hi guys i am automating a note pad with a few test cases,

i noticed that everytime the test cases executed, a new notepad opens which eventually i have about 10 notepads opened.

so i would like to put a condition statement to check if the window application is opened, skip the start application command(startapplication.notedpad) and proceed the next line command?

Any experts help would appericate.

Thanks!!

Hi @devilgim88,

If you just feel uncomfortable with a lot of notepads opening. Why didn’t you just close it at the end of each test case /=)

Yeah, there is a piece of advice. You could use this strategy. Open it once, then do all the tests, and then close it.

You could achieve it by creating a global variable with a name like "isApplicationOpened" with the initial value set to false.

And then in the @BeforeTestSuite listener, call to open your app and set the global variable "isApplicationOpened" to true.

import com.kms.katalon.core.windows.keyword.WindowsBuiltinKeywords as Windows
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

class TestSuiteListeners {
    @BeforeTestSuite
    def BeforeTestSuite(TestSuiteContext testSuiteContext) {
        Windows.startApplication(GlobalVariable.application)
        GlobalVariable.isApplicationOpened = true
    }
}

Then in your test case

import com.kms.katalon.core.windows.keyword.WindowsBuiltinKeywords as Windows
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

if (GlobalVariable.isApplicationOpened == false) {
    Windows.startApplication(GlobalVariable.application)
}

// Do some stuff... click, verify...

if (GlobalVariable.isApplicationOpened == false) {
    Windows.closeApplication()
}

~ I hope the above is useful to you /=)
