Unable to get parametarize object in keyword

Brylesu · February 1, 2022, 10:50am

Good Day,

I’m new in automation and I’m working on a keyword for Dropdown, I’m not sure how can I script the parametrize object to the keyword.

Here’s my script

CustomKeywords.'reusableComponents.VerifyValue_Dropdown.verifyDropdownValue'(findTestObject('ordersPage/ddlAccessionStatus'), 
          ['Billing Review', 'Unpriceable', 'Unbillable', 'Priced', 'Priced With Errors', 'Posting', 'Zero Balance', 'Credit Balance'])

Object
//div[@role='listbox']/div/div/div[contains(text(),'${accessionstatus}')]

Keyword

public class VerifyValue_Dropdown {

	@Keyword
	def verifyDropdownValue(TestObject to, List<String> listOfOptions) {

		for (int cnt = 0; cnt < listOfOptions.size(); cnt++) {
			WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('to', [('accessionstatus') : listOfOptions.get(cnt)]), 5)
		}
	}
}

FE Dropdown

HTML

Example will be appreciated!

Have you tried to run your code? Any error?

kazurayam · February 1, 2022, 11:49am

wrong:

WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('to', [

right:

WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject(to, [

There must be something wrong in your code, but I do not see what from the code and message you presented.

kazurayam · February 1, 2022, 12:12pm

2022-02-01 18:38:43.014 WARN c.k.k.core.testobject.ObjectRepository - Test object with id ‘Object Repository/to’ does not exist

this is your primary issue to fix.

I would suggest you to slightly modify your script.

import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.testobject.TestObject;

TestObject tObj = findTestObject('ordersPage/ddlAccessionStatus')   // [A]

CustomKeywords.'reusableComponents.VerifyValue_Dropdown.verifyDropdownValue'(
    tObj,
    ['Billing Review', 'Unpriceable', 'Unbillable', 'Priced', 'Priced With Errors', 'Posting', 'Zero Balance', 'Credit Balance']   // [B]
)

Possbily this script will fail again.

Check at which point an error occurs. At [A] ? or at [B] ?

If the error occured at the [A], then you should look at the Object Repository to ensure you created a Test Object and your script is refering to it with appropriate name.

If the error occured at the [B], then your keyword would be in doubt.

Brylesu · February 1, 2022, 12:12pm

I’m not sure if it is the object, as there a dynamic contain text on it.

Object
//div[@role='listbox']/div/div/div[contains(text(),'${accessionstatus}')]

And this part I don’t know how to script in Keywords
WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject(to [('accessionstatus') : listOfOptions.get(cnt)]), 5)

kazurayam · February 1, 2022, 12:15pm

Wow, how come you forget a comma , between to and [ !

WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject(to , [('accessionstatus') : listOfOptions.get(cnt)]), 5)

Brylesu · February 1, 2022, 12:17pm

My bad, but it seems it is not also working

kazurayam · February 1, 2022, 12:18pm

You should explain with more information.

Brylesu · February 1, 2022, 12:27pm

Currently I have a working script ‘per’ object dropdown

Here's the script:

	@Keyword
	def verifyAccessionStatusContent() {
		List<String> status = [
			"Billing Review",
			"Unpriceable",
			"Unbillable",
			"Priced",
			"Priced With Errors",
			"Posting",
			"Zero Balance",
			"Credit Balance"
		]

		WebUI.click(findTestObject('ordersPage/drpAccessionStatus'))
		for (int cnt = 0; cnt < status.size(); cnt++) {
			WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('ordersPage/ddlAccessionStatus', [('accessionstatus') : status.get(cnt)]), 5)
		}
	}

Now my goal is to create a keyword that whenever I put a dynamic dropdown it should identify the expected values (given by user) and verify the actual values in the dropdown like this:
//div[@role='listbox']/div/div/div[contains(text(),'${accessionstatus}')]

Given by user
['Billing Review', 'Unpriceable', 'Unbillable', 'Priced', 'Priced With Errors', 'Posting', 'Zero Balance', 'Credit Balance'])

In my Keyword this part [(‘accessionstatus’) , is also in the object. So I don’t know how to script it

Object
//div[@role='listbox']/div/div/div[contains(text(),'${accessionstatus}')]

And I already put the comma but the script is not recognizing as it has different color

kazurayam · February 1, 2022, 12:36pm

Very difficult to follow your intention without a running codeset in hand.

Is the URL of your target web application public on Internet?

If so, you should be able to create a subset of your current project, which includes the test case, test object and keyword in question. Please create it, zip it, and share it here.

Brylesu · February 1, 2022, 12:39pm

Currently I’m not able to share as Im doing it in local and private network

but this is the related topic for this that I made previous days ago,

Basically I already made a working script with the help of grylion, and this is per Object
So whenever I will test an object which is a dropdown I need to write a script like this:

And my goal now is to create a keyword that when I put any dynamic dropdown it validates the values given by the user base on the array.

kazurayam · February 1, 2022, 12:39pm

I can not help you much.

And my goal now is to create a keyword that when I put any dynamic dropdown it validates the values given by the user base on the array.

Good luck.

It’s ok thanks for your help and effort!
