Hi,

Scenario: Collect the list of elements and get the size of elements and perform actions on that.

I had collected a list of elements by using:

List listofelements = WebUI.findWebElements(findTestObject(‘Locator’))  
for(int i=0;i\<listofelements.size();i++)  
{  
if(listofelements.size()\>0)  
{  
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Locator’))  
}  
}

Is this correct approach for my scenario please help with this… ???

Seems valid to me. Please try it out to see if it works and then post the result back.

I am getting following error when running the code.

Reason:  
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords.findWebElements() is applicable for argument types: (com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject) values: [TestObject - ‘Object Repository/Homepage/closetabs’]

You miss some parameter in _findWebElements_ method - TestObject and integer is expected (timeout?)

Most probably missing import (don’t you use WebUI alias?)

I edited it and kept as WebUI instead of WebUiBuiltInKeywords… i am getting missing method exception. What is meant by missing method exception???

You try to find a List of elements :

> No signature of method: static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject() is applicable for argument types: (java.util.Array **List** )

> if (pending.size() \> 0) {  
> WebUI.click(findTestObject( **pending** ))  
> }  
> }

But I can’t understand what you’re trying to do. Your List pending is a List of WebElements, so you can’t use the WebUI.click method, because it works with TestObject

Actually after login into application there will be some tabs opened some times or there will be no tabs in that application. so i’m getting close buttons of that tabs in the list and putting in for loop all buttons and if buttons size \>0 then we must click on that close tab button.

So, this is the scenario…

Try

    }

yeah, thanks for the logic i changed some of that and tried it worked for me.

List pending = WebUI.findWebElements(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Homepage/closetabs’), 30)

int closetabsSize = pending.size()

if (closetabsSize \> 0) {  
for (int i = 0; i \< closetabsSize; i++) {  
pending.get(i).click()  
}  
}

The fix to the problem is right in the message. The OP just didn’t have the correct parameters.
