[@avsararas]

With all the features integrated in one package, Katalon is a very promising tool, I have used it partially for some automation tasks on API validation and Excel file based data driven login cases. The main weakness of the tool is its Eclipse based structure. This makes it slow to respond once loaded with many test cases. The version I used also had some bugs causing test suites not running properly and etc. I believe all could be solved by if developers switch to IntelliJ or something with better technology instead of Eclipse. On top of all, thanks for doing these great videos on Katalon, it will definitely be helpful to many testers. Again it is a significant step in automation field and would become very powerful once the weaknesses are addressed.

Hi Raghav, You said no programming language is needed for learning 'Katalon' , but I guess some knowledge should be needed to follow.

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Vijay, In Katalon Studio you can start without any exp on coding or programming, but I always say that programming knowledge will always help you and take you longer. In Katalon Studio we can do scripting using Groovy and having knowledge of this will help you. Can check the tutorials here - automationstepbystep.com/

[@mateapolic9067]

Can you explain to me for what purpose can (custom) keywords be used? Also, this is a great tutorial and very helpful, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@RaghavPal]

Custom keywords can be used in Katalon Studio for a variety of purposes, including: * Reusing common test steps. For example, you could create a custom keyword for logging in to a web application. This would allow you to reuse the login steps in multiple test cases. * Extending the testing capabilities of Katalon Studio. For example, you could create a custom keyword for testing a specific API. This would allow you to test the API using Katalon Studio, even though Katalon Studio does not have built-in support for testing APIs. * Setting up testing projects with a specific pattern. For example, you could create a custom keyword for creating a new test case using a specific template. This would allow you to set up your testing projects more quickly and consistently. * Making your test cases more readable and maintainable. By grouping common test steps into custom keywords, you can make your test cases more readable and easier to maintain. Here are some specific examples of how you could use custom keywords in Katalon Studio: * Create a custom keyword for logging in to a web application. This would allow you to reuse the login steps in multiple test cases, without having to rewrite the code for each test case. * Create a custom keyword for testing a specific API. This would allow you to test the API using Katalon Studio, even though Katalon Studio does not have built-in support for testing APIs. * Create a custom keyword for creating a new test case using a specific template. This would allow you to set up your testing projects more quickly and consistently. * Create a custom keyword for taking a screenshot of the application under test. This would allow you to take screenshots at specific points in your test cases, which can be helpful for debugging purposes. Overall, custom keywords can be a very powerful tool for making your Katalon Studio test cases more reusable, extensible, and maintainable I hope this helps

[@sid918]

Is there any scope for dependency management in Katalon similar to Maven ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Siddesh Yes, there is a scope for dependency management in Katalon similar to Maven. In fact, Katalon Studio has a Gradle plugin that can be used to manage dependencies. The plugin is available on the Katalon Studio GitHub repository: github.com/katalon-studio/gradle-plugin. To use the Gradle plugin, you first need to install Gradle on your machine. Once Gradle is installed, you can add the plugin to your Katalon Studio project by opening the project's build.gradle file and adding the following line to the dependencies section: ``` dependencies { implementation "com.katalon.studio:katalon-gradle-plugin:1.0.0" } ``` Once the plugin is added, you can use it to manage your project's dependencies by adding them to the project's build.gradle file. For example, to add the Selenium WebDriver dependency to your project, you would add the following line to the dependencies section: ``` dependencies { implementation "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-java:3.141.59" } ``` Once you have added your dependencies to the build.gradle file, you can run the `gradlew build` command to download and install the dependencies. The dependencies will be stored in the project's `build/libs` directory The Gradle plugin also provides a number of other features, such as the ability to publish your project's dependencies to a repository and the ability to define dependency versions. For more information on the Gradle plugin, you can refer to the documentation on the Katalon Studio GitHub repository

[@karthik_0205]

Hey Raghav, I have started working in testing feild. For Automation testing do we need to master any programming language? Like Java? I mean should I be able to write logics in java

[@RaghavPal]

