Hello,

I am running following code and getting compilation error for the lines where I am parsing String to Int.  
List ShiftGrid\_Rows= DriverFactory.webDriver.findElements(By.xpath(’//tbody/tr’))  
for (WebElement ShiftGridRow:ShiftGrid\_Rows)  
{  
String Guest\_to\_Shift\_Ratio= ShiftGridRow.findElement(By.xpath(’/td[2]’)).getText();  
Int Guest\_Ratio= Integer.parseInt(Guest\_to\_Shift\_Ratio)  
println ('Guest to shift Ratio is: '+Guest\_to\_Shift\_Ratio)

```
		String Guest_Count= WebUI.getText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Locators/Events/Shift Grid Panel/Guest_Count_Total'))
		Int Guest_Count_Int= Integer.parseInt(Guest_Count)
		println ('Guest Count is: '+Guest_Count)
		 
		Int Expected_Projected_Shifts= Guest_Ratio/Guest_Count_Int
		
		Mod= Guest_to_Shift_Ratio%Guest_Count
		
		if (Mod!=0) {
			Expected_Projected_Shifts= Expected_Projected_Shifts+1
		}
		else {
			Expected_Projected_Shifts= Expected_Projected_Shifts
		}
		
		String Actual_Projected_Shifts = ShiftGridRow.findElement(By.xpath('/td[3]')).getText()
		Int Projected_Shifts= Integer.parseInt(Actual_Projected_Shifts)
	
		//WebUI.verifyEqual(Actual_Projected_Shifts, Expected_Projected_Shifts)
		Assert.assertEquals(Projected_Shifts, Expected_Projected_Shifts);
	}

```

Because I have to some math operations, I need to convert Guest\_to\_Shift\_Ratio and Guest\_Count in Integers. But I get the following Compilation error.

Use the Groovy method: .toInteger();

This is my code which is converting string to integer successfully.

def Guest\_Count = WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Locators/Events/Shift Grid Panel/Guest\_Count\_Total’),

```
        'value')

    def Guest\_Count\_int = Guest_Count.toInteger()

    WebUI.println('Guest Count is: ' + Guest_Count)

    WebUI.comment('Verify that projected shifts are equal to as expected. Get the total number of rows in shift grid and calculate the projected shifts and verify with actual projected shifts ')

    for (def index = 1; index <= Number\_of\_Rows; index++) {

        def Guest\_to\_Shift_Ratio = DriverFactory.webDriver.findElement(By.xpath(('//table\[@class=\\'k-selectable\\'\]/tbody/tr\[' + 

                index) + '\]/td\[2\]')).getText()

        if (Guest\_to\_Shift_Ratio == 'complex') {

            WebUI.println('Guest to shift ratio is: ' + Guest\_to\_Shift_Ratio)

            continue

        }

        def Guest\_Ratio = Guest\_to\_Shift\_Ratio.toInteger()

        WebUI.println('Guest to shift Ratio is: ' + Guest_Ratio)

        Expected\_Projected\_Shifts = Guest\_Count\_int.intdiv(Guest_Ratio)
```

Try with importing this package  
import java.lang.Integer as Integer

You may see strike line on ‘tointeger()’ method which is totally fine. Or if it still doesn’t work, can you post what error are you getting?

Hi Bhawna,

I am getting below error while converting string to int:

scaCostInt = scaCosts.toInteger() FAILED.  
Reason:  
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: “2913013.00”

I already added “import java.lang.Integer as Integer” package.

It would be great if you can help me out on this.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

your input string is not Integer, but number with floating point (Float / Double).

> String s = “2913013.00”  
> Double d = Double.parseDouble(s)

You should work with this data type instead of int.

Thank you very much Marek. It solved my main problem.

But Settext statement is not able to enter this Double value into the desired text box. Neither giving any error nor its entering any value to the corresponding field.  
Though I have done some workaround for this, I mean writing that value into my test data sheet(excel), doing needed calculation there and writing back from that excel sheet to the text field. But I think there must be a easy way to entering such types of values.

Thanks and Regards  
Anil

WebUI.setText method expects string value, so you get an error. You can convert your double value to string using toString() method.

```
Double finalResult = // your calculation here
WebUI.setText(testObject, finalResult.toString())
```

Thank you so much Marek for the prompt reply.

But this conversion (double value to string) not working properly for decimal values as the “.” is removed which makes incorrect value entered into the text field. My final value is $323,344,4.43 but after conversion i am getting $323,344,443

Hi Everyone,

My above problem with decimal values is due to the restrictions on the text field in my app, for entering “.” which I came to know later. It was not related to Katalon Studio.

I am really sorry to bother you.

Anil

HI,

Im new to Katalon.

I have similar issue as above.  
My test steps is as:

1. Get text “Bank Fee”
2. Convert String to number
3. Get text “offline Bank Fee”
4. Convert String to number.
5. Get sum of New\_BankFee = “Bank Fee” + “Offline Bank Fee”

//Get Bank Fee  
WebUI.scrollToElement(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/\_Listing/td\_Total\_BankFee’), 2)

String Total\_BankFee = WebUI.getText(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/\_Listing/td\_Total\_BankFee’), FailureHandling.STOP\_ON\_FAILURE)

def x = Double.parseDouble(Total\_BankFee)

WebUI.printIn(‘Total Bank Fee is:’ + Total\_BankFee)

//‘0 = Offline Bank Fee’  
WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/filter\_PaymentType’), 2)

WebUI.selectOptionByValue(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/filter\_PaymentType’), ‘0’, true)

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/btn\_Apply’), 2)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/btn\_Apply’), FailureHandling.STOP\_ON\_FAILURE)

WebUI.delay(3)

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/\_Listing/td\_TotalAmount’), 2)

//String s = Total\_OfflineBankFee  
String Total\_OfflineBankFee = WebUI.getText(findTestObject(‘Ob\_Bank Transaction Log/Browse/\_Listing/td\_TotalAmount’), FailureHandling.STOP\_ON\_FAILURE)

def y = Double.parseDouble(Total\_OfflineBankFee)

WebUI.printIn(‘Total Offline Bank Fee is:’ + Total\_offlineBankFee)

I got this error:

I think the presence of the `,` in the string makes it invalid to be a Double.
