Go into an if statement if an element is visible on the website

Hello,

I would like to go into an if statement if an element is visible on the website and otherwise skip over the statement and continue. Using the Login test case from the web sample code from Katalon Studio itself, I made this:

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 com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.Checkpoint as Checkpoint
import com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory as CheckpointFactory
import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as MobileBuiltInKeywords
import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling as FailureHandling
import com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCase as TestCase
import com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory as TestCaseFactory
import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestData as TestData
import com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory as TestDataFactory
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository as ObjectRepository
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject as TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WSBuiltInKeywords
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUiBuiltInKeywords
import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import com.kms.katalon.core.mobile.keyword.MobileBuiltInKeywords as Mobile
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS

WebUI.openBrowser('')

WebUI.navigateToUrl('http://demoaut.katalon.com')

if(WebUI.verifyElementVisible(findTestObject('Page_CuraAppointment/div_Appointment'))){
	
	WebUI.click(findTestObject('Page_CuraHomepage/btn_MakeAppointment'))
	
	WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Page_Login/txt_UserName'), Username)
	
	WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Page_Login/txt_Password'), Password)
	
	WebUI.click(findTestObject('Page_Login/btn_Login'))
	
	landingPage = WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('Page_CuraAppointment/div_Appointment'), GlobalVariable.G_Timeout)
} else{
	System.out.println('didnt work')
}

WebUI.closeBrowser()

All the imports are because of all the playing around with it.

If I execute this test, the test case fails because it could not find ‘Page_CuraAppointment/div_Appointment’ in the if statement.

Shouldn’t the test then just skip over it and go the else statement?

The verifyElementVisible() method acts as an assertion, which means that if the element in question isn’t visible, it’s considered a failure, the test stops, and the boolean value returned by the method doesn’t even get evaluated by the if statement.

You can have the test continue by utilizing the version of the verifyElementVisible() method that accepts a FailureHandling argument:

if(WebUI.verifyElementVisible(findTestObject('Page_CuraAppointment/div_Appointment'), FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE))
