Identify an element on webpage dynamically

@michael.chen

Hey Russ_Thomas, not sure why you mentioned that I need to be sincere about the code I’m using, I’m a newbie using Katalon,

I requested, using the word please that you report your problem clearly. You claimed a certain line of code produced a certain error. I don’t believe that’s true. WebUI.click() does not produce errors talking about verifyElementPresent().

@michael.chen

My apology in advance if I am doing something wrong here.

You do NOT need to apologize, Michael. And yes, you are doing something wrong - we’ll come to that in a minute. What we need is a clearly stated issue and a specific error caused by that issue. That’s all. I’m sorry if you take umbrage with my remarks, but I am trying to help you. If you report issues properly, things will go smoother.

Katalon has problem clicking the object

Reason:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to click on object ‘Object Repository/page_Patient_Search/link_PatientName’

At least now we have an issue (click) reporting an error about click.

Now go back to your error and find the “Caused by” part. That will help a lot.

For future reference, follow this guide to ask questions and make great reports:
