Need help, I have an object that does not appear in html until a data set is correct, the issue is that when I test with verifyElementNotPresent it gives me an error saying Unable to verify object ‘Object Repository / EntryChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento / Valor\_Patente’ is not present.  
Also, that when the element is already present in the html that leaves the iteration and enter value in the field that was not visible before.  
attached code:

```auto
    boolean var= WebUI.verifyElementNotPresent(findTestObject('Object Repository/IngresoChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento/Valor_Patente'),10)
    if (var == true) {
    	for (def row = 1; row <= findTestData('ChasisYMotor').getRowNumbers(); row++) {
    		WebUI.setText(findTestObject('IngresoChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento/Nro.Chasis'), findTestData('ChasisYMotor').getValue(
    				'CHASIS', row))
    	
    		WebUI.setText(findTestObject('IngresoChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento/Nro.Motor'), findTestData('ChasisYMotor').getValue(
    				'MOTOR', row))
    	
    	WebUI.click(findTestObject('IngresoChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento/BotonBuscar'))
    	}
    	}
    else (var==false) {
    			WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/IngresoChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento/Valor_Patente'),
    		'20000')
    	}

```

There is a problem with your code.

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/7/7f4958415ceab233e03058602fdb471d3a57c027.png)

Try this construct:

```auto
boolean var= WebUI.verifyElementNotPresent(findTestObject('Object Repository/IngresoChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento/Valor_Patente'),10)
    if (var == true) {
     // same stuff
    } else {
      WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Rep...'))
    }

```

Edit your code to look like that, then let us know what’s happening.

Thanks for the correction in the part of the code, but the problem is in Boolean var = WebUI.verifyElementNotPresent (findTestObject (‘Object Repository / EntryChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento / Valor\_Patiente’), 10), since validating that the element is not visible gives me the error in  
-Reason:  
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to verify object ‘Object Repository/IngresoChasisYmotorEmpadronamiento/Valor\_Patente’ is not present

I’m sorry, I don’t believe that’s true.

But you are not validating the element is not VISIBLE, you’re verifying the element is not _PRESENT_.

1. **Present** : true if the element can be found in the DOM.
2. **Visible** : true if the element can be found AND it is visible in the viewport (screen).

Plus, pay attention to the difference between:

1. _verifying_ something is present/visible
2. _waiting until_ something is present/visible

hi,  
boolean condition

```
if (var) --> executed if var=true
if (!var) --> executed if var=false
