Hello,
Am using Katalon Studio 8.3.0 and trying to automate a Desktop Application that is already opened using .bat file
I have opened a notepad application using .bat file
Runtime.runtime.exec(“C:\notepad.bat”)
Once notepad is opened successfully, am unable to switch the control to opened notepad app for automation. I have tried many ways but still unable to switch the control to the existing application
Windows.switchToWindowTitle(“Notepad++”, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)
Windows.switchToApplication(findWindowsObject(obj))
Below is the error that i get,
(Root cause: java.lang.NullPointerException
