Question

How to handle datepicker control in Katalon studio?
I am very new to Katalon studio.

Answer 1

Here is custom keyword to handle bootstrap date-picker.
package framework
class component{
#Keyword
public static void handleDatepicker(TestObject calender, String exp_Date, String exp_Month,
String exp_Year) throws Exception {
String expDate = null, calYear = null,datepickerText=null,minYear=null,maxYear=null;
int expMonth = 0, expYear = 0;
WebElement datePicker;
List<WebElement> noOfDays=null,noOfMonths=null,noOfYears=null;
boolean dateNotFound = true;
List<String> monthList = Arrays.asList("None","Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul",
"Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec");
def driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver()
WebElement SelectCalender = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(calender, 20);
SelectCalender.click()
expDate = (exp_Date);
expMonth = Integer.parseInt(exp_Month);
expYear = Integer.parseInt(exp_Year);
WebElement datePicker_Heading1 =(driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-days']/table/thead/tr[1]/th[2]"));
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,10);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(datePicker_Heading1));
datePicker_Heading1.click();
WebElement datePicker_Heading2 =(driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-months']/table/thead/tr[1]/th[2]"));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(datePicker_Heading2));
datePicker_Heading2.click();
while (dateNotFound) {
WebElement datePicker_Heading3 =(driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-years']/table/thead/tr[1]/th[2]"));
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOf(datePicker_Heading3));
datepickerText =datePicker_Heading3.getText();
String[] datepickerYear = datepickerText.split("-");
minYear =datepickerYear[0];
maxYear = datepickerYear[1];
if((expYear >= Integer.parseInt(minYear)) && (expYear<=Integer.parseInt(maxYear)))
{
datePicker = (driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-years']/table"));
noOfYears = datePicker.findElements(By.xpath("//span[contains(#class,'year')]"));
firstloop:
for (WebElement year : noOfYears) {
if (year.getText().equalsIgnoreCase((String)exp_Year)) {
year.click();
Thread.sleep(1500);
datePicker = (driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-months']/table"));
//noOfMonths = datePicker.findElements(By.xpath("//span[#class='month']"));
noOfMonths = datePicker.findElements(By.cssSelector("span.month"));
Thread.sleep(1000);
for (WebElement month : noOfMonths) {
System.out.println(" the expected month in int is : "+expMonth);
System.out.println(" the expected month is : "+monthList.get(expMonth));
System.out.println(" the Actual month is : "+month.getText());
if ((monthList.get(expMonth)).equalsIgnoreCase(month.getText())) {
System.out.println("days ");
month.click();
datePicker = (driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-days']/table"));
noOfDays = datePicker.findElements(By.xpath("//td[#class='day']"));
Thread.sleep(1500);
for (WebElement cell : noOfDays) {
if (cell.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(expDate)) {
System.out.println("days ");
cell.click();
break firstloop;
}
}
}
}
}
}
dateNotFound = false;
}else if (expYear > Integer.parseInt(maxYear)) {
WebElement Next =(driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-years']/table/thead/tr[1]/th[#class='next']"));
if(Next.getAttribute("style").equalsIgnoreCase("visibility: visible;"))
{// Click on next button of date picker.
Next.click();
}else {
throw new Exception("This is exception")
}
}
// If current selected month and year are greater than expected
// month and year then go Inside this condition.
else if (expYear < Integer.parseInt(minYear)) {
WebElement Previous =(driver).findElement(By.xpath("//div[#class='datepicker-years']/table/thead/tr[1]/th[#class='prev']"));
if(Previous.getAttribute("style").equalsIgnoreCase("visibility: visible;"))
{
// Click on previous button of date picker.
Previous.click();
}else{
throw new Exception("This is exception")
}
}
}
}
}
You can use above keyword as below
CustomKeywords.'framework.component.handleDatepicker'(findTestObject('testobject'),'10', '12', '1990')
Note : "Framework" folder had been created by us as inside the Keyword folder and then We had created the "component" keyword
This way you can able to create custom keyword as per your component.
I hope this might help you and other developers.

Maybe this can help, it seems to be a similar situation:

