Am I supposed to visit the url I want to start from, even after entering the base url? I was expecting it to open a tab with the base url.
How do I take the JSON export and run it with selenium?
We have a bunch of selenium tests at work that are extremely fragile and generated by coding instead of something that records actions like this. It takes a long time to write tests and no one does it as a result. I would love to get to a system where the tests are created like this and saved to a folder where CI can run them.
In Chrome, you first navigate to the page that you want to automate/test, and then start record.
For use with the Firefox Selenium IDE, use the "HTML" export (not JSON). Then, in the Firefox IDE, you can import these macros simply via the "Open" menu.
This is kind of the situation I'm in, but I see how you could get yourself in a position where you have no idea what your longer integration tests do because they're generated by Selenium IDE.
Browser integration testing is hard.
And/or: What I do is to have one Chrome profile for important websites (e. g. online banking) and another one for the casual web surfing. This "casual" profile is where I try out all new extensions. And only the ones I really need are used in the "secure" profile as well.
