Error while clicking on an object

aluri · February 9, 2021, 3:27pm

All,
I am getting the following error when clicking on an object. I would appreciate if you could assist me.

https://missionbio.com/
From the top navigation, I clicked on Capabilities>>SNV and got an error.

Error:
Reason:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Unable to click on object

Here is the test script:

WebUI.openBrowser(’’)
WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘https://missionbio.com/’)
WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’), 40)
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’))
WebUI.closeBrowser()

In the error message, is there a “Caused by…” section?

It’s always better if you post the complete error message.

Here is the complete error message;

============== ROOT CAUSE =====================
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.ElementNotInteractableException: element not interactable

Try…

WebUI.enhancedClick(findTestObject('Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV'))

aluri · February 9, 2021, 4:49pm

This time I got this error:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object is null

Here is my script:
WebUI.openBrowser(’’)
WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘https://missionbio.com/’)
WebUI.enhancedClick(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’))
WebUI.closeBrowser()

Russ_Thomas · February 9, 2021, 5:02pm

I’m not surprised. You changed the original test:

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’), 40)

aluri · February 9, 2021, 5:10pm

I am still getting the error.

WebUI.openBrowser(’’)
WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘https://missionbio.com/’)
WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’), 40)
WebUI.enhancedClick(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’))
WebUI.closeBrowser()

Error:

They have an awkward set of CSS hovers and JS mods going on in that page/site. It’s also very easy to break it (try shrinking the page while the CAPABILITIES popup menu is visible - breaks easily).

So, let’s be pragmatic and go directly to JS instead:

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject('Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV'), 40)
String js = 'document.querySelector("a[href$=\"/capabilities/snv/\"]").click();'
WebUI.executeJavaScript(js, null);

I hope I got the quoting right - it’s tricky.

This time I got this message: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object is null

Russ_Thomas · February 9, 2021, 5:35pm

I didn’t. I checked it on the same website.

Russ_Thomas · February 9, 2021, 5:37pm

Make sure the " and \" are correct - look at my original.

aluri · February 9, 2021, 6:04pm

Can you please confirm if the script that I have written is correct as per your suggestion?

WebUI.openBrowser(’’)
WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘https://missionbio.com/’)
WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’), 40)
String js = ‘document.querySelector(“a[href$=”/capabilities/snv/"]").click();’
WebUI.executeJavaScript(js, null);
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Single Cell Technology Mission Bio/a_SNV’))
WebUI.closeBrowser()

Russ_Thomas · February 9, 2021, 6:14pm

No, it isn’t correct. My last suggestion was to make sure you got the quotes correct - I said they were tricky. This is what you’re missing:

Alternatively, do this for the String js = part…

String js = '''
document.querySelector('a[href$="/capabilities/snv/"]').click();
'''
WebUI.executeJavaScript(js, null);

Make sure you lay it out exactly like it appears there. None of this is your fault, string parsing with embedded quotes is never as easy as it might look. And in Groovy (with GStrings) it gets even trickier.

Hopefully, that will get you going!

Russ_Thomas · February 9, 2021, 6:19pm

ah, this is probably the GString problem. Use that last alternative with triple single quotes.
