In the process of automating web application regression tests using Katalon Automation Recorder, users often encounter scenarios where they need to store and reuse dynamically generated values. A common use case involves capturing a unique application ID generated by the system, which can then be used in subsequent test cases to verify the application’s existence.
Understanding storeValue and echo Commands
The storeValue command is designed to capture values from a web page and store them in a variable for later use. For instance:
storeValue | id=_application_enquiry_portlet_WAR_morcmsportlet_custId | customerID |This command captures the value from the specified element and stores it in the customerID variable. The log confirms this action with a message indicating the stored value.
Using Stored Values Across Test Cases
To utilize the stored value in a different test case, you might attempt to use the echo command, expecting it to populate a search field:
echo | ${customerID} | |However, the echo command is primarily for outputting the value in the log for debugging purposes, rather than interacting with web elements.
Correct Approach for Populating Fields
To successfully enter the stored value into a search box or similar field, the type command should be used:
type | id=s2id_autogen1_search | ${customerID} |This approach ensures that the value stored in customerID is correctly entered into the specified input field, facilitating further interactions or validations within your test suite.
