Katalon File Upload with Custom Keyword

[linusaegor]

Totally new to Katalon.

I’m using a custom Keyword in Katalon to upload a file to my owncloud server.

public class WebUICustomKeyword {
	@Keyword
	def uploadFile(TestObject to, String filePath) {
		WebUI.click(to)
		StringSelection ss = new StringSelection(filePath);
		Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().setContents(ss, null);
		Robot robot = new Robot();
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_V);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_V);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
		robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
		robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
	}
}

When calling it in a for-loop just the first iteration is successful. The other stop at uploading in the explorer. (debian 9 stretch)

Surprisingly when calling the keyword twice in a row everything works fine:

CustomKeywords.'aCustom.WebUICustomKeyword.uploadFile'(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Files - ownCloud/label_Upload'), '/home/timo/Downloads/Ba_MyDigital_School.pdf')    
CustomKeywords.'aCustom.WebUICustomKeyword.uploadFile'(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Files - ownCloud/label_Upload'), '/home/timo/Downloads/Ba_MyDigital_School.pdf')

WebUI.click(findTestObject('Page_Files - ownCloud/label_New_Files'))
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_Files - ownCloud/button_Continue'))

Any ideas why?

Katalon Studio Native Popup Window and Upload File

In this article, I would like to mention the solution I found regarding uploading any local file in the test step during the test with Native Popup Window. All the objects we record with the record in the test case are the descriptions in the relevant web page. However, if you select a local file from anywhere in the project and have a step to install, the test step will be blocked in this section and you will not be able to select the file from the local and select it in the test step. For t…

Well, I just added a Thread.sleep(100) between every line in the customKeyword and now it works somehow.

Hi @linusaegor,

Take a look at AutoIt tool https://www.autoitscript.com/site/ , it can help you to upload your files using scriptin mode.

I use it always and it is perfect as tool.

I can help you if you need it, but have a look at it first.
