Passing testObject to another test case

One more. I’m sure I’m doing something goofy here but I can’t figure it out…

I am trying to pass a testObject from one script to another but something is not quite right…

Script 1 has:

TestObject btnCartAdd = (findTestObject(btnAdd, [('cartProductId') : cartProductId]))

I can interact with this testObject within that script without issue.

I am trying to pass that value into another test case like so…

WebUI.callTestCase(findTestCase('Common/Add to Cart (divSponsored, btnAdd, itemQty, qtyField, action, view)'), ['divSponsored': carouselSponsored, 'btnAdd': btnCartAdd, 'itemQty': newQty, 'qtyField': qtyField, 'action': action, 'view': view], FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)

The receiving test case has the following (which fails)…

WebUI.click(findTestObject(btnAdd))

Failure logged when it hits that click event…

groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject() is applicable for argument types: (com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject) values: [TestObject - 'Object Repository/Card Template/RETAILER/btnCartAdd']

Is there some trick to passing in the object defined as a TestObject from one test case to another? :thinking:

Thanks!

In your second test case, instead of:

WebUI.click(findTestObject(btnAdd))

do:

WebUI.click(btnAdd)

The findTestObject() method is for looking in your repository for an object based on some id. In your case, btnAdd has already been found, so no need to use findTestObject().

dangit! I was hoping that wouldn’t be the answer. lol… Naturally I’m sharing that script with a number of other scripts but it probably makes more sense to not define what it is there. Thanks!
