Check if Java Object Exists

Verify the existence of an object within the currently active Java application and store the result of the check (TRUE/FALSE) in a variable.

Support and Prerequisites: See Java Automation Commands Support and Prerequisites.

  1. Select the Java object whose existence you want to check.

    After selecting the object, the following buttons become available (when relevant):

    • Click an object

    • Expand selection

    • Narrow selection

    • Highlight selected object

    • Use right-click for selection

    • Tree view

      Highlighting items with blue while hovering them is set to be off by default. To change that, change the key value <add key="FeatureFlag_JavaHighlight" value="false" /> to "true" in the appsettings.config file of the Studio.
  2. Enter the name of the variable into which you want to save the result of the query (TRUE/FALSE).

  3. Select the relevant option(s):

    • Is object visible

    • Identify by object text

      For specific identification: After selecting this checkbox, re-select the object and continue with the next steps.
  4. Expand the Choose Java search method option to select by platform (Default, Awt, Swing, or JavaFx).
