Test Objects Refactoring


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/test-objects-refactoring.html

@Katalon_team team , This is a very handy feature.

Also there should be a way to find duplicate object repo - based on Key/ Value across the project.

The documentation reads as below:

Remove all unused objects: Click Delete all and confirm your action. Be cautious since there is no chance to restore the removed objects in Katalon Studio. You can back up those unused objects by exporting to a CSV file in case you would like to have them back.

@Katalon_team team I have doubt here. What do you mean by back up?

back up those unused objects by exporting to a CSV

I think it’s mean exporting objects info as csv for back up.If you want to recover these objects you can do so through this CSV

@wei_yang I don’t see recover or restore option. Do you mind sharing the screenshot of recover option in Katalon.

Note: The CSV file has only two columns. I guess it’s not possible to recover with these columns alone. I might be wrong.

We are working on rebuilding our website UI before Black Friday and I was hoping to use the existing project built for existing site to make it work with the new one. This feature is surely going to help me in keeping OR clean. Awesome work Katalon team.

Hi @discover.selenium and @wei_yang

Thank you for your feedback! I will modify this document asap. I suggest that you back up unused objects by using Katashare which allows you to export those unused test objects and import them just in case you want to reuse those ones while exporting to CSV files is helpful for you to review those unused objects.

Thanks for using Katalon Studio.

Cheers

Hello,
there is no option in right click menu to delete selected lines ?

it is quite hard to use when we have a lot of lines to delete and we want to delete several lines but not all of them :

Is there a way to “merge” test objects ?