Karthik Mastering a programming language isn't strictly necessary for basic automation testing, but it significantly expands your capabilities and career prospects. While some tools allow code-free scripting, most powerful automation frameworks rely on coding skills. Let's break down the pros and cons of each approach: Without coding: Pros: * Easier to learn for beginners, often visual interfaces. * Faster to create simple tests. Cons: * Limited flexibility and control. * Difficult to handle complex logic or integrations. * Less career opportunities compared to coders. With coding (e.g., Java): Pros: * Highly flexible and powerful, handle any test complexity. * Reusable code, efficient maintenance. * Wider range of testing tools and frameworks. Significantly higher demand and salaries for skilled testers. [Image of A software engineer coding on a computer] Java specifically: Popular language for enterprise applications and robust testing frameworks like Selenium. Large community and resources available for learning and troubleshooting. Transferable skills to other areas of software development. Should you learn Java? If you're serious about a career in automation testing, learning Java is a valuable investment. It opens doors to more challenging and rewarding projects, higher salaries, and broader career choices. However, the learning curve can be steeper than code-free tools. Remember, the decision ultimately depends on your career goals and learning style. If you're unsure, start with basic automation tools and see if you enjoy the field. Then, consider investing in coding skills like Java to take your testing career to the next level.

[@thulasii99]

Hi Raghav, Why do scripting is used when we have record and play option which is easy for the tester. Is there any special conditions, is it why scripting is used? Thanks

[@RaghavPal]

Thulasi Most of the times you will be able to create your tests using Recording mode Having a script option can be useful, when you need to create some custom scenario Here are some specific examples of when you might need to use scripting in Katalon Studio: To test complex interactions with a web page or mobile app. Recording and playing may not be able to capture all of the steps involved in a complex interaction. Scripting allows you to explicitly define the steps involved in the interaction. To use dynamic data in your tests. Recording and playing may not be able to handle dynamic data, such as data that is generated at runtime. Scripting allows you to use dynamic data in your tests. To create reusable test components. Scripting allows you to create reusable test components, such as libraries of functions or keywords. This can save you time and effort when creating and maintaining your tests. To integrate with other tools. Scripting allows you to integrate Katalon Studio with other tools, such as CI/CD servers and test management tools. This can help you to streamline your testing process.

[@MrKhankhan123]

Hello. Recently I am facing an issue is that , When I manually process it works fine, but when I process it from Katalon its take too much to process, I have only 4 Input filed , name , last name , email address and post code, all data entry is working fime , but in Katalon it is taking 3 min to enter data in one field ? what would be the reason ?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Noor There are a few reasons why Katalon might be taking too long to process data. * **Slow internet connection.** If you are using a slow internet connection, Katalon might be waiting for the data to load before it can process it. * **Large data set.** If you are processing a large data set, Katalon might be taking longer to process it. * **Slow web application.** The web application that you are testing might be slow, which could be causing Katalon to take longer to process data. * **Incorrect Katalon settings.** If your Katalon settings are incorrect, it could be causing Katalon to take longer to process data. To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following: * **Check your internet connection speed.** You can use a speed test website to check your internet connection speed. If your internet connection speed is slow, you can try using a wired connection instead of a wireless connection. * **Reduce the size of your data set.** If you are processing a large data set, you can try reducing the size of the data set. You can do this by randomly selecting a subset of the data set or by using a sampling technique. * **Test the web application in isolation.** If you think that the web application is slow, you can try testing it in isolation. To do this, you can use a tool like Fiddler or Charles to capture the HTTP traffic between your computer and the web application. Once you have captured the HTTP traffic, you can use a tool like Wireshark to analyze the HTTP traffic and see if there are any bottlenecks. * **Check your Katalon settings.** You can check your Katalon settings by going to **Preferences** > **General** > **Execution**. Make sure that the **Maximum number of threads** is set to a reasonable value. If you are still having trouble, you can contact the Katalon support team for assistance.

