Please help how can we take Screenshot using Winium+Katalon implementation.
WebUI.takeScreenshot command is for web testing framework, not for desktop applications

what does seven,eight, plus, equals represent here ?

driver.findElement(By.name('Seven')).click()

driver.findElement(By.name('Plus')).click()

driver.findElement(By.name('Eight')).click()

driver.findElement(By.name('Equals')).click()
4

I think these are identifiers of Calculator numeric pad

5

Some one know how to close the calculator aplication (or other) without on error ?

6

It is … you can use inspect.exe to know the identifier :slight_smile:

Hi,

A new question on the Winium driver usage. Just like in Selenium where we can reuse the webUI Driver in all classes, Is the same thing possible in Katalon to use the same session of driver in multiple test cases? how

Hi. has anyone tried using winium+katalon for desktop applications that has/use log-ins? how does it fare? and can the test suite be ran by jenkins also? thank you!

Hi @carlos.s.garciajr, Yes i have tried Katalon + Winium for Desktop applications
what is log-ins btw? i would be able to answer more if i get more details
Regarding test suite by jenkins, yes they can be run. But i faced a problem that when i invoked the build, instead of running each test one after another, all tests were run parallelly which later caused issue.
Let me know if u have any other Q

How to call a Object Repository’s object in script for windows application?

For web application, the script line will be like webUI…click(findTestObject(XXXXX))
For windows application, what is that we need to write instead of webUI ?

A SocketException is thrown by the Socket and Dns classes when an error occurs with the network. Most of the time these are connectivity issues due to different IP protocols (IPV4/IPV6) between the two server/computers trying to communicate or extra authentication rules setup on one of the computers for in/out connectivity. Ways to troubleshoot this SocketException are, check you have proper internet connection is there on your machine or not, and you are able to ping the remote server or not. Possible causes for the error:

  • You are using the wrong IP address.
  • You are using the wrong port.
  • Firewall blocking the connection.
