Unable to Click on Button

Unable to Click on Button

============================

I am a beginner in Automation Testing and unable to find solution for how to click on Buttons
Even though this button is not clicked, My test case did not fail and that is kinda strange behaviour

Below is My Code -

WebUI.openBrowser(‘’)

‘go to URL’

WebUI.navigateToUrl('https://www.ratesupermarket.ca/term_life_insurance’)

‘Enter Post code - Go to next Page’

WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Rates Page 1/Page_Life Insurance Comparison/input_postal_code’), ‘M4P1R3’)

WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘Get Quotes’, false)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Rates Page 1/Page_Life Insurance Comparison/button_Get Quotes’))

**HTML Tags - **

Get Quotes

Xpath used in Object repository - //button[@id=‘submit’] ;

I have tried some other variations but in all cases button is not clicked
Submit instead of Click
Use other attributed like class, Id etc
Not able to click buttons on any test case

please add console log so we can see messages (and errors)

why do you think button was not clicked? because from logs it seem that Katalon did what you asked - send click on Object: ‘Object Repository/Rates Page 1/Page_Life Insurance Comparison/button_Get Quotes’
what is expected behavior and what do you see?

Once button (Get Quotes) is clicked new page should be uploaded but in this test case even though logs shows button is clicked the new page is not uploaded (this is happening with all my test cases where I have to click on Button)

Compare Insurance, Mortgage Rates & Credit Cards - RATESDOTCA

This is the page that should be uploaded on clicking
