For loop is executed even though if condition is not satisfied

ramprasad23 · January 18, 2022, 7:55am

For loop is getting executed (it doesn’t actually execute it just passes the statements in console which increases the execution time of the pgm) eventhough the if condition is not satisfied. In the below conditions the vv value is greater than 1. but as u can see the for loop is executed

kazurayam · January 18, 2022, 8:58am

You should rather say

In the below conditions the vv value is greater than 1. ~~but~~ therefore as u can see the for loop is executed

ramprasad23 · January 18, 2022, 9:41am

Can i know the solution for this prblm

kazurayam · January 18, 2022, 11:46am

I don’t understand what your problem is.

grylion54 · January 18, 2022, 6:14pm

Perhaps we don’t understand your concern. You say that “vv value is greater than 1”. So that means that vv definitely does not equal 0 (zero), if (vv != 0), which means your condition is true. So, of course it should pass. Also, since vv is greater than 1, your for loop should also execute.

Or was there something else you were trying to do?

ramprasad23 · January 20, 2022, 5:26am

@grylion54 @kazurayam

Yes the if condition is true.
The vv value is 1
so the for loop will be (i=1;i<=1;i++)
{
WebUtil.robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN)
}
So now when this exceutes it should only exceute 1 time ryt.
But it excutes more than 1 time

ramprasad23 · January 20, 2022, 5:58am

Here is the execution
Why is the down send keys is executing this much times. As you can see the vv value is 1. But the for loop gets executed more than 1 time.

This is the Actual script

def vv = testCaseData.classes_taught_list_num
print(‘value of vv is : ‘+vv+’ -’)

			if(vv!=0)

kazurayam · January 20, 2022, 9:35am

I’m just puzzled.

In the original post you attached the following.

Here I found a puzzling line

for ([i = 1, i <= vv, (i++)])

I do not understand this. This is not a valid Groovy code.

@ramprasad23

Are you using the “Manual mode”? or “Script mode”? or both?

I have a doubt, this could be a bug of “Manual mode” editor.

Could you please take 2 screenshots of

how the for statement looks in the Manual mode.
how the for statement looks in the Script mode.

ramprasad23 · January 20, 2022, 9:39am

@kazurayam i use script mode only

ramprasad23 · January 20, 2022, 9:48am

@kazurayam Here is what i more confused
As you can see the if condition is false. Even though the for loop is executed in console.
Am i doing wrong i am just beginner pls help me out here

kazurayam · January 20, 2022, 9:55am

I don’t think I am able to help you. Totally mysterious.

kazurayam · January 20, 2022, 10:00am

Please try some house-cleaning.

make a full backup of your project just in case
stop katalon studio
remove the following 3 directories

<projectdir>/bin
<projectdir>/Libs
<projectdir>/.cache

restart KS, reopen the project, and try runningi

You may want to

remove the current Katalon Studio installation from you disk
re-install Katalon Studio
and try

ramprasad23 · January 20, 2022, 10:11am

@kazurayam We have 4 other systems and all those system also face this issue

kazurayam · January 20, 2022, 11:11am

I guess you fed Gremlins after midnight, so you got problems.

anon46315158 · January 20, 2022, 11:34am

@ramprasad23
perhaps you may have to look a bit more carefully in your code, e.g:

for (int i = 0, i !=vv, i++))

how it is supposed the for loop to end?
for your use case, perhaps a while loop is more suitable, see:
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/groovy/groovy_while_statement.htm

ramprasad23 · January 20, 2022, 11:44am

@anon46315158
As in the screen shot i used != for the if statement but it still executes the code even if the if condition is false

grylion54 · January 20, 2022, 4:12pm

I would say you might have a concern outside of the area that you are showing us. Can you single click on each curly bracket of { and then see where Eclipse places its partner bracket? (Is that the Open Face curly bracket? Anyway, check if your brackets partner correctly.)

Lastly, you should also have a “robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_DOWN)” after the “keyPress”…

ramprasad23 · January 24, 2022, 10:03am

@grylion54 checked the bracket to i believe they are correctly placed

The if statement is executed on the console even if the condition is false.

grylion54 · January 24, 2022, 3:43pm

This may sound stupid, but delete the if line and retype it. Another option, copy your code and paste it into NotePad++ and look for any non-printable text. Code does not do something like you’re stating unless there is a reason. (Otherwise, all your if condition statements should be doing the same thing.)
