Looks like you have incorrect Xpath.

'//li[@listitem lazyload-item   ']//h2'

Please doublecheck it.

#5

Looks like you have incorrect XPath

You are right, but it is because the software of the Katalon Forum has a problem dealing with @ characters in the comment text. Any comment with @ is garbled. Especially XPath expression tends to be rewritten wrong by the forum. It’s a shame.

sudam,

I could find your real xpath in the screenshot you attached. OK. I would suggest to you to use XPath contains() function.

Wrong was with my XPath. it is not recognized the given XPath. but it recognized from webdriver. :frowning:
