After a rerun of test scripts, the element on the tspan reflects unable to find the element. I’ve tried to change the attributes and limit it only into XPath but it was also unable to find the element. I am trying to verify the text inside this half pie graph, ![piegraph](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/d/8/d8f270a525af93978eec9d3ceb0b5f09337deefc.png) While the locators is I have is Xpath: //\*[@id=“temp\_humid”]/svg/text[2]/tspan Here’s my object screencap: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/7/0/702302f3d8e888c3cb68d08bd9b2b95cec01ad3c.png) While heres the error reflected: =============== ROOT CAUSE ===================== # For trouble shooting, please visit: [https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/troubleshooting.html](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/troubleshooting.html) 05-15-2022 06:07:00 PM verifyElementText(findTestObject(“Admin/WP-0040 Container Information Sensors Relative Humidity on Sensor information module/Page\_Container Information/tspan\_98.0”), WP040RelativeHumidity) Elapsed time: 33.187s com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.WebElementNotFoundException: Web element with id: ‘Object Repository/Admin/WP-0040 Container Information Sensors Relative Humidity on Sensor information module/Page\_Container Information/tspan\_98.0’ located by ‘id(“temp\_humid”)/svg[1]/text[2]/tspan[1]’ not found (Root cause: com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.WebElementNotFoundException: Web element with id: ‘Object Repository/Admin/WP-0040 Container Information Sensors Relative Humidity on Sensor information module/Page\_Container Information/tspan\_98.0’ located by ‘id(“temp\_humid”)/svg[1]/text[2]/tspan[1]’ not found at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIKeywordMain.stepFailed(WebUIKeywordMain.groovy:64) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.builtin.VerifyElementTextKeyword$\_verifyElementText\_closure1.doCall(VerifyElementTextKeyword.groovy:64) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.builtin.VerifyElementTextKeyword$\_verifyElementText\_closure1.call(VerifyElementTextKeyword.groovy) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.internal.WebUIKeywordMain.runKeyword(WebUIKeywordMain.groovy:20) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.builtin.VerifyElementTextKeyword.verifyElementText(VerifyElementTextKeyword.groovy:72) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.builtin.VerifyElementTextKeyword.execute(VerifyElementTextKeyword.groovy:40) at com.kms.katalon.core.keyword.internal.KeywordExecutor.executeKeywordForPlatform(KeywordExecutor.groovy:74) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords.verifyElementText(WebUiBuiltInKeywords.groovy:4749) at com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords$verifyElementText$4.call(Unknown Source) at WP-0040 Container Information Sensors Relative Humidity on Sensor information module.run(WP-0040 Container Information Sensors Relative Humidity on Sensor information module:56) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.ScriptEngine.run(ScriptEngine.java:194) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.ScriptEngine.runScriptAsRawText(ScriptEngine.java:119) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseExecutor.runScript(TestCaseExecutor.java:445) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseExecutor.doExecute(TestCaseExecutor.java:436) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseExecutor.processExecutionPhase(TestCaseExecutor.java:415) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseExecutor.accessMainPhase(TestCaseExecutor.java:407) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseExecutor.execute(TestCaseExecutor.java:284) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseMain.runTestCase(TestCaseMain.java:142) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseMain.runTestCase(TestCaseMain.java:133) at com.kms.katalon.core.main.TestCaseMain$runTestCase$0.call(Unknown Source) at TempTestCase1652609162745.run(TempTestCase1652609162745.groovy:25) ) Is there anyone familiar with this issue?

SVG has its own XML Namespace. You need to understand it so that you write an XPath which is XML Namespace aware. > [@Cannot locate svg elements (web development using vue.js)](http://forum.katalon.com/t/cannot-locate-svg-elements-web-development-using-vue-js/48967/10): > > Here is an example project in which a xpath selector can successfully locate a \ element generated by Highcharts.

I’ve reviewed the discussion above but, still doesn’t find the element on SVG. I’ve tried to part of the internal elements inside my object, but Katalon only recognize the following objects: //div[@ class=“row temp-gauge\_chart\_100”]//div[@id=“temp\_humid”] I am trying to find tspan data equivalent 85%. Heres the snapshot of the elements inside: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/f/4/f4258a4b5c98019533c7a2328013cd3114da732a.png) I am trying this xpath to my Katalon but doesn’t work: //div[@ class=“row temp-gauge\_chart\_100”]//div[@id=“temp\_humid”]/_[namespace-uri() = “[SVG namespace](http://www.w3.org/2000/svg)” and local-name()=“svg”]/_[local-name()=“text”][1]/_[local-name()=“text”][1]/_[local-name()=“tspan”][1] Even the uri is removed. Can you help me find whats wrong with my object @kazurayam ? Thank you appreciate it a lot. ---

The code works fine also on my end. And the Xpath is targeted the exact object I’m looking. Thank you. Apologies for this such a naïve question, but when I’m creating the xpath manually on object repository the Xpath indicated was unable to find. Can you show me the steps on xpath creation on object repository on how to plot up the: //div[@id=“temp\_humid”]/_[local-name()=“svg”]/_[local-name()=“text”][2]/\*[local-name()=“tspan”] , i think there was a missing on my process on xpath manual creation. My steps are: 1. On Object Repository \> Create new test object 2. Name the object 3. Select Xpath (radbutton) 4. Paste this on the selected locator textbox: //div[@id=“temp\_humid”]/_[local-name()=“svg”]/_[local-name()=“text”][2]/\*[local-name()=“tspan”] I hope you can help, what process I am missing ☹ ---

What I am trying to do is to Verify and Highlight the element using the object spy by the Xpath you’ve given, but Katalon says it was unable to find the object. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/1/f/1f2f016a9cfb361dd7d56ef692437d5e67762caa.png) ---

Is the SVG file only applicable for hard coded declaration of Xpath? Does Katalon not support the element with SVG on Object Repository? ---

I am not a Katalon technical at all. I am just a user. I see you are using Object Spy tool. You expect Object Spy to capture an SVG element and generate an XPath expression which can appropriately select the element. I guess (and I think it is quite likely), Object Spy tool is NOT able to capture an SVG element at all. I guess, Object Spy is NOT XML Namespace aware. I guess, Object Spy can not find any element with it’s unique XML Namespace other than HTML4/5 or XHTML. In other words, if you want to deal with SVG elements, you should not expect Spy and Web Recorder tools to help you much. You should be able to write XPath expressions without help by these tools. * * * The Object Spy is a GUI tool to generate locators in a storage named Object Repository by point & click operation with mouse. You do not necessarily need Object Spy to create/edit a Test Object. Once you have made an entry (which is called as Test Object) in the Object Repository, you can edit Test Object manually to give any locator string. When you manually edit a Test Object, you can write any expression as you want. ![スクリーンショット 2022-05-17 14.37.38](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/3X/e/4/e432a4100eb65a4ace7501ce8557b1ba327e72e0.png) ---
