Hi, I am curious on the issue. Could you please take the screenshot of the Object Repository for the element?. May be the Id properties is not set correctly.

Sheri,
Could you take a screenshot of the Element property at Object Repository? (Object Repository/connect to Twitter2/Page_PointBurst (2)/span_Connect with)

I’m also getting a similar error… did anyone get a resolution??

Are there any solutions to this??

This thread’s issue circle around ‘WebElementNotFound’ exception, in this case it’s suggested that you adjust your Xpath or CSS based on this:

I’m getting this same error when trying to use the verifyElementPresent with an object from the repository. I had this same test in Selenium IDE and over there I’m referencing the object with it’s id, but this doesn’t seem to work with Katalon Studio. So far I’ve tried every solution proposed in all the related posts I’ve found, including the January 24th post by Vinh Nguyen found in https://docs.katalon.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=5117668#SpyWebUtility(sinceversion5.0.0)-HowtogetwebobjectsXPathorCSSLocator

Using the Spy Web tool I get the same locators that I’ve manually tried to introduce, and when using the ‘Verify and Highlight’ button all of them seem to work as expected, but when I save the object and then introduce the object in my test, again it can’t be found.

I’ve tried Basic selection using id, css and xpath. I’ve also tried selection using CSS and XPATH exclusively. Nothing seems to work and I always end up with the error:
com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.WebElementNotFoundException: Web element with id: ‘’ located by ‘’ not found

Any idea as to what can be happening or how can I fix this?

So, after looking everywhere for a possible explanation, I found out about the problem of finding the objects inside an iFrame that seems to affect every automation tool aside from Selenium IDE.

In case anyone else has the same problem I was having, here are a few possible solutions (#3 did it for me): https://www.katalon.com/resources-center/tutorials/handling-iframe-issue/
