Custom Keyword java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Andreas_Voit · August 28, 2019, 12:23pm

I added a custom Keyword for Reading a PDF Document to test, if my application created a correct pdf report.

But sometimes I get the following error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tools.PDFReader

Maybe another important note I only get the error by executing by a jenkins task or in console mode and I use Firefox as browser.

My Katalon Studio Version: 6.3.2 Build: 4

I used this example for my custom Keyword: GitHub - Tigger99/ReadPDF-Documents

My code for my keyword:

package tools

import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument
import org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper
import org.testng.Assert

import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword

public class PDFReader {

@Keyword
def ReadLocalPDF(String PDFFILE)
{
File pdf = new File(PDFFILE);
  PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(pdf);
  String pdfText = new PDFTextStripper().getText(doc);
  println(pdfText);
  doc.close();

  Assert.assertTrue(pdfText.contains("Radverkehr"));
  Assert.assertTrue(pdfText.contains("Mobilität"));
  Assert.assertTrue(pdfText.contains("xyz"));
  println "PDF IS GOOD TO GO...\r";
}

Code in my Testcase:

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import static org.junit.Assert.*

import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling as FailureHandling
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI

import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable

// Klick the Print-Button
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Message_Toolbar/btn_print’), FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)

WebUI.delay(GlobalVariable.G_Timeout_Small)

CustomKeywords.‘tools.PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF’(“C:\myfile.pdf”)

Can anyone give me a hint, how to prevent such an error?

Thanks

Andreas

You need to import the following at the top of your script:

import CustomKeywords.‘tools.PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF’()

......................

Or, if you wish to simplify your life a bit:

import tools.PDFReader

and than call the method inside of the script with

PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF(“C:\myfile.pdf”)

Andreas_Voit · August 28, 2019, 1:24pm

Sadly it doesn’t work for me.

First solution with "import CustomKeywords.‘tools.PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF’()!

I got a error by executing the test case.

Console output:

import CustomKeywords.‘tools.PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF’()
^
1 error

Second solution with “import tools.PDFReader”

Elapsed time: 16,298s

Test Cases/Record specific/Meldungen_drucken FAILED.
Reason:
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static tools.PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values:

Possible solutions: ReadLocalPDF(java.lang.String), ReadPDF(java.lang.String)

Now I posted the realname of the pdf file, maybe it matters for the error?

HeleneB · August 28, 2019, 1:47pm

In your TestCase, did you escape the \ ?
You have to use C:\\Users\\username\\...

Andreas_Voit · August 28, 2019, 1:53pm

Yes

CustomKeywords.‘tools.PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF’(“C:\Users\xyz.zx\Downloads\2020000012_Oberflaeche_Am_Buttegraben_7_65326_Aarbergen_9aaf27f287e908c4_-AnMelder.pdf”)

Igi_PL · August 28, 2019, 2:59pm

Hi.

You have to escape special character " \ ". Try this: CustomKeywords.'tools.PDFReader.ReadLocalPDF'("C:\\Users\\xyz.zx\\Downloads\\2020000012_Oberflaeche_Am_Buttegraben_7_65326_Aarbergen_9aaf27f287e908c4_-AnMelder.pdf")

Andreas_Voit · August 28, 2019, 5:17pm

Intressting, I have escaped the character, but by copy Paste to this forum it changed from "\\" to only "\".

That’s not the issue.

Again. It works, but sometime I get the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException .

Could it be an issue of memory?

I set up the memory configuration like “[TIP] How to help reduce memory consumption in Katalon Studio v6.3.0 and above” and monitor, if I’ll get the error again.

Andreas_Voit · August 29, 2019, 6:46am

Sadly the java.lang.ClassNotFoundException still appears.

Andreas_Voit · August 29, 2019, 6:55am

Seems to be a known bug:

kazurayam · August 29, 2019, 8:08am

@Andreas_Voit,

When you execute katalon command, it requires the <projectName>/bin folder and the <projectName>/Libs to be filled with the *.class files. For example, you should have <projectName>/bin/keyword/tools/PDFReader.class file on the machine where Jenkins task runs.

