Hello Everyone.
I have a CSV file with various links. I want these links to be read from the CSV file and opened in the browser to perform certain steps. After that the next link should be opened and so on.
Thank for your help!
Check out the guide on using CSV files here Data-driven testing in Katalon Recorder | Katalon Docs and then check out How to implement data-driven testing in a test case with Katalon Recorder | Katalon Docs
hi,
regex all links to the list and then loop the list as datadriven doc shows
here is something how to do it
one example how to do it

Probably I have misunderstood or such a function is not provided Katalon Recorder.
This is the structure of the table:
Id: Link:
5501 http://www.xfjhkh.com/adfoe/kkjkjiuh?&5501
5502 http://www.xfjhkh.com/adfoe/kkjkjiuh?&5502
…
5724 http://www.xfjhkh.com/adfoe/kkjkjiuh?&5724
So Katalon Recordre should copy from column Link or B2 the link or also copy it as text and enter it in the address line of a browser and open the page. Here follow some test steps and the page is closed. Then the next link is read out and so on.
Possibly this function does not exist at all.
Did you find out the solution?
Hi nas
If you read the links I’ve already shared with you then you will find that Katalon Recorder does support what you’re trying to do.
The ‘open’ command supports opening links in the browser, and if you combine it with the data driven testing instructions, this will then open up those links for you.
Hello Noor Ahmed Khan
no not yet. But I am checking guy.masons’ instruction links again.
thanks

ping me on skype
I will try to help you out

Hello Timo Kuisma1,
thank you alot.
So mostly such solution suggestions take a lot of work off my hands. But I don’t really understand this approach, which is why I find it difficult. I don’t understand it because I’m not a programmer and the listing of links confuses me.
But maybe I can figure it out.
Thanks a lot anyway!

Hello,
solved. Thank you for your help!

i rejoiced too soon. The link is read from the CSV file, but the link does not open in the browser. To test this I just have the command Loadvars and open with ${Links} as value. Unfortunately without success.
If you look at the ‘Variables’ tab within Katalon Recorder, you can see what values are being stored against what variables.
If the variable for the link isn’t populated (e.g. if it’s empty), then the open command won’t work either.
