But it is still not working. Please help me fix this issue Thank you

Hai, i dont know if this is a common problem or not. Usually, if we do recording, elements that captured will contain messy xpath and couldn’t be used again(Not all, but like 30%). For me, the solution is to edit the object by myself, and i usually use ‘Attributes’ not ‘XPath’ (you still can put xpath on attributes tho, so it’s a win win). From your case, i think you can try to implement this [45]

Hi Purbo, I tried attributes : [image] Same error. Caused by: com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.WebElementNotFoundException: Web element with id: ‘Object Repository/Page_Create instance/textarea_Add New Virtual Server_form-control ng-untouched ng-valid ng-dirty’ located by ‘By.xpath: //textarea[@placeholder = ‘Please enter reason’]’ not found I tried many way. But it still doesn’t work. Could you please suggest other way?

Sorry HeleneB, I tried many way but not working

have you checked if the xpath is valid or not? try firefox add-ons ‘chropath’ to verify if the xpath above found or not on your web page

[image] purbo: or not on your web page I checked Xpath. It is valid. I checked both on Firefox (add-on chropath ) and chrome. [image] :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:

Yep, I already tried Attributes and set Xpath as I mentioned above. :frowning: :frowning: [image] :frowning: :frowning:
