Part 4 - Custom Keywords and Method call statements in Katalon Studio

[@conangoinham]

Karthik thanks so much for posting this. I have several years experience w Selenium but am new to Katalon and couldn't figure out how to do some of the more intelligent behaviors I'm used to performing on front end testing. Was about ready to give up on katalon and go back to Se. You have shown me the way, thank you!

Hi Karthik, great video. I have a query regarding the custom keyword you created to see if a value from drop down exist or not. Instead writing this custom keyword and writing many lines of code, wouldn't it be better to use the built in keyword . EX: For the same booleanVar = WebUI.verifyOptionPresentByLabel(findTestObject('objectLocator'), 'NameOfValue', false, 2) it will store the boolean value in booleanVar and we can get the same result as it gave in the code you explained.

plz discuss these statements and loops in manualy

Hi Karthik, When would you create a custom keyword and when would you create a method? What is the difference?

How to reuse the methods alone in different testcases

[@harinathannavarapu7559]

Is it possible to have a nested keyword concept in katalon...... Please give solution

[@hariprasad4946]

Hi Karthik, Can you tell me why Katalon not allowing to call keyword if it is writen in Java instead groovy?

I am stuck in mobile automation with katalon I am not getting any videos realted to element findding in mobile with some good application everyone is just using set text and tap for login in their demo videos. I want to create a xpath for an element where the value changes

Thanks, btw do you know the best place to put custom methods in katalon code? For example you made the login type method, and that in most cases would need to be accessed by almost every test case. I don't see a logical place katalon provides to put a function of this type. What I did was make a test case (made by the built in recorder) and put in a folder called "Common" and call the login test case in other test cases, but that is not the same as having a login method.

I guess it should only be in Keywords folder
