I suppose you used Katalon Studio’s Recorder tool or Spy tool to get this XPath. This XPath expression is just terrible. It does not worth looking at.

You should stop using these tools.

You should rather study XPath or CSS Selector, and write an locator manually for yourself.

For XPath, see the following article

For CSS Selector, refer to this post

Your error message says you have an id attribute that it is trying to use. Do you have more than tag and xpath checked to be used as “Detect by” or do you have the whole galaxy? Remove the check in the “Detect by” column except for the two I suggested and try again. (Actually, delete all others except for the two I suggested/)

@shri.lakshmi

Is your taget URL is open to the Internet, so that others can see on their own PC? If so, please share the URL here.

If you can not share the URL, I can not see the HTML. I can not know anything about it. So I will quit this discussion.

shri.lakshmi · December 10, 2022, 2:46pm

sorry.its not open to internet

grylion54 · December 10, 2022, 2:48pm

Since “path” is not the same as "//button[@title='Edit Reason for Change']", I think you are leaving a lot out. How about filling the puzzle in so we can follow what you are trying to do?

shri.lakshmi · December 10, 2022, 2:49pm

can i share u the screenshot of the HTML?

shri.lakshmi · December 10, 2022, 2:50pm

sure i can do that

grylion54 · December 10, 2022, 2:54pm

Okay, so your xpath looks like it should work. Again, how does the error message say one thing and your xpath another? How are you using it? Do you have the xpath in an element within the Object Repository or are you trying to create an element dynamically or…?

shri.lakshmi · December 10, 2022, 3:47pm

i have this xpath for an element in object repository and included this:

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘object repository path’),
10)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘object repository path/button_Edit Reason for Change’))

grylion54 · December 10, 2022, 4:55pm

And you say it is not working. How about trying the below?

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject('mypath/button_Edit Reason for Change'), 10)

WebUI.enhancedClick(findTestObject('mypath/button_Edit Reason for Change'))

shri.lakshmi · December 10, 2022, 4:56pm

Highlighted is the intended object trying to click

Code i have used
WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/CALARM-432/CALARM-934/Page_Additional information section/Edit_Button’),
10)

WebUI.enhancedClick(findTestObject)(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/CALARM-432/CALARM-934/Page_Additional information section/Edit_Button’))

Error i am getting:

You have an error in your statement. Fix the error I have highlighted and try again.

shri.lakshmi · December 10, 2022, 5:24pm

ohh gosh…i missed to notice the type…thank you so much…it Worked but still the error displays :

grylion54 · December 10, 2022, 5:42pm

Do you have an <iframe> tag above the HTML area you show us? If you do, you have to move to it as a step. You can see more about that on this forum if that is the case.

shri.lakshmi · December 10, 2022, 6:02pm

no iframe tag but starts with slot tag

grylion54 · December 10, 2022, 7:44pm

The only other thing that I can come with at this time is to put in a long wait to see if the above statement is not enough. Perhaps:

WebUI.waitForElementClickable(findTestObject('mypath/button_Edit Reason for Change'), 10)

//WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('mypath/button_Edit Reason for Change'), 10)

WebUI.delay(5)

If the above works, then you need to try other “wait” statements.

shri.lakshmi · December 12, 2022, 10:21pm

Thank you @grylion54 i have added login wait and it worked!Thank you

mwarren04011990 · December 25, 2022, 10:17pm

Using a hard-coded delay of the test case is a bandaid.

What is happening right before the click? What are we doing right before the click?
