Katalon Log Viewer: Tabular View vs. Tree View
We can view the Log Viewer in two different modes: First, tabular view, and second, tree view. Additionally, you can switch to the tree view by selecting the Tree View toggle as illustrated below:
The Tree View display logs in a structural way that relates to how the test case/test suite organized. Additionally, users can now navigate to the respective step by selecting from the context menu, as shown below:
Scroll Lock
While the test is in execution, the Log Viewer will update with real-time log messages. Moreover, here the most recent log message appears at the bottom of the view. Therefore, the Log Viewer keeps scrolling down during the test execution. However, users may want to keep the Log Viewer standing still so that they can verify specific log messages. To do so, you can select Scroll Lock.
As mentioned above, users can view execution logs in Katalon using two different views in Log Viewer. Additionally, these views allow users to quickly track test execution. Consequently, modifications to the test scripts happen accordingly.
