Recently, we’ve been seeing another “feature” of KSE. It’s changing scripts by itself at the arbitrary time just because it “thinks” that // should not be in the beginning of lines but it should be indented. As a result, we are having the following problems: Push the file with // in the beginnin…

@gdearest07 Do you ever switch to Manual view then back to Script view? When Katalon chooses to reformat a script, it’s usually due to that – a well documented bug. Please update your post with Katalon version, OS, etc. @duyluong I thought you guys had promised a fix for this annoyance. Has it bee…

Thanks, @Russ_Thomas , yes, I did. To be precise, sometimes I click on Manual view by mistake (I don’t use it) and then switch back to Script view. Subjectively, it looks like it can happen to any file opened in KSE regardless of switching. I’m going to pay more attention to switching. Actually, I’v…

@Russ_Thomas , @duyluong Actually, I’ve just noticed that any test gets openned in Manual view after clicking on it.

@gdearest07 Have you upgraded Katalon Studio recently? As @Russ_Thomas pointed out, there is a configuration option Preferences > Katalon > Test Case >> Default Open View : Manual View or Script View. When you upgrade Katalon Studio to a new version, this option will be initialised to “Manual Vie…

Hi @gdearest07 , Thanks for your information, We’re working on the issue of reformatting the code. However, it’d be much better if you helps us to seek the trigger of the issue so we could investigate it further. [image] gdearest07: I’ve seen the same “results” in Keywords , which have no “Ma…

@Brandon_Hein’s take:

ScriptView > ManualView > ScriptView Bug Report

Yeah, this is a pretty serious bug, and I think there have been other reports of it floating around, where people mysteriously lose data without any apparent cause. It’s good you were able to find a reproduceable scenario for it. I’ve always suspected that Katalon generates scripts using reflection, and that’s why, for each script you write, Katalon generates a “.tc” file as well as a “Script0123456789.groovy” file. Not sure if that’s actually what’s happening behind the scenes, just a guess, b…

How to disable editor script to auto formatting Feature Request

Hii there, Mostly i do scripting in Katalon, and I feel auto formatting source code in script mode is not convenient, sometimes it automatically add new line at keyword call, the println “something” became println(“something”), i prefer less parentheses (groovy goodness), and sometimes i got my method parameters argument is empty, this unexpected behavior makes my script very fragile Is there any way in Katalon preference to disable auto formatting in script like this? I’m hardy find the set…

How to disable editor script to auto formatting Feature Request

Annoyances are one thing, but this now regularly breaking my code and I’ve already set the script window as the default. I’m doing soap web service test cases and traversing the xml using find with closures, similar to: String code = parsed.depthFirst().find{it.@name == 'UNIQUE_NAME'}.text() Pretty straight forward. I don’t ever use the manual window with these. But I do routinely add web service objects via the Plus Icon and “Add to existing test case”. Then, when its added and I’m transfe…

Part of the Code script is deleted every time I save on the Manual Bug Report

Part of the Code script is deleted every time I save on the Manual. The starting code is deleted every time i save on the manual because the starting code is not added on the manual. Basically, what I did is writing an interface and implemented the interface into a class. Then I am using the class’s methods. Every time I save on the manual, the Interface and the class at the starting of the code are deleted. 111.png 222.png

Is it possible to stop editor from inserting blank lines between statements in script mode Web Testing

When I go from script mode to manual mode and back, the editor and blank lines in between every statement. This makes the code hard to read. There are some lines of code that I want grouped together with no blank lines in between. I have not found a setting that stops the tool from doing this. The code runs without the blank lines so why are they inserted. I also found that it decides to randomly delete commented out code and delete classes that I created to perform functions like lazy loading…
