@395201116,

We will check this case. Thanks for your report.

Hi @395201116,

Our QAs verified that Mobile.startExistingApplication is working normally. Please provide more information:

Thanks.

395201116 · July 2, 2019, 9:32am

I don’t know if it’s because I’m upgrading by overwriting old versions of directory files

duyluong · July 2, 2019, 9:51am

Maybe, you should copy the fresh install to another folder first.

Thanks.

395201116 · July 2, 2019, 10:03am

I tried it, and now it’s OK

Now I can confirm that the issue was caused by the coverage upgrade

thanks!

Hello,

I see couple of errors after execution on Release 6.3.0. These are just errors and not failures. All these cases are working fine on Release 6.2.0. Few logs below for reference…

Neacsu_Cornel · July 15, 2019, 9:36am

Hello,

Just noticed that the parameterization of a test object is not functional in Katalon Studio - 6.3.0.rc3-6eaf9894f.

The same code is functional in KS 6.2.0

Thank you,
Cornel

Md_Borhan_Uddin_Sark · July 16, 2019, 8:14am

Hello
After finished test suite collection run the result tab showing the result without id/suite name
Please see the screenshot below

Thank you

Noor_Yeaser_Khan · August 3, 2019, 9:41am

I’m not able to use Mobile.startExistingApplication feature of the new Katalon v.6.3.0. I’ve tried the following:

Spying on an installed application on an android device
Recording on an installed application on an android device
Running test case with Mobile.startExistingApplication(“package_name”)

And all of them ends in this step:
[35m[UiAutomator2]e[39m Server packages are not going to be (re)installed

I can neither record nor spy or run test cases. It always stuck here “Server packages are not going to be (re)installed”

Any help will be highly appreciated!

OS: Windows 10
Katalon ver: 6.3.0
node ver: 10.16.0
npm ver: 6.9.0
appium ver: 1.14.0
Device type: Physical
Device name: Huawei
Device model: nova 2i
Mobile OS: Android 8.0 Oreo

Let me know if you require any further information.
FYI I also have the Katalon v6.2.2 in the same folder. I don’t if this can be the root cause by any chance.

duyluong · August 5, 2019, 1:05pm

Hi @Noor_Yeaser_Khan,

Please show us full of the execution log.

Btw, if you upgrade appium from v1.8.1 to v1.14.0. Please follow these manual instruction:

Manually remove io.appium.uiautomator2.server.test and appium.uiautomator2.server from your devices.
Manually delete folder C://<user_folder>/.katalon/tools/android_sdk and let Katalon download again.

Thanks

Ankit_Agarwal2 · August 5, 2019, 3:42pm

Hello, I tried using Version 6.3. Everything is working fine. I really liked the dark theme and dynamic test objects feature. Just I am not able to use Plugins with this new version. I have installed and reload the plugins, still I do not see those while adding custom keywords.
@duyluong

Thanks,
Ankit

Hi @Noor_Yeaser_Khan,

You may try to add: appWaitActivity: * property in Project Settings/Desired Capabilities/Mobile/Android and try to run again.

If KS could not start the app, please show us more message. The Appium log above was not the full exception log.

Thanks

Noor_Yeaser_Khan · August 6, 2019, 2:17pm

Hi @duyluong, I highly appreciate your cooperation. As per your instruction, I’ve added appWaitActivity: * property in Project Settings/Desired Capabilities/Mobile/Android and tried to run again. Unfortunately, I didn’t had any better luck even this time. KS is not throwing any exception, it’s just stuck at:
The installation of ‘appium-uiautomator2-server-debug-androidTest.apk’ took 2.045s

Besides the above Appium log, I don’t have much in my hand as of now. If you can kindly instruct me any further on how to fetch additional logs that might help in debugging would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Noor Yeaser Khan
