Good Afternoon, I am wanting to click a button from a dropdown tab. I have the Recording of me clicking 2 different IDs, but neither of them actually click the button. Any help would be appreciated. I will post my script and error at the bottom. ``` //DropDown Menu WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Emp/Page/DropdownMenu')) //Support Button 1 WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Emp/Page/div_Support')) //Support Button 2 //not_run: WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Emp/Page/span_Support')) ``` **Error** Reason: com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to verify object is present at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIKeywordMain.stepFailed(WebUIKeywordMain.groovy:64) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIKeywordMain.runKeyword(WebUIKeywordMain.groovy:26) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.builtin.VerifyElementPresentKeyword.verifyElementPresent(VerifyElementPresentKeyword.groovy:92) ---

Hello @Arnel I am following your steps but I have a question. Questions: -Sample 1: 1. How do I get to that “Selected Locator” tab? I opened the WebRecorder, and was about to add a item however Im not sure what Keyword I used in the items category. Can you shed more light around that area? Answer: Nevermind I found the Object Repo box **NewQuestion** 2. I am trying to keep up with your instructions but now i am at a new halt. You used the `attribute` section, but you copied a class. And I got the dropdown class information, but I got a error message. I will post my script and code at the bottom. ``` //Verify that Request off is the main widget on the screen //WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('Page/InsideRequestBox'), 5) WebUI.delay(5) //Nofitication Bar //not_run: WebUI.verifyElementNotVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/Employee001/Page/NotficationBar')) //WebUI.delay(5) //DropDown Menu WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Employee001/Page/DropdownMenu')) WebUI.delay(5) //Inspect the dropdown menu java.util.List list = WebUiCommonHelper.findTestObject('Object Repository/Employee001/Page/DropdownListReadOut') println list.text list[1].click() ``` **Error** 08-12-2019 11:44:57 AM Test Cases/Employee/EmployeeOne ``` Elapsed time: 28.080s Test Cases/Employee/EmployeeOne FAILED.

> [@vellj123](#): > > No signature of method: static com.kms.katalon.core.webui.common.WebUiCommonHelper.findTestObject() This is not a method in the WebUiCommonHelper class. Instead of this: `java.util.List list = WebUiCommonHelper.findTestObject('Object Repository/Employee001/Page/DropdownListReadOut')` try: `List list = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(findTestObject('Employee001/Page/DropdownListReadOut'))` ---
