You need to switch into the iframe.  
See [https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/[WebUI]+Switch+To+Frame](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/%5BWebUI%5D+Switch+To+Frame)  
I am afraid that your test case does not call WebUI.switchToFrame(…) , does it?

It was doing as a part of parent object in xpath ,but still I wrote a code like below,even after switching ,its unable to set text,trust I did this so many times in so many websites but this is not working ☹ Its really strange when I execute the code in katalon recorder chrome plugin test case executes fine but after I export as katalon script its failing

I guess the root cause why katalon unable to find text box is mentioned in this thread

Katalon document ‘[Manage Test Object](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Manage+Test+Object)’, section titled ‘Manage Parent Object’ shows an example how to tell a Test Object to switch context into parent iframe.

Tarun,

I noticed, in the screenshot you attached, that your Test Object ‘Object Repository/Page\_Create Your Account/input\_First Name\_firstname’ does **not** have Parent iframe specified.

Why not you try specifying Parent iframe for the Test Object?

The script you attached on 14/Sep has the following line:

```auto
WebUI.switchToFrame(findTestObject( 'Page_Create Your Wizards Account/iframe_concat(id( wotcAccount' ), 5)

```

Your test object seems to be named as

```auto
'Page_Create Your Wizards Account/iframe_concat(id( wotcAccount'

```

To me, this string looks odd. Are you sure your test object is actually named as such?

tried after removing spaces,but seems this new katalom tool has issues with switch frame,switch frame was working fine before but that even failing now,why katalon saying “Unable to verify image” when I am just switching to iframe,I guess I amloosing the hope of implementing katalon in my project ☹ tried really day and night ,almost didn’t slept overnight

```

These messages indicates that the selector (xpath?) defined in the Test Object ‘Object Repository/Page\_Create Your Wizards Account/iframe\_concat(id(wotcAccount’ is wrong.

Pls show us the selector of the test object, and HTML fragment around
