One ReplaceAll Statement to Rule Them All!

Well, sort of. In reviewing my code to make it more efficient, I noticed I have several variations on the .replaceAll() statement. In some case I'm trying to remove the $ and , from a value. In others I'm trying to remove the newline and CRLF characters. For another the goal was to remove the ( and ) from a value. And yet another was for the \ in a date. On top of this, I called replace several times in a row in order to remove specific characters or a string. While those work, there is a way to accomplish this in a single call and return just the number I'm really looking for. For example, I have the value $5,573,127 and want just the integer value. That can be done with: tempText=tempText.replaceAll("[^0-9]","").toInteger() Everything that isn't a number will be removed and I'll have 5573127 as an Integer. This includes ()[]$,. and -. If the value is -$5,573,127.35 and […]

Call the same Test Case twice with a Custom Keyword

I recently had cause to run a series of tests where I needed to call the same Test Case multiple times, something Katalon Studio does not inherently support. For my test, I wanted to enter several pieces of information into a form, then perform the same validation steps to check table data. The validation steps are the same each time, so I wanted to reuse the test case. No such luck, Katalon Studio does not allow you to add the same Test Case name to the Test Suite. My first thought was to duplicate each Test Case multiple times, putting a number in front. That seemed awkward and wasteful. I then noted I could go into the Test Suite XML file itself and repeatedly add the same Test Case name multiple times. While interesting, each Test Case is tied to a GUID, so I would need to make a fake one and that's by no means to maintain. And if […]
