How to get the number of elements，I remember selenium can use find_ elements
You can use the selenium method in KS, like.
List<WebElement> rows_table = Table.findElements(By.tagName('tr'));
numItems = rows_table.size();
or like:
List<WebElement> myList = WebUI.findWebElements(TestObject)
numItems = myList.size();
Also, if you are talking the number of Options in a drop-down list, then there is:
numItems = WebUI.getNumberOfTotalOption(findTestObject('myPage/select_ProvinceState'));
or the number of selected Options:
numItems = WebUI.getNumberOfSelectedOption(findTestObject('myPage/select_ProvinceState'))
Hi 1968693027,
You can use the Katalon class WebUiCommonHelper… Follow the code below:
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.common.WebUiCommonHelper
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement
private void sampleMethod() {
List<WebElement> elems = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(findTestObject("Your_Object"), 30)
println elems[0].getText()
println elems.text
println elems.size()
}
Hope that helps. . .

Do you know the reason for the failure
List elems = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_IO Controller WAN/Deploy/Underlay_Network/Wan_Interface/text_UnderlayWan_SDIp_Num’),30)
Test Cases/Deploy/Underlay_Network/Wan_Interface/Public/Add_And_Edit_UnderlayWan_Base_Step FAILED.
Reason:

The error message states the cause for your MultipleCompilationErrorsException; you have already initiated (declared) a variable and you are doing it again (only declare a variable once within scope). To fix this error, leave the declaration of List, or List<WebElement>, on your first statement, but remove the declaration of List, or List<WebElement>, for the variable elems on all others and do not try to redeclare the same variable as something else, like a number or String.
As an example:
List<WebElement> elems = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_IO Controller WAN/Deploy/Underlay_Network/Wan_Interface/text_UnderlayWan_SDIp_Num'),30)
...
elems = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_IO Controller WAN/Deploy/Underlay_Network/Wan_Interface/text_SevenOaks'),30)
...
elems = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_IO Controller WAN/Deploy/Underlay_Network/Wan_Interface/text_DisneyWorld'),30)
Hi 1968693027,
findWebElements will return list(Array) items and in order to use the web element methods, you should include WebElement like this:
List<WebElement> elems = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElements(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_IO Controller WAN/Deploy/Underlay_Network/Wan_Interface/text_UnderlayWan_SDIp_Num’), 30)
But if you just need to locate one specific element using selenium approach and utilize the findTestObject of katalon at the same time then you can use this approach:
WebElement elem = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_IO Controller WAN/Deploy/Underlay_Network/Wan_Interface/text_UnderlayWan_SDIp_Num’), 30)
findWebElements if you want to get many objects and store it in an array.
findWebElement if you want to locate a specific object.
Hope that helps. . .
