Extra objects being added to path

Archive

New to Katalon

When doing a record
web I find that extra objects or path(not sure what to call them) are being
added to the Test Object.

Scenario

Testing
in Chrome with Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations

My test is a basic username/password login.

I click on the login line and enter my login, click Ok, then enter my password,
click Ok again.

When I go to run the
test case it fails on entering my login, like it cant find that line.
The Script view shows the following error

Unable to click on
object (Root cause: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Object is null

I found in Script
mode its adding an extra path to the Object.

The line where I
enter my login object is called ‘input_Sign in_loginfmt’. In script mode it should look like this

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘nput_Sign in_loginfmt’))

However when
looking at script mode its showing up as:

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Object
Repository/Page_Dashboard/input_Sign in_loginfmt’))

I managed to figure
out if I remove the line “Object Repository/Page_Dashboard” the test
case runs fine.

MY QUESTION

How can I make it so
that it doesn’t add this extra path to prevent my tests from failing

Any time I create a new test case its adding a “path” and causing the test to fail on the first step.

If this helps, all my
captured objects are not in folders just in the default Object Repository.

Thank you in advance

Here’s an example of a test case I just created

The path that’s causing the issue has been highlighted in bold. Once that’s removed, the test runs without error
