The examples may require two Import statements to be added at the top of the test script:

import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.common.WebUiCommonHelper as WebUiCommonHelper

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement as WebElement

Hi,
The execute Javascript function returns the data in a Json Array. But in my project, I need to get it in a Json Object.

Can someone help?

Please let me know if it is possible, and I will share more details.

Thanks,
Siddharth.

Hi @siddharth14377

https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/webui-execute-javascript.html#description-

Hi, the doc says it returns Boolean, Long, Double, String, List, Web Element, or Null. Are you talking about this keyword or something else ?

Cheers !

Hi,
Please watch the below tutorial

I would propose to add one more sample code. for WebUI.executeJavaScript() keyword.

That is:

import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI

WebUI.openBrowser("https://katalon-demo-cura.herokuapp.com/profile.php#login")

String js = """
let id = arguments[0];
let attributeName = arguments[1];
let e = document.getElementById(id);
return e.getAttribute(attributeName);
"""

def placeholder = WebUI.executeJavaScript(js, ["txt-username", "placeholder"])

println "returned ${placeholder}"

WebUI.closeBrowser()

This sample shows how to write a long JavaScript code which comprises with multi lines. This sample demonstrates how to use Groovy’s “triple double quoted string” syntax.
