Reg.: v11 not capturing objects/xpath correctly

[anandkumar.venkatara]

Hi Experts

Anyone reccently upgaded to v11 and facing any/all of the foll. issues -

1. Not capturing the objects correctly; i.e., incorrect xpath
2. Not capturing the objects at all when recording
3. When you begin the day & launch Katalon, it automatically closes after say some 5min.?

Any help/suggestions, pls. let me know

If there are say 15-20 objects in a given page and it didn’t record correctly & if I have to manually change each & everything, then I can as well do it in Selenium for free right ?

V11 is really frustrating, jus checking if anyone else also facing these

Kindly let me know

Based on my experience, it appears that there are genuine issues in version 11.0.0, as many other users have also reported similar difficulties. Some of those issues are listed below.

Uploading a file with the "type" command started getting an error

I’m using the Chrome Extension “Katalon Recorder 7.1.0” and my test suite recently started getting an error message, where no error had occurred before. I’m not sure exactly when the change began happening, but it started occurring in the last few months. The test step which is failing is the step where it uploads a file to the web site. command: type target: //input[@type=‘file’] value: ${fileName} The variable “fileName” is derived from a test data CSV, it is a string of the full…

• Not capturing the objects correctly; i.e., incorrect xpath

Can you give us specific steps to reproduce this issue taking a public URL as example; such as http://demoaut.katalon.com/ ? Which HTML element did you try to capture? Please describe what xpath you were expecting, what xpath the tool actually gave you. Without such specific information as clue, it is difficult to understand your findings.

Which version of Katalon Studio are you using? v11.0.0 or v11.0.1?

2)xpath/outer html
3)Any logs which would help to understand the issue?

Yes, it seems that others are also facing similar issues in v11, like incorrect or missing XPath, the recorder not capturing steps properly, and occasional crashes.

It doesn’t appear to be just your setup. Also, if most things need to be fixed manually, then using Selenium might be a better option since it offers more control and is free.