Hi sir getting below error when i try to open chrome browser from record or spy cannot find chrome binary where can i set this in katalon studio and even project-settings-WebUI there also browsers are not displaying. I am using Katalon 7.6.2

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Rajesh The error message "cannot find Chrome binary" means that Katalon Studio cannot find the path to the Chrome executable file. This can happen for a few reasons: * The Chrome executable file is not installed on your computer. * The Chrome executable file is not in the system path. * The Katalon Studio preferences are not set to use the correct Chrome executable file. To fix this error, you need to make sure that the Chrome executable file is installed on your computer and that it is in the system path. You can also set the Katalon Studio preferences to use the correct Chrome executable file. To set the Katalon Studio preferences to use the correct Chrome executable file, follow these steps: 1. Open Katalon Studio. 2. Click on File > Preferences. 3. Click on WebUI. 4. In the Chrome Browser section, enter the path to the Chrome executable file. 5. Click on OK. Once you have set the Katalon Studio preferences, you should be able to open Chrome from Katalon Studio without any errors. Here are the steps on how to set the Chrome binary in Katalon Studio: 1. Open Katalon Studio. 2. Click on File > Preferences. 3. Click on WebUI. 4. In the Chrome Browser section, click on the Browse button. 5. Navigate to the location of the Chrome executable file and click on Open. 6. Click on OK. The Chrome binary should now be set in Katalon Studio. You can verify this by opening the Project Settings dialog and looking at the WebUI section. The Chrome Browser path should be populated with the path to the Chrome executable file. If you are still getting the error message "cannot find Chrome binary" after setting the Chrome binary in Katalon Studio, you may need to restart Katalon Studio.

Hi @raghavPal , i am half your video(very good btw) but i closed katalon and now everytime i try to reopen it i am getting this error ' an error has occurred. See the log file.C|users\myuser\.katalon_studio_windows_64-9.0.0\Katalon_studio_windows_64-9.0.0\config\metadata\.log' and I cant not open , I already reinstalled it (it worked but i lost the data) but everytime i close it have the same issue

[@RaghavPal]

Robert I understand the frustration of encountering the "An error has occurred" message in Katalon Studio every time you try to open it. This can be a common issue with various causes, but don't worry, I can help you troubleshoot it! Here are some steps you can take: 1. Analyze the log file: The error message mentions a specific log file: C:\users\...\Katalon_studio_windows_64-9.0.0\config\metadata\.log. Open this file with a text editor and carefully analyze the entries around the time you closed Katalon Studio. The log might contain specific error messages that give you clues about the problem. 2. Clean up old Katalon data: Sometimes, leftover data from previous installations can cause conflicts. Try deleting the following folders manually: C:\users\...\Katalon_Studio_Windows_64-9.0.0 C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp\katalon-studio C:\Users\\.katalon_studio_windows_64-9.0.0 (hidden folder; you might need to enable viewing hidden files) 3. Check for Java issues: Katalon Studio relies on Java. Make sure you have the latest version of Java installed and properly configured. You can download it from the official Java website: www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp 4. Reinstall carefully: If the above steps don't work, try reinstalling Katalon Studio. However, this time, ensure you completely remove the data in the folders mentioned in step 2 before installing again. 5. Seek community support: If you're still stuck, consider seeking help from the Katalon Studio community forum: forum.katalon.com/ Many users and developers actively participate in the forum and can offer additional troubleshooting tips. Additional tips: Remember to back up your important Katalon projects before trying any drastic solutions like reinstalling.

I am struggling to find a video for PDF and Excel content verification. Have you created any video for that? I am testing a webbased application which produces PDF and Excel reports. I need to verify those PDF and Excel contents and compare with Web UI.

