Is there are way to upload one file in multiple (input) places on the web using Katalon studio

I have to upload one file in different places on the web using katalon

I am using:

'Upload test-photo.png to input_browse'

WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('input_browse'), 'D:\\test-photo.png'

I have to upload the same file on below places

'Upload test-photo.png to Object Repository/TKM/Page_/upload_AB_log'

WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('Object Repository/TKM/Page_/upload_AB_log'), 'D:\\test-photo.png'

'Upload test-photo.png to Object Repository/TKM/Page_/Upload_BC_logo'

WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('Object Repository/TKM/Page_/Upload_BC_logo'), 'D:\\test-photo.png'

'Upload test-photo.png to Object Repository/TKM/Page_/upload_CD_log'

WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('Object Repository/TKM/Page_/upload_CD_log'), 'D:\\test-photo.png'

'Upload test-photo.png to 'Object Repository/TKM/Page_/upload_EF_logo'

WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('Object Repository/TKM/Page_/upload_EF_logo'), 'D:\\test-photo.png'

The path/file to upload is the same but needs to upload in different places/input.

I am trying to create the keyword but due to the change of object/input, it's not working for all.

Is there a way to create the keyword that will work for all uploads in katalon studio?

Solution

  • The purpose of writing keywords is code reusability - you can use the same code multiple times but with different parameters.

    You could use something like this:

    uploadfile(testObject, pathToUploadFile) { 
    // add some more code if needed
    WebUI.uploadFile(testObject, pathToUploadFile) 
}

    so you are passing testObject and pathToUploadFile as parameters.

    For example, to upload Logo.png you would use

    uploadfile(WebUI.uploadFile(findTestObject('Object'), 'D:\\Users\\Logo.png')

    .