You said you sometimes see a message java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: tools.PDFReader. This message seems to me implying that somehow <projectName>/bin/keyword/tools/PDFReader.class file is missing on the machine where Jenkins task runs

How do you build the <projectName>/bin/keyword/tools/PDFReader.class file on the machine?

Does your jenkins job clones a repository from your Git remote repository? Does the Git remote repository includes the bin/ directory commited into?

kazurayam · August 29, 2019, 8:10am

@devalex88, @ThanhTo

I have a simple question.

Does Katalon Studio console mode perform a full-build everytime it is invoked so that it guarantees the <projectName>/bin directory is fulfilled with the latest *.class binaries?

If Katalon Studio console mode DOES NOT perform a full-build, then I think that a Jenkins job would require a Git repository of Katalon project SHOULD NOT ignore bin/ and Libs/. Am I right?

Andreas_Voit · August 29, 2019, 8:45am

My setting is a little bit tricky

Katalon Studio is installed on a Windows Client.

Jenkins is running on a Linux Server.

Therefore I created a Jenkins Node for my Windows Client and set up a Remote Directory in which Jenkins could write it files.

I set up the Build-Prozess Number to 1.
It uses as Startmethode Java Web Start via Agent.

In the jenkins task I set up to run a Windows Batch Process with the following command:

C:
cd “C:_D\Katalon_Studio_Windows_64”

katalon -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath=“C:\Users\andreas.voit\Katalon_Studio\MPF-Test\MPF-Test.prj” -reportFolder=“C:_D\guitests\reports-print” -reportFileName=“JUnit_Report” -retry=0 -testSuitePath=“Test Suites/Print_Record” -executionProfile=“default” -browserType=“Firefox” -apiKey=#####

I have no problems by running build in functions of katalon studio, but sometimes it has problems with the custom keywords.

Hope that helps?

Does your jenkins job clones a repository from your Git remote repository? Does the Git remote repository includes the bin/ directory commited into?

In my understanding jenkins is just executing the katalon studio command on my windows client and doesn’t copy any files to the linux server.

kazurayam · August 29, 2019, 8:53am

OK, I understand it.

What do you mean by this? When you open Katalon GUI on your PC, no problem. When jenkins executes katalon command remotely on your PC, problems sometimes. — right?

Andreas_Voit · August 29, 2019, 8:56am

Yes, sometime it works.

Maybe you are true with the idea that the console mode doesn’t perform a full-build everytime?

kazurayam · August 29, 2019, 8:57am

Hmm, very strange. I have no more idea why. Perhaps need to find some clue in the Jenkins logs where failure occurred.

Andreas_Voit · August 29, 2019, 9:12am

Do you mean the console output?

I tried to make a screenshot of the output:

oh shit, seems to be to tiny for reading

Seems to be a web-driver issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54091162/message-error-polling-for-changes-failed-networkerror-when-attempting-to-fetc

The solution from the other post is to insert a WebDriverWait Command.

But I’m not sure how I could insert WebDriverWait into my testcase confortable. I mean, I don’t want to insert the raw selenium code into each testcase. And using a custome keyword is not an option, because it is the problem.

kazurayam · August 29, 2019, 1:25pm

I want to confirm if the PDRReader.class file is there when the test failed.

In the windows *.bat file, how about calling dir command to list the <projectName>/bin/keyword/tools directory, as follows

cd “C:_D\Katalon_Studio_Windows_64”

dir /S "C:\Users\andreas.voit\Katalon_Studio\MPF-Test\MPF-Test\bin\keyword"

katalon -noSplash -runMode=console -projectPath=“C:\Users\andreas.voit\Katalon_Studio\MPF-Test\MPF-Test.prj” -reportFolder=“C:_D\guitests\reports-print” -reportFileName=“JUnit_Report” -retry=0 -testSuitePath=“Test Suites/Print_Record” -executionProfile=“default” -browserType=“Firefox” -apiKey=8fa89a0d-f308-4cd0-b2a9-abec092356ec

… the class file may not be there somehow. …

Andreas_Voit · August 29, 2019, 1:42pm

Yes, you are correct.

After a failed execution by executing “dir /S”-Statement I got the error, that the directory cannot be found.

kazurayam · August 29, 2019, 1:47pm

Really? I can’t believe it. Why?

It is unlikely that Katalon Studio deletes the bin directory. What else?
