Not able to automate datepicker field to select the date.
I have my testdata in excelsheet and is linked with Katalon project. I’m not able set the needed date in datepicker field.
‘Set Text’ doesn’t work, because the field is not editable manually. You can only select a date through datepicker.
Please help me to resolve this issue. I have attached the screenshot.
Hi Saranya,
You can try this project: https://github.com/katalon-studio/katalon-web-automation. This project has a custom keyword to handle date picker: https://github.com/katalon-studio/katalon-web-automation/blob/master/Keywords/reusableComponents/DatepickerHandler.groovy and you can use it as a solution to work with your calendar 
Can anyone provide with instructions on how to build / use that project? Thanks!

Why don’t you use Jquery to set or get value from date-picker??
I gave up on Katalon methods for setting and getting values.
To set value you can do this
$(’#yourElementID’).val(‘09.04.2018’)
In your script you can put this:
WebUI.executeJavaScript((’$("#IdOfDatePicker").val("’ + YourGlobalVariable) + ‘")’, [])
Hello, I have the same problem and it is my solution.
WebUI.focus(findTestObject(‘Page_Business Insurance/input_Fecha’))
WebUI.executeJavaScript(’$(\’:input\’).removeAttr(\‘readonly\’)’, [])
WebUI.delay(1)
WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Page_Business Insurance/input_Fecha’), ‘01/11/2018’)
WebUI.sendKeys(findTestObject(‘Page_Business Insurance/input_Fecha’), Keys.chord(Keys.ENTER))

HI!
Where can I set de value?
Luis_alberto
why in my katalon not work, but No error in execute javascript.,
and only error in object repository Date picker not found.
.
you are using the attribute “readonly = true” to define your object, when you ejecute the javascript you removed that attribute in the web page and the attribute changed to “readonly = false”.
try to define your object with the Id value litke this.
Thanks a lot, this solution is working for my Date picker for jQuery v4.0.6.