[@RaghavPal]

I have video on pdf to pdf comparison. In case you have option to download the web contest as pdf, can use this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaCwlpqJq794jKcsi=VqK-et8nmktvHcUK Apart from this: One approach could be to use Java to read the PDF and Excel files, and then compare the contents with the Web UI Here's an example of how you could read a PDF file using Java: import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument; import org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper; public class PdfReader { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File("path/to/pdf/file.pdf")); PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper(); String text = stripper.getText(document); System.out.println(text); } } Similarly, you could use Apache POI to read Excel files: import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFWorkbook; public class ExcelReader { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { XSSFWorkbook workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(new FileInputStream("path/to/excel/file.xlsx")); // Iterate through the sheets and cells to extract the data } } Once you have the data from the PDF and Excel files, you can compare it with the Web UI using Selenium or other automation tools -

🙏Thanks ... How to upload documents in mobile web browser automation using Katalon Studio... Please help 🤗

[@RaghavPal]

Hi, In order to upload a document in mobile web browser automation using Katalon Studio, you can follow these steps: Open the test case in Katalon Studio. Locate the element where you want to upload the document. Use the "sendKeys" method to send the path of the document to the element. Here's an example in Java: WebElement uploadElement = driver.findElement(By.id("upload-element")); uploadElement.sendKeys("/path/to/document"); Note: The path of the document should be the absolute path of the document on your local system (mobile folder) If the element you are trying to interact with is not a standard HTML file input element, you may need to use a different method or write custom code to handle the file upload in Katalon Studio. In this case, it's recommended to consult the Katalon Studio documentation or seek help from the Katalon Studio community for more information.

Hey raghaw. I am getting appium error not appium server not start in 60 sec, what should I do?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Swati, If you're getting an "Appium server not started in 60 seconds" error, it means that Appium was not able to start the server within the specified timeout period. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue: Check if Appium is installed: Make sure that Appium is installed on your machine and that the path to the Appium executable is added to your system's environment variables. Check if Appium is running: Verify that Appium is running by opening the Appium Desktop application or running the Appium server from the command line using the appium command. Check if the correct port is specified: Ensure that the port number specified in your Appium configuration file or in your code matches the port number on which the Appium server is running. Restart the Appium server: Try restarting the Appium server to see if that resolves the issue. Check for any conflicts with other services: Ensure that there are no conflicts with other services or applications that may be using the same port number as Appium. Try a different port number: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try changing the port number that Appium uses to start the server.

[@paragyawale9410]

Hi Raghav, Is it possible to change Katalon's default language to Java..?

[@RaghavPal]

Parag No, it is not possible to change Katalon Studio's default language to Java. Katalon Studio is built on top of Groovy, which is a language that is similar to Java. However, Groovy has some additional features that make it a better choice for scripting in Katalon Studio. For example, Groovy has a more concise syntax than Java. It also has a number of built-in features that make it easier to write and maintain test scripts, such as closures and dynamic typing. If you are already familiar with Java, you will be able to learn Groovy quickly. Groovy is a powerful and flexible language that is well-suited for test automation. Even though you cannot change the default language of Katalon Studio to Java, you can still write Java code in your Katalon Studio test scripts. To do this, you can use the `@groovy.lang.Script` annotation. Here is an example of a Katalon Studio test script that uses Java code: ```groovy @groovy.lang.Script class MyTestScript { void run() { // Write your Java code here } } ``` When you run this test script, Katalon Studio will compile and execute the Java code. I hope this helps

hi. anyone who have the same issue me? while i click activation on the katalon studio, it keeps showing "activating..." status for me. anyone know how to solve it?

[@RaghavPal]

Vidha There are a few things you can try if Katalon Studio is stuck in the "activating..." status: 1. **Make sure that you have a working internet connection.** Katalon Studio needs to be able to connect to the Katalon server in order to activate. 2. **Try restarting Katalon Studio.** Sometimes, a simple restart can fix minor glitches. 3. **Try clearing the Katalon Studio cache.** To do this, go to **Window** > **Preferences** > **Katalon** > **Cache** and click the **Clear Cache** button. 4. **Try restarting your computer.** Sometimes, restarting your computer can fix problems with other programs that may be interfering with Katalon Studio. 5. **Try running Katalon Studio as an administrator.** To do this, right-click on the Katalon Studio shortcut and select **Run as administrator**. 6. **Try installing Katalon Studio on a different computer.** If you have another computer available, try installing Katalon Studio on that computer and see if it activates successfully. If you are still having problems activating Katalon Studio, you can contact Katalon support for assistance. Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting Katalon Studio activation problems: * Make sure that you are using the correct email address and password to activate Katalon Studio. * Make sure that you are not behind a proxy server. If you are behind a proxy server, you will need to configure Katalon Studio to use the proxy server. * Make sure that your antivirus software is not blocking Katalon Studio from connecting to the internet. * Try activating Katalon Studio at a different time of day. Sometimes, there may be problems with the Katalon server during peak hours. If you have tried all of the above and you are still having problems activating Katalon Studio, please contact Katalon support for assistance

[@durgaraoponnuru17]

My test case is not running being recorded, its being failed and login session. Can anyone help.

