Hi, Avinash

Try to replace “type” command with “sendKeys” command

then it would be like:

sendKeys | id=RegoField1 | 123abc

Thank you all for the support. We’ve released version 3.5.1 with improvements for “type” command to fix this issue.

Due to some conflicts with existing test cases in KR 3.5.3 we have a new command for you.

In “Vehicle Registration Number” try “setText | | 123ABC”.

I am facing the same issue and I am using Katalon recorder 3.6.12. Could you please help fix this?

Background:
Using type command throws an error message " Element “id=SearchControl1_ctl04” not found.

Using the Command: runScript || Target: $(#SearchControl1_ctl04) || Vaue: sad156 (as suggested) did not throw any error but the value does not show up on the text box.

I am struck in this for a while. Can someone plz help?

PS: I will not be able to share the screen or link with which I am working on.

Hmmm. Maybe try to put value to this input from console of your page with JS. If it will works it should work from Katalon as well. If it’s not work from console try too point on this field in diifrent way for example instead “document.getElemenById” use “document.getElemensByClassName” or maybe even document.evaluate.

If none of it works it’s a problem with page it self so you need to talk with developers.

I had similar issue with typing postcode to input because of validation. In my case simple JS works fine - it was something like this: document.getElementById("postcode-input-id").value("12345");

The runScript command executes the JavaScript snippet in the Target field. The above code doesn’t look valid.
It looks like you are using jQuery, so try something like:

runScript | $("#SearchControl1_ctl04").val("sad156")  |

If that doesn’t work, you might need to use the window prefix to execute the code, if so try:

runScript | window.$("#SearchControl1_ctl04").val("sad156")  |

Using plain JavaScript, you could try:

runScript | document.getElementById("SearchControl1_ctl04").value = "sad156" | |

Using the setText command the syntax would be

setText | id=SearchControl1_ctl04 | sad156

and just for completeness, the type command syntax:

type | id=SearchControl1_ctl04 | sad156
