon
rm -rf Engine

4. Update Katalon Studio

• Ensure you’re using the latest version of Katalon Studio (check via Help > Check for Updates).

5. Security Manager Workaround (Temporary)

Add -Djava.security.manager=allow to your Katalon Studio’s JVM arguments:

• Edit katalon.vmoptions (located in the Katalon installation directory):

-Djava.security.manager=allow

• Restart Katalon Studio.

6. Verify Project Settings

• Ensure your Java version matches Katalon’s requirements (Java 8 or 11).
• Disable browser extensions if you’re executing tests against Chrome/Firefox.

Example Fix Workflow

1. Delete duplicate JARs from the project’s Drivers folder.
2. Clear Katalon’s cache.
3. Restart Katalon and run the test again

I got this `bytebuddy` error when executing BDD test

hey everyone @kazurayam @gregorio.catalan @ffrik @dineshh @adadiagne08 @claytonmildy I found the solution for this issue. if you are using Katalon Studio v9, you need to use Java/JDK/JRE 21. you can change the configuration under Settings --> Java --> Installed JRE you should change your package from (default package) to your own, for example YourPackageName you should add the Test Listener on the project, here’s the example: // README: the Test Listener filename should be `Listener…
