Verifytextpresent action

phanikumar.gk · February 20, 2019, 7:17pm

I have a situation -

Verifytextpresent - I am searching for a text which is not present in the page and using continue on failure as failure handling
Next step i have used verifytextpresent with text present in the page.

In execution, ideally it should pass the step with text present, but it is failing. Exception says text not present. But it is taking the text of first step.

WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘phani’, false, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE) — this should fail

WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘Statistical’, false) ---- this should pass

Hello,
why??? why not use verifyTextNotPresent …
always try to make proper conditions, imagine someone will need to repair that test after you … looking for something and ignoring non-existence makes no sense in code

to the situation - share log so we can read what’s going on there

phanikumar.gk · February 20, 2019, 7:54pm

There will be situation where search text not present but you are expecting to be present. In such case the next step should pass as well right?

i don’t understand that test, it seems to me quite nondeterministic.

to FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE you need to catch that exception to continue

try{
  WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘phani’, false, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)
} catch (com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException sfe){
  println "*** Text phani found, but we can continue"
}

phanikumar.gk · February 20, 2019, 9:16pm

Thanks Andrej…

Sorry if I am making no sense… I am searching for a text in the application I could not find it due to bug in the application and the step will fail which is fine… Next step should pass since it found the text right?

Again sorry for any ignorance…

Andrej_Podhajsky · February 20, 2019, 9:21pm

yes, that’s true.
still TC will be marked as failed.

and do not apologise English is not my 1st language, so from time to time (usually) i have hard time to get things right…

phanikumar.gk · February 20, 2019, 9:24pm

Thats fine… I understand… Let the Test case fail but the step after the failed step should pass?..

phanikumar.gk · February 20, 2019, 9:28pm

This is the error message -
verifyTextPresent(“Statistical”, false) FAILED… I am searching for text “statistical” but error message says Text ‘phani’ is not present on the page which is previous step’s text.
Reason:
com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException: Text ‘phani’ is not present on page

Andrej_Podhajsky · February 20, 2019, 9:28pm

yes, this is true

phanikumar.gk · February 20, 2019, 9:35pm

This is not happening

Andrej_Podhajsky · February 21, 2019, 5:21am

please always post as much log output as you can. now is your code looking like:

try{
  WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘phani’, false, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)
} catch (Exception e){
  println "phani on page - ignoring error"
}
WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘Statistical’, false)

post log output… remember you are my eyes … more i see, more i can understand

phanikumar.gk · February 21, 2019, 3:02pm

This is my code -

try {
WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘phani’, false, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)
}
catch (com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException sfe) {
println(’*** Text phani not found, but we can continue’)
}

WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘involves’, false) — Text present and should pass

i did small test and try-catch block is not needed

are you sure that 2nd text is on page… and is text not an value of field or something similar?
please share how page looks like

my test:

my html page:

phanikumar.gk · February 21, 2019, 4:11pm

Thanks Andrej

This is what I am doing -

Navigate to Google.com
Search for text testing
Click on link Software testing - Wikipedia
Search for text ‘phani’ ---- not found
Search for text ’ involves’ — should be found

WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘https://google.com’)

WebUI.maximizeWindow()

WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Page_Google/input_Sign in_q’), ‘testing’)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_Google/span_testing’))

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_testing - Google Search/h3_Software testing - Wikipedi’))

try {
WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘phani’, false, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)
}
catch (com.kms.katalon.core.exception.StepFailedException sfe) {
println(’*** Text phani not found, but we can continue’)
}

//WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘phani’, false, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)
WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘involves’, false)

Andrej_Podhajsky · February 21, 2019, 4:55pm

after click on Wiki you need to wait for page to load

WebUI.waitForPageLoad(30)

phanikumar.gk · February 21, 2019, 5:00pm

Tried but no luck…

Tried keeping only one verifystatement WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘involves’, false) then it is finding text ‘involves’.

Andrej_Podhajsky · February 21, 2019, 5:19pm

i got it … after 1st fail all following assertions will fail with reason same as 1st failed assertion:
i switched search for involves and phani and added assert true result after phani - fail everything

phanikumar.gk · February 21, 2019, 6:13pm

ok… Thanks Andrej

So assert true is required in these cases?..

Tried first searching ‘phani’ and then ‘invloves’ and placed assert true. It passed ‘involves’ step and assert failed…

Andrej_Podhajsky · February 21, 2019, 6:52pm

no it’s not … assert true should always PASS as you can see, it’s failing because search for ‘phani’ fails…
what i’m trying to say is: after first FAIL all checks will fail too.
if BUG will be existence of ‘phani’ and nonexistence of ‘involves’ on page best is to use following script lines otherwise you will see FAIL exception in result …

WebUI.verifyTextNotPresent('phani', false)
WebUI.verifyTextPresent('involves', false)

phanikumar.gk · February 21, 2019, 6:57pm

Agree… But I may not know what exception messages will appear while performing any action… Lets say I am trying to save data and there is an exception on the application(due to bug). So due to this all other statements will fail… I thought it will be good to capture the success message for any validations… Please correct me
