Web testing on emulated Android - problem with a button

marie.piolot · September 7, 2021, 11:57am

Hello,
I’m supposed to automate a test where I:

open a browser
navigate to an url (Distributor Portal)
fill in the field email
fill in the field password
click on the button Connexion

then theoretically, I should log in. I don’t.

Here’s my Katalon test script:

import static com.kms.katalon.core.checkpoint.CheckpointFactory.findCheckpoint
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory.findTestData

import internal.GlobalVariable as GlobalVariable
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys as Keys
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement as WebElement

WebUI.openBrowser(‘’)

WebUI.navigateToUrl(‘Distributor Portal’)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_Distributor Interface/button_Tout accepter’))

WebUI.setText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_Distributor Interface/input_Email_input-username’), ‘my_email’)

WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_Distributor Interface/input_Mot de passe_input-password’),
‘my_password’)

WebUI.delay(5)

WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_Distributor Interface/button_Connexion’))

//WebElement element = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(findTestObject(‘Object Repository/Page_Distributor Interface/button_Connexion’), 30)
//WebUI.executeJavaScript(“arguments[0].click()”, Arrays.asList(element))
WebUI.delay(60)

WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘Hallo,’, false)

WebUI.verifyTextPresent(‘Ein neuer Tag beginnt!’, false)

WebUI.closeBrowser()

and I get this error message:

As you can see in my code, I have tried clicking with Javascript, but I get the following error message:

I’ve been stuck on this on days. I am clueless. Thanks in advance.

I forgot : I work on Windows 10. I use an emulated (Android Studio) Pixel 4 API 30 Android v11.0 Chrome 83.

Russ_Thomas · September 7, 2021, 1:34pm

The test appears to be stopping on this line, saying Hallo, is not present. Note there is a comma trailing the word Hallo – is that correct and expected on the page?

marie.piolot · September 9, 2021, 5:50pm

Hello, thank you for your reply. I really can’t script clicking the button Connexion.

The real problem seems to be that the TestObject is found, but not the WebElement. Is that possible ?

I have inspected the web page on mobile with Google Chrome (chrome://inspect#devices). I am positive its id is « submit-login », but Katalon does not find the WebElement basing on the TestObject no matter what I try as an xpath in the Object Repository description.

Any ideas ? The URL i’m talking about is: https://di-pprd1.airliquide.com/fr/fr/login/user , and I’m trying to login on an emulated mobile phone (Android Studio Pixel 2).

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Russ_Thomas · September 9, 2021, 6:30pm

Yes, it’s very possible.

A test object contains reference information to help target a web element. If the references are incorrect, then certainly Katalon will find the test object but the core will fail to find the target web element.

Did you try WebUI.enhancedClick() ?

Russ_Thomas · September 9, 2021, 6:34pm

Aaah… I just looked at the page. Your button resides in an IFRAME element. Be sure to tell Katalon it’s in an iframe:

marie.piolot · September 9, 2021, 6:38pm

Thank you, I’ll try that tomorrow.

Regards

marie.piolot · September 9, 2021, 6:55pm

PS what’s an iframe ? If it’s not too much to ask.

Regards

Russ_Thomas · September 9, 2021, 7:37pm

This:

marie.piolot · September 10, 2021, 7:32am

Hello ! I tried switching to the iframe (WebUI.switchToIframe(findTestObject("Object Repository/Page_Distributor Interface/iframe))) and now Katalon can’t find the iframe:

com.kms.katalon.core.webui.exception.WebElementNotFoundException: Web element with id: ‘Object Repository/Page_Distributor Interface/iframe’ located by ‘//iframe’ not found

What is very odd is that the two input fields (username and password) are also in the iframe (am I wrong?) and that findWebElement finds them. I honestly don’t understand what’s going on.

Any ideas ? I’m getting clueless, and desperate.

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Russ_Thomas · September 10, 2021, 6:33pm

Make sure you EITHER…

1. Set the iframe option in your Test Object for each selector that needs it
– In this case, Katalon will perform the switch to the iframe for you

OR

2. Use switchToFrame
– In this case, your selector must NOT reference the iframe itself.

The point is, don’t use both.

No, you’re correct. I don’t know how or why Katalon is finding those without seeing more of your code.

I did notice that your iframe comes from a different server/domain. Using standard WebDriver/selenium commands should be okay but it might be a concern if we try to use something else later (like JavaScript).

Take a step back from your coding/testing problem and prove you can at least find all the elements you need and check they are visible:

https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/webui-wait-for-element-visible.html

Once you do that, then you should be able to populate fields and click buttons.

Thank you. Your replies are very useful. I hope I can make it work with your help !

marie.piolot · September 18, 2021, 8:50am

Hello,
Eventually I made it wok by using Mobile.hideKeyboard() between typing the password and clicking the button. Hope this helps.
Regards