[@RaghavPal]

Durgarao Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem: 1. Incorrect login credentials: Double-check the login credentials you are using in your test case. Make sure you are entering the correct username and password. 2. Invalid login page URL: Verify that the URL you are using to navigate to the login page is correct. If the URL is incorrect, the test case will not be able to find the login form and will fail. 3. Login form elements not found: Check if the login form elements (username and password fields, login button) are properly identified by Katalon Studio. If the elements are not identified correctly, the test case will not be able to interact with the login form. 4. Login session not maintained: Sometimes, login sessions may expire or be invalidated due to browser settings or application behavior. To address this, you can try the following: * Clear browser cookies and cache: Before starting the test case, clear the browser cookies and cache to ensure a fresh login session. * Handle login session cookies: If the application uses cookies to maintain the login session, you may need to manually manage these cookies in your test case to ensure a persistent session. * Check for redirects: After logging in, the application might redirect to a different page. Make sure your test case handles these redirects and continues with the intended flow. 5. Network issues: Sometimes, network connectivity issues can prevent the login request from completing successfully. Check your internet connection and ensure there are no network disruptions. 6. Application updates: Occasionally, application updates or changes in the login process can break existing test cases. If you suspect this is the case, you may need to update your test case to reflect the changes. 7. Katalon Studio version: Ensure you are using the latest version of Katalon Studio to avoid compatibility issues or known bugs. 8. Detailed error logs: Review the detailed error logs generated by Katalon Studio during the test execution. These logs may provide specific clues about the cause of the failure and help you identify the issue. 9. Community support: If the issue persists, consider seeking help from the Katalon Studio user community or forums. There are many experienced users who may be able to provide additional assistance. By carefully checking these potential causes and implementing the appropriate solutions, you should be able to resolve the login session issue and get your Katalon Studio test case running successfully.

Scroll ki functionality kis tarha work karti koi bata sakta please, Scroll up down left right

[@RaghavPal]

Amir To perform scroll actions in Katalon Studio, you can use the `WebUI` keyword and its associated methods. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to perform scroll actions: Scroll Down: ``` WebUI.scrollToElement(findTestObject('object_to_scroll_to'), 10) ``` * `findTestObject('object_to_scroll_to')` : Replace with the object you want to scroll to. This can be an element on the page, such as a button or a link * `10` : This is the timeout in seconds. You can adjust this value according to your needs Scroll Up: ``` WebUI.scrollToElement(findTestObject('object_to_scroll_to'), -10) ``` * Note the negative value `-10`. This will scroll up instead of down. Scroll Left: ``` WebUI.executeJavaScript("window.scrollTo(${x}, ${y})", [0, 0]) ``` * `x` and `y` are the coordinates to scroll to. In this case, we're scrolling to the top-left corner of the page (0, 0). Scroll Right: ``` WebUI.executeJavaScript("window.scrollTo(${x}, ${y})", [document.body.scrollWidth, 0]) ``` * `document.body.scrollWidth` gets the width of the page, and we're scrolling to the right edge of the page. Scroll to a specific element: ``` WebUI.scrollToElement(findTestObject('object_to_scroll_to')) ``` * This will scroll to the specified element on the page. Scroll to a specific coordinate: ``` WebUI.executeJavaScript("window.scrollTo(${x}, ${y})", [x, y]) ``` * Replace `x` and `y` with the coordinates you want to scroll to. Remember to replace `findTestObject('object_to_scroll_to')` with the actual object you want to scroll to, and adjust the timeout values as needed. I hope this helps -
