Do action if object appears anywhere during the test

[simao.oliveira]

Hello,

I am testing a web page that, after some minutes of being unused it shows a popup that after x time the logout will be made, if I want to accept or cancel.

It appears due to the machine we are using right now to execute the tests.
Is there any option to keep Katalon “seaching” for that object, that can appear “anytime” and click if it appears?

Thanks

Maybe something like the below might work:

How to handle a Pop up which shows up randomly in any page while browsing website

How about creating a Custom Keyword that you pass your Test Object to for all your click statements? The Custom Keyword has a try / catch block for when your click event is “captured” by another element (I can’t remember what the event is called at this time). In the catch clause, you test for the presence of some of the pop-up text, like “Creates an account …Loyalty Rewards Program”, and if it’s found, then call another process to deal with it. def void testClick(TestObject to) { try { …

The idea is all your “click” statements would go through the Custom Keyword you make to determine if something interferes with it. If there was no pop-up, the click statement would work like normal. If there was a pop-up, you have a try/catch block to react to perhaps some text on the pop-up and deal with it as you want.
So, instead of
WebUI.click(...)
you would go
CustomKeywords.'com.Tools.testClick'(...)

No. There isn’t any.

But you can repeat calling “WebUI.verifyXXXPresent” with short timeout for ALL screen you are interested in.
