Hi there, Currently I’m struggling with putting a variable into xpath to make the object detection dynamic. The xpath which identifies the object(a_dashboarditems): //*[normalize-space(text())=‘Projects’] object.PNG This works perfectly fine. I can adjust the name and it will also find other it…

Could you try this in the Test Object definition for a_dashboarditems: //*[normalize-space(text())='${dashboard}'] You need to quote the string value of ${dashboard}.

kazurayam said: It seems that backslash before single quotation is not necessary. PLS try this://*[normalize-space(text())='${dashboard}'] Thanks, works like a charm!

Hi, what I’m doing wrong? I tried the whole day, with css and with xpath property, but didn’t get this approach to work with Katalon Studio 5.4.2. As long as I use hard coded values for the active xpath statement of my TestObject (with Basic Selection Method) like: //td[3] or even for a according…

**# Solution ** Please change your XPath expression as this: //td[${webElmId}] and try to see what you get. # Description You have this now: //td['${webElmId}'] Katalon Studio transforms this expression to //td['3'] This expression is equal to: //td[position()='3'] The XPath Engine ( jaxen …

Hi kazurayam, once again very conclusively deduced, thank you for your effort! But unfortunately, I had only forgotten to mention that, it doesn’t work for me without quotes either. The result of my command: println WebUI.getText(findTestObject(myTestObjectId)) … in the case of using xpath is the…

Your Test Case snippet is this: println WebUI.getText(findTestObject(myTestObjectId)) This is not enough. The following code would work: println WebUI.getText(findTestObject(myTestObjectId, ['webElmId' : 3])) See the API doc of ObjectRepository#findTestObject(String, Map)

Genius, that was my fault! :slight_smile: I somehow assumed without checking that the object properties would have direct access to the (local) variables used in the respective TestCase. Thank you very much for illuminating that! :slight_smile:

HI, I am trying to use below expression findTestObject(’//a[text() = ‘${sElement’}’) here sElement is variable, I tried with and without single quotes but still unable to find object. If I use individual object it’s working fine. I tried similar Xpath with double quotes like below findTestObject…

@kazurayam - Can you help me on this. This is the xpath with value directly on it //li[@id=‘Car’] Trying to replace the above by //li[@id=’${loanPurpose}’] Caused by: com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.WebElementNotFoundException: Web element with id: ‘Object Repository/Page/auto’ located by …

How does your test case script looks like? Does it have a line which interpolates the placeholder ${loanPurpose} with a value Car, like: println WebUI.getText(findTestObject(myTestObjectId, ['loanPurpose' : 'Car']))
