Hello Team, I have a question about the whats the best way to enter text in the text field for e.g First Name, Last Name I discovered today that there is no consistency in my scripts and some fields are using Set Text or some are using Send Keys. I personally prefer Send Keys as they simulate ente…

[image] manpreet.mukkar: I personally prefer Send Keys as they simulate entering key one by one. That’s fine. However, be aware you’re testing the browser’s functionality as much as you’re testing your AUT. (And let’s be honest, testing the browser is not your job!) To help you make a decisi…

Manpreet, I just realized, that answer is a practical example of the general advice I offered you before. “Gatekeepers”, remember? [image] GetCSSValue Keyword Usage Katalon Studio Yep. I’m not surprised. We could have a lengthy exchange here and still not get to the bott…

@manpreet.mukkar and @Russ_Thomas i am struggling with these two options and trying to find one that can work for me. i am trying to set a string like ‘all apples are fruits’ and i have tried both send keys and set text. but screen goes so fast that it does not type anything and nor is giving error…

@ravneet.boparai There might be many reasons around that. Can you try adding a delay before entering the text? Then enter the text in the field one by one? Use Send Keys for that. I am not sure if it will work but if possible give it a try and also make sure the object selector is correct.

Yes I agree to @manpreet.mukkar , maybe you can try to add delay before the action. Hope that works

@manpreet.mukkar and @sarah2 My code is as follows and i have to use both sendKeys and setText to make it working. If i am using single of them then nothing works. I was already having wait of 20sec before using setText. Don’t know how to move forward as i need to select this address column for ma…

[image] ravneet.boparai: WebUI.waitForPageLoad(20, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) This is NOT a wait of 20 sec. waitForPageLoad not really waiting for the page to finish loading - #2 by Russ_Thomas Try add a WebUI.delay(10) before the setText step for testing. Also, move your waitForEleme…

WebUI.waitForPageLoad(20, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('New Folder2/Page_New Service Request - Cityworks/Address Field'), 10) WebUI.setText(findTestObject('New Folder2/Page_New Service Request - Cityworks/Address Field'), '2 wellington st w') If tha…

Yeah! That’s working now Thank You so much

:slight_smile: Perfect ! Now, we know it’s only a delay problem, so you can remove the delay step because you move the waitForElementVisible at the good position. If the text disappears again, you only have to increase the timeout of the waitForElementVisible or add more waitFor[...] steps

Manpreet,

I just realized, that answer is a practical example of the general advice I offered you before. “Gatekeepers”, remember?
