Clicking on a button element is not actually clicking it

Hey Michael

Instead of using a Test Object, try executing a click in JavaScript/jQuery (I do this all the time since it’s more reliable). You do, of course, need to ensure first that JavaScript/jQuery are “ready”.

You will need to create a Keyword class: https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Define+custom+keywords and add a method something like…

  /**
   * Click an element using jQuery.
   * @param selector (String) jQuery selector to target the element.
   * @param iFrameSelector (string) optional iframe selector.
   */
  static void jQ_click(String selector, String iFrameSelector = null) {
    comment('jQ_click clicking ' + selector)
    String js = "\$(arguments[0]).click();"
    if(iFrameSelector) {
      js = "\$(arguments[1]).contents().find(arguments[0]).click();"
    }
    WebUI.executeJavaScript(js, Arrays.asList(selector, iFrameSelector))
  }

Then pass in your selector like this:

jQ_click("#your-id")

Hope that helps.
