Hi, I have a Modal dialogue that I open at different times from different test cases. Each time I like to verify same data on the dialog before moving to next step in the test case. Because the verification of the data is same in all test cases I decided the move the verification to keyword. Problem is when I do verification from the test case, console output will show that verification was done but if I move the verification to Keyword, nothing is displayed under Console Output, it only shows the keyword call that we make from the test case. **If Verification is inside the test case, console out shows the following:** 2024-04-12 09:53:49.265 DEBUG testcase.2\_Merge - 10: verifyElementText(findTestObject(“ABC/Modals/Merge/h3\_merge\_header”), “Hello World”) 2024-04-12 09:53:49.265 DEBUG testcase.2\_Merge - 13: verifyElementChecked(findTestObject(“ABC/Modals/input\_checkbox\_Name”), 60) 2024-04-12 09:53:50.300 DEBUG testcase.2\_Merge - 14: verifyElementNotChecked(findTestObject(“ABC/Modals/input\_checkbox\_Age”), 60) 2024-04-12 09:53:51.761 DEBUG testcase.2\_Merge - 15: verifyElementNotChecked(findTestObject(“ABC/Modals/input\_checkbox\_Place”), 60) **If the same code of verification is inside the keyword then the console out shows the following:** 2024-04-12 09:53:49.265 DEBUG testcase.2\_Merge - 9: com.Pages.ABC.VerifyDataonMergeModal() 2024-04-12 10:31:13.600 INFO k.k.c.m.CustomKeywordDelegatingMetaClass - com.Pages.ABC.VerifyDataonMergeModal is PASSED Thanks in advance! ---

If all you are looking for is a log of your verification, then change your Keyword to a “callTestCase” instead. A called Test Case leaves a log, whereas a Keyword does not. ---

Hi, Thank you for the response. If I do the verification within the test case or inside another testcase and then “callTestCase”, I do see the logs. Here’s my keyword: @Keyword public VerifyDataonMergeModal() { ``` WebUI.verifyElementChecked(findTestObject('ABC/Modals/input_checkbox_Name'), 60) WebUI.verifyElementNotChecked(findTestObject('ABC/Modals/input_checkbox_Age'), 60) WebUI.verifyElementNotChecked(findTestObject('ABC/Modals/input_checkbox_Place'), 60) } ```
