object not found when using a variable in keyword test On screen action

[tvklovesu]

Hi,

I was trying to find an element and click on it using the keyword test and on screen action. But the object is not found error is displayed.

The variable I am passing here is "ProjectSuite.Variables.i". But the same thing when I use in script mode it is working fine. Not sure what's the problem here.

Aliases.RavenDarttsPge.findElement("(//div[contains(@class,'MuiGrid-root MuiGrid-item') and contains(.,'Available columns')]//div[@role='list']//div[contains(@id,'transfer-list-all-item')])[" + ProjectSuite.Variables.i + "]")

Keyword test

error message

The "Aliases.RavenDarttsPge.findElement("(//div[contains(@class,'MuiGrid-root MuiGrid-item') and contains(.,'Available columns')]//div[@role='list']//div[contains(@id,'transfer-list-all-item')])[" + ProjectSuite.Variables.i + "]")" object was not found

The issue here is that variable is not replaced with the value when I execute. This is working fine if I use the variable for any class name, ID or any other attribute.

You can not use variable substitution in XPath query. However, you can do something like this, construct your string first

var xpath = aqString.Format("//div[@role='list']//div[contains(@id,'%s')", ProjectSuite.Variables.i);

where %s will be replaced. Then pass it to,

Aliases.RavenDarttsPge.findElement(xpath)

Thanks for your tip,

I did not use the aq string, but used the code expression while assigning the variable value as follows and now it works.
