IF .. then else issue

Hello! So I am having this problem with If .. Then and else

 

I am trying to make it so that IF this Testtemplatedetails exists it will run the steps below. But if it doesnt exist it should run else.

When I execute the steps it will jump down the the else part instantly. Ive checked with highlight that the "Testtemplatedetails" exists, which it does. So why does it skip it?

    I'm not sure but it looks like in your If statement the 2nd condition is a string value.

     

    Also sould it not be "IF : 'Aliases.etc.etc.Exists EQAULS True'" ?

    You have the following alias defined as Aliases.browser.TestTemplateDetails

     

    If you want to check if the object exists, then use the keyword "If Object" followed by as Aliases.browser.TestTemplateDetails = Exists.

     

    If you want to check a property of the object that exists, then use the keyword "If...Then" followed by Aliases.browser.TestTemplateDetails.Exists = True.

      But the thing is, when I did the "If Object" it searched for it, didnt find it. Failed the test.. Without continue further. Any settings needed to be changed to make this work? It worked with If .. Then.

    This test checks if an object exists and changes a Variable to false

    Under else it set the variable to True

    This works for me 

     

    EDIT: for clarity, if the object does not exist then it just does the else condition, No error will be posted if the object does not exist, can you post e screenshot of how its configured now?

        No problem, make sure to test the else condition aswell when the object does not exist
