Call custom keyword from a custom keyword

plaidshirtakos · June 17, 2019, 8:31am

I have 2 custom keywords, located in the same package. I try to call one custom keyword from the other one. This code isn’t working in this case:
CustomKeywords.'mypack.myclass.mymethod'()

@Sudheer_D_J : I try this, but got error message.

Keyword, which should be called:

package uploadFile

import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory.findTestData
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject

import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword
import com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.Checkpoint
import com.kms.katalon.core.cucumber.keyword.CucumberBuiltinKeywords as CucumberKW
import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile
import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling
import com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCase
import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestData
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import java.awt.Robot
import java.awt.Toolkit
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent

import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import internal.GlobalVariable

class upload2Files {
	@Keyword
	def upload(TestObject to, String filePath , String file , String file2) {
		WebUI.click(to)
		StringSelection ss = new StringSelection("\""+filePath+"\" " +"\""+ file +"\" "+ file2 );
		Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);
		Robot robot = new Robot();
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL)
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
	}
}

Other keyword, where I try to call it:
(new uploadFile.upload2Files()).upload(findTestObject('Object Repository/validateFile/input_originalFile'), (d_directory.toString() + '\\') + detachedTXT1, (d_directory.toString() + '\\') + detachedTXT2)

Error message:

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerInvocationException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: uploadFile.upload2Files.upload() is applicable for argument types: (com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) values

Sorry i dont about the error. i am thinking like it is an argument issue. But calling one keyword into other keyword this is the way.

Someone can help you

Timo_Kuisma · June 17, 2019, 4:31pm

Timo_Kuisma · June 17, 2019, 4:49pm

this will works fine

TEST

def res = CustomKeywords.'com.two.keyword.Keyword1.getString'("Katalon")
println res

KEYWORDS

import com.two.keyword.Keyword2
public class Keyword1 {
	
	@Keyword
	public String getString(String test){
		
		Keyword2 key2 = new Keyword2()
		String res = key2.returnFirstKeywordString(test)
		return res
	}
}

public class Keyword2 {
	
	@Keyword
	public String returnFirstKeywordString(String test2){
		
		return "this is returned from keyword 2 "+test2
	}
}

RESULT
this is returned from keyword 2 Katalon

@Timo_Kuisma : I got the same error when I try to execute it. Could you please share a sample project, that is working on your environment?

Timo_Kuisma · June 18, 2019, 2:54pm

hello,

did you added import as i did
import com.two.keyword.Keyword2
and did you declared new object from class 2 in class 1 like
Keyword2 key2 = new Keyword2()

show your keywords, i can check

plaidshirtakos · June 19, 2019, 8:16am

@Timo_Kuisma : So, here are my keywords:

Screenshot_14_katalon

upload2Files.groovy:

	}
}

Method call in fileupload.groovy:

import uploadFile.upload2Files

in method:
upload2Files up = new upload2Files()
up.upload(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/validateFile/input_originalFile’), d_directory.toString(), detachedTXT1, ,detachedTXT2)

Error message:

org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerInvocationException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: uploadFile.fileupload.upload2Files() is applicable for argument types: (uploadFile.upload2Files) values: [uploadFile.upload2Files@28d79cba]

Mate_Mrse · June 19, 2019, 8:42am

There is a space between detachedTXT1 and detachedTXT2.

plaidshirtakos · June 19, 2019, 9:14am

Thanks, I edited it, but error comes in first line from this 3.

Mate_Mrse · June 19, 2019, 10:06am

Try changing the 3 lines to this:

upload2Files.upload(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/validateFile/input_originalFile’), d_directory.toString(), detachedTXT1, detachedTXT2)

I am no programming expert, but I think you are calling a constructor method that has not been defined when you invoke upload2Files up = new upload2Files().

plaidshirtakos · June 19, 2019, 1:06pm

That was my first try, but it doesn’t work also, I got same error message. A sample project with this construct would be really helpful.

Timo_Kuisma · June 19, 2019, 1:39pm

hi,

new instance is not created correct
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: uploadFile
or
are these really files or String objects?
String file , String file2
debug your arguments
System.out.println("DEBUG "+filePath+ " " +file+ " " +file2)

HeleneB · June 19, 2019, 1:41pm

Hi,
This works

package test

import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword

public class KeywordA {
	
	@Keyword
	def methodAKeywordA(String something){
		println "I'm in the KeywordA"
	}
}

package test

import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword

public class KeywordB {
	
	KeywordA kA = new KeywordA()
	
	@Keyword
	def methodB(){
		kA.methodAKeywordA("")
	}
}

Your problem is on arguments. Please share your full error message. You should have

@Timo_Kuisma :

Method call:

Method:

As I see parameter lists are correct and type of variables too.
String parts = detachedTXT.split(“__”);
String detachedTXT1 = parts[0];
String detachedTXT2 = parts[1];

Timo_Kuisma · June 20, 2019, 12:52pm

hi,

usually this error mean that types are not correct or some type not defined at all
No signature of method: uploadFile.fileupload.upload2Files()

HeleneB · June 20, 2019, 1:20pm

And this method ?

Timo_Kuisma · June 20, 2019, 1:52pm

yes,

check your argument types and how those are used in methods
