Test Case Variable is visually not accepted

Product Forums Katalon Studio

I added a new Test Case Variable named testOnly when I go to the Script tab of my Test Case I see it underlined which usually means its something missing or not accepted, only visually.

When I tried to run my Test Case it can actually use the TC Variable without any issue.

Not a bug.

Variables defined in the variable tab are ‘known’ by the testcase script only at the runtime, via binding mechanism

i think this is how it works under the hood:

Correct. Like @anon46315158 said, that’s just how it works. Annoying? Yes. Fixable? I think not :confused:

(Moving out of bug reports).

Moving out of bug reports

Sure! Sorry not sure what basket to put it in.

Annoying? Yes. Fixable? I think not :confused:

Yeah something we can live with. Was hoping for an improvement on this in the future.

Thanks for the quick replies @Russ_Thomas & @anon46315158

not sure if this can be fixed easily.
hard to train eclipse engine to learn something generated ‘on-the-fly’ without affecting the main-app performance.
I don’t think it has been designed with groovy script features in mind.

That’s precisely the point. The underlining is a “hint” at what might go wrong when the code is compiled in Java. Groovy supports dynamic typing (and late binding etc) which the compiler and eclipse assist technology isn’t aware of.

I think we’re all done here… closing.
