I cannot get Katalon to click on an object that was found during record. So I started with record web, I went through the steps for creating an order. One of the options is to click a plus icon to get fields to fill out the new order. This plus icon will not get clicked when I run the test. It keeps telling me it’s unable to click the object because it’s not found.   I tried using object spy again, I’ve tried changing properties on object. I have use the dom map and verify and the object is verified in object spy. I have added a wait for element visible I have tried wait for element present. This step fails, for whatever reason I cannot click this. I have also tried using a picture to click on and that does not work either.     here are my errors: 07-20-2017 09:32:19 AM - [WARNING] - Object ‘Object Repository/Page\_Dashboard/New order/button\_create new order’ is not present after 10 second(s) 07-20-2017 09:32:19 AM - [END] - End action : waitForElementPresent         07-20-2017 09:32:19 AM - [INFO] - Finding web element with id: ‘Object Repository/Page\_Dashboard/New Load/button\_create new order’ located by ‘By.xpath: //button[count(. | /html[@class=“”]/body[@class=“nav-sm”]/div[@class=“container body”]/div[@class=“main\_container”]/div[@class=“right\_col”]/div[1]/div[@class=“row”]/div[@class=“col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12”]/div[@class=“x\_panel tile load\_panel”]/div[@class=“x\_title”]/button[@class=“pull-right btn btn-default”]) = count(/html[@class=“”]/body[@class=“nav-sm”]/div[@class=“container body”]/div[@class=“main\_container”]/div[@class=“right\_col”]/div[1]/div[@class=“row”]/div[@class=“col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12”]/div[@class=“x\_panel tile load\_panel”]/div[@class=“x\_title”]/button[@class=“pull-right btn btn-default”])]’ in ‘30’ second(s) 07-20-2017 09:32:50 AM - [FAILED] - Unable to click on object ‘Object Repository/Page\_Dashboard/New Order/button\_create new order’ (Root cause: com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.WebElementNotFoundException: Web element with id: ‘Object Repository/Page\_Dashboard/New Order/button\_create new order’ located by ‘By.xpath: //button[count(. | /html[@class=“”]/body[@class=“nav-sm”]/div[@class=“container body”]/div[@class=“main\_container”]/div[@class=“right\_col”]/div[1]/div[@class=“row”]/div[@class=“col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12”]/div[@class=“x\_panel tile load\_panel”]/div[@class=“x\_title”]/button[@class=“pull-right btn btn-default”]) = count(/html[@class=“”]/body[@class=“nav-sm”]/div[@class=“container body”]/div[@class=“main\_container”]/div[@class=“right\_col”]/div[1]/div[@class=“row”]/div[@class=“col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12”]/div[@class=“x\_panel tile load\_panel”]/div[@class=“x\_title”]/button[@class=“pull-right btn btn-default”])]’ not found) 07-20-2017 09:32:50 AM - [END] - End action : click ---

I was not using image correctly. When I select use image I need to use click image and wait for image. No idea why I can’t have it see the object though. If anyone does, I would like to understand. I do have it working now with click image. ---

Sorry for delay I find that sometimes the elements on the page cover each other. I would suggest WebUI.maximizeWindow() at the beginning of your test. I don’t know if this will fix this issue but worth trying.
