[WebUI] Click

Description

Click on the given element. From Katalon Studio version 8.2.0 onwards, if the target element is behind a loading overlay, Katalon repeatedly tries clicking the element for a period configured in Project > Settings > Execution > Default wait for element timeout.

Parameters

Param	Param Type	Mandatory	Description
to	TestObject	Required	Represent a web element.
flowControl	FailureHandling	Optional	Specify failure handling schema to determine whether the execution should be allowed to continue or stop. To learn more about failure handling settings, you can refer to this document: Failure handling.

Example

In this example, we want to click on the Make Appointment button. By default, the Default wait for element timeout setting is for 30 seconds. If the Make Appointment button is behind a loading overlay, Katalon will try clicking the button for 30 seconds maximum.

As an alternative to WebUI.click(), you can try [WebUI] Execute JavaScript to click the element, as in the example code below:

WebElement element = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(findTestObject('your/object'),30)
WebUI.executeJavaScript("arguments[0].click()", Arrays.asList(element))
