Is there an equivalent to the “Track active item in solution” in Visual Studio for Katalon Studio so that the current tabs item is selected in the Test Explorer?

It sounds like you want KS to find your object in the Object Repository when you select it in your code. If this is correct, then I don’t think so. However, if you hold down the CTRL key and click on your object in your code, the object (the object properties, the object selector, etc.) will display in your working area. You can change anything on this page and it will take affect after you save.

Obviously, the pathway to your object within your OR is there in front of you.

findTestObject('Object Repository/AAA WebClients/ChequeNeedsInfoDepositReview/Grid/span_ChequeDate'))

Note: You cannot rename the object, nor cut and paste it to other locations, on this page. Follow the pathway of your object within the OR to do that. Always cut and paste, or rename, your objects, or folders, in the OR so that your project’s code (everywhere) changes too.

Note2: If you use CTRL + mouse click to get your object and nothing happens, then your object does not exist in your OR. This can happen if you rename (or change) your object in your code instead of the OR.

This answers most of the questions. I was really looking for a Link with the Selected Part on the Test Explorer, but unfortunately, this does not work for the Object Repository after using CTRL + click to go to definition, as it does for Test Cases and Keywords when viewing their source. I can navigate to it manually by using the path like you said, but when it’s a deep structure, it’s not ideal.