Answer 3

There are some generic project templates in Katalon Studio 6.2.0. One of them is "Tips and Tricks with Katalon Studio" that contains a "Datepicker.groovy" file with this generic datepicker code that you can adapt as you wish:
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.annotation.Keyword
import com.kms.katalon.core.model.FailureHandling
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.TestObject
import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI
import static java.util.Calendar.*
import org.apache.xerces.jaxp.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendarImpl.DaysInMonth
class Datepicker {
Date date;
TestObject obj;
Datepicker() {}
Datepicker(TestObject object, String input_date) {
this.obj = object;
date = new Date().parse("MM/dd/yyyy", input_date)
}
def open_calendar_form() {
WebUI.waitForElementClickable(this.obj, 0)
WebUI.click(this.obj)
}
def displaying_month() {
WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/date_month'), 0)
return WebUI.getText(
findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/date_month'),
FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)
}
def displaying_year() {
WebUI.waitForElementVisible(findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/date_year'), 0)
return WebUI.getText(
findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/date_year'),
FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE)
}
def displaying_date() {
return new Date().parse("MMM/yyyy", displaying_month() + "/" + displaying_year())
}
def pick_year() {
if (displaying_date()[YEAR] == date[YEAR]) return
while (displaying_date()[YEAR] < date[YEAR]) {
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/Next'))
}
while (displaying_date()[YEAR] > date[YEAR]) {
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/Prev'))
}
}
def pick_month() {
if (displaying_date()[MONTH] == date[MONTH]) return
while (displaying_date()[MONTH] < date[MONTH]) {
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/Next'))
}
while (displaying_date()[MONTH] > date[MONTH]) {
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/Prev'))
}
}
def pick_day() {
println date[DAY_OF_MONTH]
WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/jqueryui/widgets/datepicker/date_day', [('day') : date[DAY_OF_MONTH]]))
}
def pick_date() {
pick_year()
pick_month()
pick_day()
}
#Keyword
def pickDate(TestObject ob, String date) {
def picker = new Datepicker(ob, date)
picker.open_calendar_form()
picker.pick_date()
}
}

If your datepicker widget is anything like the ones in Zoho (it auto-populates with today's date, and setting the text to different date either has no effect or appends to today's date string), try this out:
public final class GeneralWebUIUtils {
public static final String VALUE = "value";
public static String GetTextValue(TestObject to) {
return WebUI.getAttribute(to, this.VALUE)
}
public static Keys GetCommandKey() {
final String os = System.getProperty("os.name")
if (os.toUpperCase().contains("WINDOWS"))
return Keys.CONTROL;
return Keys.COMMAND;
}
public static void ClearAndEnterText(TestObject to, String text) {
WebUI.sendKeys(to,
Keys.chord("${this.GetCommandKey().toString()}A"),
FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE);
WebUI.sendKeys(to, text, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE);
}
public static void UpdateDateField(TestObject to, Date newDate) {
this.WaitForTextFieldNonEmpty(to, 1, FailureHandling.CONTINUE_ON_FAILURE)
if (newDate == null) {
WebUI.clearText(to, FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE);
return;
}
final String fieldTextValue = this.GetTextValue(to),
newDateTextValue = SMDDateUtils.ToDateString(newDate);
if ((!newDateTextValue.isEmpty()) && (!fieldTextValue.equals(newDateTextValue))) {
this.ClearAndEnterText(to, newDateTextValue);
KeywordUtil.logInfo("'${newDateTextValue}' written to the date field")
}
WebUI.sendKeys(to, Keys.TAB.toString());
KeywordUtil.logInfo("After trying to write to the field, it has value '${this.GetTextValue(to)}'")
}
public static boolean WaitForElementCondition(Closure<Boolean> onCheckCondition, Closure onContinue, TestObject to, int timeOut, FailureHandling failureHandling = FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) {
final long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis()
boolean isConditionSatisfied = false;
while ((System.currentTimeMillis() < startTime + timeOut * 1000) && (!isConditionSatisfied)) {
isConditionSatisfied = WebUI.waitForElementPresent(to, 1, failureHandling) && onCheckCondition(to);
if (onContinue != null)
onContinue(isConditionSatisfied, to);
}
if ((!isConditionSatisfied) && (failureHandling.equals(FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE))) {
KeywordUtil.markFailedAndStop("Condition for TestObject '${to.getObjectId()}' not met after ${(System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime) / 1000} seconds");
}
return isConditionSatisfied;
}
public static boolean WaitForTextFieldNonEmpty(TestObject to, int timeOut, FailureHandling failureHandling = FailureHandling.STOP_ON_FAILURE) {
return this.WaitForElementCondition({ TestObject testObj ->
return (!this.GetTextValue(testObj).isEmpty());
},
null,
to,
timeOut,
failureHandling);
}
}
public final class SMDDateUtils {
// TODO: replace with the date format that you use in your project
private static DateFormat DateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
public static String ToDateString(Date date) {
return this.DateFormat.format(date);
}
}
Save that to two keywords: GeneralWebUIUtils and SMDDateUtils (feel free to replace the name prefix on that one :) )
Then you can just be like:
GeneralWebUIUtils.UpdateDateField(findTestObject('Order/dataSigned'), todaysDate)
to update to todaysDate
and even
GeneralWebUIUtils.UpdateDateField(findTestObject('Order/dataSigned'), null)
to clear it! :)
DISCLAIMER: those utils are pulled straight from my testing codebase.
