Hi @quy.nguyen1,

Welcome to our community. Please read the code example here: [Mobile] Get Text | Katalon Docs and get your locator correctly so that it can get the text. If not working, please help sharing the locator and app. Thank you

Hi Elly, I have the same provlem.
I set get attribute value of content-desc but it alway give null value.

Script I use: area = MobileBuiltInKeyword.getAttribute(findTestObject(‘direct to object’),‘content-desc’,2,FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)

Appium 2.5.4

I’ve had to use this attribute in the past: contentDescription… like:
def WorkOrder = Mobile.getAttribute(findTestObject('WorkOrdersList/txtWokOrder'), 'contentDescription', 15)

Maybe you are working with an flutter app
to get the value of content-desc you need to use contentDescription
try:

Mobile.getAttribute(findTestObject(''), 'contentDescription', 5)
