Hello Team, I have another question, The issue I am facing today is I am not able to click on an element using Katalon. The element is shown on a Pop and by default the 1st Tab (Sign In ) is selected. I want to select the second tab (Sign Up )and do my validations but Katalon is not clicking on that element saying the element is not intractable. Here is the screenshot of pop up (See the 2nd element Sign Up ) ![20%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/a/a6e23a05f731683e95badd7b177f6a95c38df1ce.png) When the 1st tab (Sign In) is selected there are visible changes in the HTML : ![01%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/1/1cd2ced86a5261cb93c731c392609c8aa64f37dd.png) And when 2nd Tab (Sign Up ) is selected then : (See class active is assigned to it) ![18%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/7/735076e5133e8dc31ab2ccc59054c839f94cbc9f.png) ---

According to your error: `Unable to click on object (Root cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object is null)` there was a problem getting the Test Object defined by “Page\_testweb landing /a\_Sign Up” from the Object Repository. Please ensure that this object exists in your Object Repository, and has the name and directory that you specified. ---

@Brandon_Hein Sorry for delay in reply. We have decided not to automate this scenario as of now because there is a Google Captcha thing that will block us in next step and we don’t want that to be removed even on test environment. Thanks for your help on this.
