Migrate Katalon Studio from 10.x to 11.x
Katalon Studio 11.x includes several important core framework upgrades to ensure improved compatibility and support for modern automation standards. These changes may introduce breaking behavior in projects that depend on older versions of the underlying runtimes or libraries. This document outlines the core framework updates in 11.x and any required manual updates.
Core Framework comparison​
Core Framework | 10.x | 11.x |
|---|---|---|
Selenium | 4.22 | 4.39 |
Cucumber | 3.x | 7.x |
Java | 17 | 21 |
Eclipse | 2024-06 | 2025-09 |
Appium Java Client | 9.2.3 | 10.0.0 |
Impact on BDD projects​
With the upgrade to Cucumber 7, BDD projects may require manual updates in the following areas:
Step definition imports​
Legacy cucumber.api.* imports must be replaced with io.cucumber.*.
Step definition syntax​
- Regex-based step definitions must explicitly use
^and$anchors. - Cucumber Expressions (
{string},{int}, etc.) remain supported and are recommended. {string}parameters now require quoted values in feature files.
Tag expressions​
Comma-separated tags (,) are no longer supported for OR conditions. You need to replace with explicit operators (and, or, not) in tag expressions.
Keywords such as runFeatureFolderWithTags and runFeatureFileWithTags may fail if tags are not updated.
Example
- Before (10.x and earlier)
String[] tags = ["@tag1, @tag2"]
- After (11.x)
String[] tags = ["@tag1 or @tag2"]
