Enhancement

[jefleponot]

Hello Zarkonnen and everybody,

I would like to have on "se-builder" more commands (but se-builder would always remain userfriendly and pleasant to use - not like selenium ide top-heaving)

• rightClickElement [locator] : usefull for contentMenu
• uploadFile [filename]
• resizeWindow : usefull for screenshots
• switchToParentFrame : usefull for navigation
• waitForElementVisible : useful for screenshots
• verifyElementVisible : useful for browsing
• assertElementVisible : useful for browsing
• printWindowsName : usefull to build browsing
• printChildFramesName : usefull to build browsing
• includeJs : usefull for add jquery library
• injectJs : usefull for using include library

it would be nice to add 2 attributes into commands :

• a comment to explain that is supposed to happen
• a flag to test, on each step of browsing, a verification command.

example :
{
"type": "verifyTextPresent",
"text": "timeout connection",
"negated": true
},

What do you think about that ?
Which commands you agree to be added ?

Best regards
Jef

• rightClickElement, uploadFile, resizeWindow, switchToParentFrame - yes, definitely!
• xElementVisible is technically against the way Selenium 2 is meant to work using implicit waits...
• printX - Would just be a shortcut for storeX, print, so I'm not keen.
• include&injectJS - Ooh, that's quite interesting. Might be tricky to get right, but I definitely like.
• comments - This is actually already available, it's just really obscure and needs to be less so. If you click on the number of a step, you can edit that number into a name/comment.
• verification on each step - I think this is too specific a feature, and can be emulated by just putting the verification steps into the script.

Anyway, I hope this makes sense. I'll see that I can put some of the low-hanging fruit on this list into 2.3.2.

Hello Zarkonnen and everybody,

Thank you for answering.
It's true that I haven't seen how to edit the comment step_name.

I will start to develop "rightClickElement, uploadFile, resizeWindow, switchToParentFrame" features but I'm not good in XUL code.

Could you give me some tutorial link ?
How to test program to differents versions of ff ?
Could I insert some slimerjs codes ?

Regards
jef

Conveniently, you don't have to know any XUL, because it's all plain JS. :D

The important thing is that playback of new steps has to work the same across local and remote playback. So you could use slimerjs, but I'm a bit worried that it will have different semantics.

I frankly don't really bother with older versions of Firefox - as long as it works correctly in local playback with the most recent release version, that's fine.

A good place to start for info may be the contribution notes on the wiki: https://github.com/SeleniumBuilder/se-builder/wiki/Contribution-Notes

Oh, and I've just implemented resizeWindow. :)

Moving these to Milestone 2.4 for now.
