You are using the correct WebUI method, `getAttribute()` but I suspect you are not identifying the element successfully or perhaps not identifying the `value` attribute correctly.

Your code should look something like this

```auto
// Get the VALUE attribute of the test object
String val = WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject("path-to-test-object"), "value")
println "Value is: " + val

```
