Many thanks in advance,

In my experience this means that the path “Page_CURA Healthcare Service/a_Make Appointment” in findTestObject(“Page_CURA Healthcare Service/a_Make Appointment”) is incorrect, hence, the object is not found in the Object Repository.

I guess you have this code:

WebUI.openBrowser('https://katalon-demo-cura.herokuapp.com/')
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Page_CURA Healthcare Service/a_Make Appointment'))

Please change this a bit as follows and try again:

WebUI.openBrowser('https://katalon-demo-cura.herokuapp.com/')
WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('Page_CURA Healthcare Service/a_Make Appointment'), 10)
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Page_CURA Healthcare Service/a_Make Appointment'))

Hi @kazurayam
Thanks for the reply
tried your suggestion…didn’t work either
My question is, how do I see where the object “Page_CURA Healthcare Service/a_Make Appointment” is detailed on the webpage, all I see is this regarding the button…

…or should the test be trying to reference “btn-make-appointment” in some way?
i.e.
WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘btn-make-appointment’)) …{which I’ve just tried and doesn’t work either!}

Thanks for the reply @Harold_Owen
How do I view what is in the website/web page’s Object Repository?
Looking at the page in the developer view in Google, this is what I see regarding the button…

strangle that Katalon’s own first test case example in their intro tutorial doesn’t work on their test website/page!?

Hello , i tried to reproduce your error.
It seems that your code is correct but you dont have the object added in the object repository: a_Make Appointment . the object should be in page called : Page_CURA Healthcare Service (this should be a folder name in object repository section within katalon studio project).
Try to create new folder in object repository called: Page_CURA Healthcare Service . Once created, right-click and create new Test object. Call the object: a_Make Appointment . Inside the object
click on xpath selection method radiobutton and paste this xpath: //*[@id=“btn-make-appointment”] .
Then try to run your test again

This screenshot shows how the “Page_CURA Healthcare Service/a_Make Appointment” Test Object looks like in the sample project on my mac. Do you have a similar Test Object on your side?
