Can no longer change the values of local variables

Bella · November 29, 2018, 2:30am

Windows 10
Version: 5.9.0

When I try to change the value of a local variable in a test case the change does not appear. I then am unable to save getting the following error.

Steps to reproduce:
* open variables in test case
* try renaming the local variable → observe that variable is not changed
* try saving the test case → observe that you get the error above.

Please read this post: http://forum.katalon.com/discussion/9337/tip-my-test-is-broken-nothing-works-please-help-me and provide more details first.

Thanks for your information.

Bella · November 29, 2018, 2:48am

Hi Vinh Nguyen, please look again. I added more details to clarify.

Zarashima · November 29, 2018, 2:51am

Can you help to provide Katalon Studio logs in this case as well?

Bella · November 29, 2018, 2:55am

There are no logs since the issue is with trying to save changes to a working test case. Since the test case will not save I cannot run the test case,

I just tried a fresh install of katalon and that seems to have fixed the issue for me. This may still be a problem for people who have updated their katalon without a fresh install. Thanks

Zarashima · November 29, 2018, 4:35am

Thanks for your information. We will double check again from our side regard to update installation.

Observed this issue for a second time with the new update

Neacsu_Cornel · April 19, 2019, 1:49pm

Hello @Zarashima,

The exact same issue is still present for all our team members.
Only we do not get it when trying to rename the local variable but while trying to change its value. If you insist, in 10 times one time the value will get saved.
Please see attached video for exact UI actions: http://take.ms/EUJya

This is the workaround I use:

Save the Test Case
Switch to Variables panel
Make a change
Save

If the Test Case is not saved, I always get the “Unable to save part” message. If I remember to save the TC first, I don’t see it.

kazurayam · April 19, 2019, 9:19pm

I think that the “Unable to save part” problem was fixed in the version 6.1.1.

Neacsu_Cornel · April 22, 2019, 8:32am

Thank you @kazurayam for the update,
but for me, the issue does not seem to be solved yet.

I have just installed Katalon Studio Version: 6.1.2 Build: 2 and the behavior is exactly the same, the log records the same error I have provided above.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.kms.katalon.composer.testcase.parts.TestCaseVariablePart.setDirty(TestCaseVariablePart.java:454)

It may have something to do with the fact that I have also imported the settings from the previous Katalon version project…

However, for the moment, the workaround @Russ_Thomas has provided seems to help a lot.

Thank you,
Cornel Neacsu
