verifyTextPresent not working on CRM

[NaCl-y]

Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to make the method work on CRM, but it doesn’t seem to be able to locate the text. Basically what I’ve been trying to do is to see if the record I’ve created from the Portal side of my website is also created in CRM Dynamics. Then once it’s been found, click on that element.

Here, it shows that the name of the record is saved in my variable:

Here, it shows that my record is created in CRM:

The error i got is this:

System.out.println(GlobalVariable.case_ID);

WebUI.verifyTextPresent(GlobalVariable.case_ID, true)

So I call the first Test Case and save a string value onto my Global Variable called “case_ID” and then use that variable to check if the text exists on CRM.

Can anyone help me figure out a workaround?

[Russ_Thomas]

GlobalVariables are unfortunately tricky (they shouldn’t be, but they are). So rather than opening that can of worms, how about you try something like the following.

Test Cases can return a value (your Test Case is actually a method running in a Groovy script class). And since you’re calling the TC like it’s a method, why not treat it as one?

So in the first TC, just…

...
return case_ID

Then, in your calling TC…

def case_ID = WebUI.callTestCase(findTestCase('Potato Export WIP - Copy'), ...)
System.out.println(case_ID)
...

Your method works as well, it stores the value into the variable. However, the verifyTextPresent method cannot find the stored value on CRM. I’ve tried the method on my portal side and it can find any String that I pass to it.

Any advice?

[Russ_Thomas]

Strange.

Some guesses…

Does it need to be a regex? Is the value a valid regex?

Is the text actually present when the test step is executing? (Did you try waiting?)

[NaCl-y]

It doesn’t need to be a regex, actually it has to be a String. I made sure that the return value is a String. I’ve tried using the verifyTextPresent on the CRM page just to see if it could detect it when the Text was on the page, but it could not detect it.

ust to see if it could detect it when the Text was on the page, but it could not detect it.

There’s no issue with verifyTextPresent - pretty sure of that (we’d see a ton of complaints if there were). So there must be some reason why the text is evading the driver on the CRM site.

Dumb question: Is it actually present as text… i.e. “free text” in a span or similar? It’s not inside an input field of some description?

[NaCl-y]

Using the WebSpy tool, it gives this:

Many records are created daily because other people are also testing different functionalities. The text can be clicked and leads to another page within CRM in order to do manipulation.

I also think that verifyTextPresent works fine since I tried using it on other web pages and it is capable of detecting the texts. It seems that it doesn’t work on CRM.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Russ_Thomas]

So it’s in a frame… did you configure the test object to use a frame?

I don’t use Katalon like this, so I’m winging this from the dark side of the moon.

[NaCl-y]

You might on to something. Will do some research and get back with the results.

If this is an iframe issue maybe this post would help you:
It might be that you need to switch or use the iframe to access the TestObject.

How to (manually) work with iframes in Katalon

I have found that the following works for me when working with iframes: Manually create a new iframe TestObject as follows: -Start Katalon Studio -Right click on ‘Object Repository’ from the left tree -Click New > Test Object -Input Name= iframe01, click OK; iframe01 opens -Input the Attributes or Xpath to locate iframe01 DO NOT tick the ‘Parent iframe’ property radio button Save Manually create a new TestObject as follows: -Start Katalon Studio -Right click on ‘Object Repository’…
