I created a list as a GlobalVariable but it could not be recognized in scripts. Could someone give me some hints?
The GlobalVariable:
The script is:
import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory.findTestData
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import org.junit.After
import com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.Checkpoint as Checkpoint
import com.kms.katalon.core.cucumber.keyword.CucumberBuiltinKeywords as CucumberKW
import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile
import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling as FailureHandling
import com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCase as TestCase
import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestData as TestData
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject as TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable
println GlobalVariable.G_userIDList[0]
The error
My KS version is:
Katalon Studio
Version: 5.10.1
Build: 1
Please find an Asterisc character * in the tab name *Global Variables.
This means you have not yet save the updates to the definition of Global Variables to disk. Katalon Studio generates Groovy source and compiles it to *.class binary when you save the definition. As you haven’t saved it, the GlobalVariable.G_userIDList is not yet visible for test cases.
Please save it, then execute your test case again.
Hi. I tried again. it still have the same error
Wrong:
println(G_userIDList[0])
Right:
println(GlobalVariable.G_userIDList[0])
this looks strange. in my script is is
println GlobalVariable.G_userIDList[0]
but in the log it is
println(G_userIDList[0]
Do you have this line in your test case script?
import internal.GlobalVariable
Yes. it was imported.
i.e.
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable
On my PC, I wrote a test case script like this:
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable
println GlobalVariable.G_userIDList[0]
I reproduced the default Execution Profile just like yours.
When I ran the test case I got the follong message in the Console:
SLF4J: The requested version 1.7.16 by your slf4j binding is not compatible with [1.6]
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#version_mismatch for further details.

No NullPointerException is raised. This script is working for me.
You seem to have something wierd, and unnoticed yet.
This is because Katalon Studio transforms a DSL source (called “Test Case”) into a plain-old Groovy Script before running it. This translation would not be the cause of your problem.
Hi kazurayam, may I ask which version of KS you are using? I am thinking if this is an issue specific to V5.10.1 build: 1?
I tried the same test using v5.10.1.
I worked fine. No NullPointerException was raised.
KS version is not likely to be the cause of your problem.
I would recommend you to do the following things.
- stop Katalon Studio
- in your project directory, remove the
bin directory
- also remove the
Libs directory
- restart Katalon Studio, open the project
- In the Window’s Tool bar, choose Project > Reflesh
- run your test case
By removing bin and Libs directory, your project is intialized and refleshed.
I tried your approach. The result kept the same.
HOWEVER, I changed the execution profile before run the test case, it works.
But I see in your case, it is default though
