Xpath not working in Katalon but works in Chrome Dev Tools

@Ibus Thanks, I also do not use the WebUI API, so I was not aware of this. The verifyElement__() and waitForElement__() methods have been a point of contention for a while. I even posted on it way back in the day:

Remove timeOut argument from verifyElement___() family of methods

This is part suggestion, part inquiry on my part as to the thinking behind the current verifyElement___() methods and their waitForElement___() counterparts, and is a conglomeration of things that myself and others harped on before (see links provided at the bottom). As a general approach, both semantically and functionally, it would make sense that these two families of methods serve related, yet separate purposes. Specifically: 1.) verifyElement___() methods should act solely as assertions, …

@sarah.kladstrup In that case, if you indeed want the test to stop on failure, a simple approach would be to just assert the result of the verifyElementPresent() call, which I believe returns a boolean value:

assert WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('path/to/my/object'), 10)

Or to join the rest of us, and implement your own framework
