Desktop App: can't get any TestCaseContext or properties

[veroS]

*Summary
TestCaseContext.getTestCaseId() not working for Tests of Desktop Apps

*Steps to reproduce
Try to get TestCase name or ID
by e.g. TestCaseContext.getTestCaseId()
TestCaseContext.getProperties().getAt(‘Name’)
TestCaseContext.getProperties()
…

*Expected Results
Name or ID as seen in the TestCase Properties

*Actual Results
TestCaseContext.getTestCaseId() not known
TestCaseContext.getProperties().getAt(‘Name’) is null
TestCaseContext.getProperties() itself shows, that no information is given (see below)

---

*Operating System
Windows 10

*Katalon Studio version
e.g. version 9.5.0 since 10 is not able to automate desktop projects…

*Katalon Studio logs

Hi @veroS,

Thank you for sharing the bug. Appreciate your time and contribution

I will let my team know and investigate this. Thank you

Hi @veroS,

Sorry for my late response. I get the answer that TestCaseContext does not have the properties method

For your reference, please take a look at TestCaseContext Java API: TestCaseContext (Katalon Studio API Specification).

Thank you

Thank you, @Elly_Tran , I expirienced this.
The idea was the find a way to get any usable information about TestCaseContext, since non of the mentioned methods work (not only properties).

Also not getTestCaseId(), which clearly should:

→ I think, this is a Bug.

Is there any other possibility to get the ID during runtime??

Sorry, i DOES work. I found a solution for my issues here:

TestCaseId

kazurayam said: Valeriy, The following post would answer to your first question: Get Name of test in a custom keyword - Katalon Studio - Katalon Community Thanks, Kazurayam, it works fine I just thought, that ID parameter is an attribute of test case and it had initialized when I created it. So i thought, there is a way one could get it without running a test case. But anyway global variable is an option

Thank you!
