Parameterization of controls in katalon

background :

stay Katalon in , We go through Spy Grab control , Save in Object Repository in , The attribute of location is fixed

How about parameterizing these fixed positioning attributes , One way is through Xpath route , establish Test Object, another

The way is to put , Get the parameterization of the control positioning property

How to parameterize ?

Position attribute parameterization ：

The so-called parameterization of control positioning properties , When this control is running , Dynamically give the specific value of the positioning attribute parameter , Such as text

Take a practical example

hypothesis APP There is a boot interface when starting , We need to choose from six interest tags

adopt Spy Mobile, We can see these interest tags , But it can't pass resource-id To distinguish between , because resource-id Are all the same

but Text It's different , Then we just need to put this Text Parameterize , During operation , To different Text value , So choose

Different controls

 

The captured controls are as follows , There are a total of six controls , among resource-id It's all the same

If we want to put one of them text Change to dynamic attribute

So now we need to take text Of vlaue It is amended as follows ${textname}

This indicates that this attribute is dynamic

And the name of the associated dynamic variable is testname

 

 

 

stay testcase Choose to use this control from the command in , Now open Test Object Input

  In this Test Object Choose , There is a “Variables"

  In this Variables You can create a variable in , At the same time, specify the value of the variable

  The specified variable name , Need and Object Repository in , The variable names specified in the control properties should be consistent , It is set to "testname"

 

Now switch to Scripts in , You can see the detailed commands

 Mobile.tap(findTestObject('tag_label', [('textname') : ' Military knowledge ']), 0)

  Of course, this dynamic variable , Can support text , Numbers , perhaps Katalon The variables in the , Global variables, etc

   

  If you can Variables in , Added a variable , If called label

here , The order becomes

 Mobile.tap(findTestObject('tag_label', [('textname') : label]), 0)

  In this way , We can run , Positioning properties of parameterized controls

  that , At the beginning, six similar Text Control , We can do it in Object Repository, Keep only one

  Instead of creating six similar controls , But only Text Different properties

  If you click , You can pass different Text To dynamically locate

  In script , That could be it

 Mobile.tap(findTestObject('tag_label', [('textname') : ' Military knowledge ']), 0)

 Mobile.tap(findTestObject('tag_label', [('textname') : ' Prehistoric behemoth ']), 0)

 Mobile.tap(findTestObject('tag_label', [('textname') : ' Animal world ']), 0)

 Mobile.tap(findTestObject('tag_label', [('textname') : ' Dinosaur world ']), 0)

  

  If there are multiple dynamic attributes , It's the same thing

  Such as adding resource-id It also becomes a dynamic attribute

  So the order is as follows :

 Mobile.tap(findTestObject('tag_label', [('textname') : ' Military knowledge ', ('resouceid') : 'com.mxr.dreambook:id/tv_tag']), 0)

Positioning sequence :

  

  Now let's think about these six similar TextView, It has passed Text Property to dynamically locate , But if you want to cycle through these six tabs

  We must first create a value , similar [' Military knowledge ',' Dinosaur world ',' The world of animals '], Then iterate through

  But if Text The content of... Has been modified , It will fail , And traversing through text arrays is a little cumbersome

  We wonder whether we can traverse through sequences ?

  At the beginning of observation , Think about whether you can pass instance Properties of

  Because these six different TextView, Among them instance The properties of are 3,4,5,6,...

  After the actual attempt, I found that it passed instance Unable to locate , because instance Attributes are not valid ,

  We are xpath in , If you locate multiple , It can be done by [i] To distinguish between

  You can do it in Object Repository in , Modify the positioning mode of that control to xpath

 Xpath The attribute is

 (//*[@class = 'android.widget.TextView' and @resource-id = 'com.mxr.dreambook:id/tv_tag'])[${index}]

  among , So let's take this index As a dynamic parameter , Similar to the previous method

 

  In script , We can go through 1 To 6 Click on this tab in a loop

 // Select six interest Tags

   for (def i : (1..6)) {

      Mobile.tap(findTestObject('4Dapp/flashpage/tagselect/tag_Text', [('index') : i]), 5)

              }

  

  In this way, a dynamic loop is realized
