Add-ons for running and development of Selenese scripts

Following add-ons are for development of Selenese scripts. For the easiest download get all add-ons of SeLite Third Party collection.

• Firebug
• FirePath For checking Selenese XPath selectors. Beware that Selenium IDE XPath is stricter than in FirePath. For example, boolean operators and, or are case-insensitive in Firepath, but case-sensitive in Selenium IDE. Sometimes changing / to // helps.
• XPath checker (beware that sometimes it doesn’t pick up a change of the page)
• Stored Variables Viewer
• Highlight Elements
• Log Search Bar
• Page Coverage
• File Logging
• Test Results
• SQLite Manager

If you develop Core extensions or SeLite frameworks (as per GeneralFramework) see also DevelopmentTools.

Incompatible add-ons

Don’t use

• original SelBlocks - it doesn’t call Selenese functions across cases. Use SelBlocks Global instead;
• Flow Control, Sideflow, GoTo - they are incompatible with SelBlocks Global (and also with SelBlocks).

Other versions of Selenium IDE

In order to use an old version of Selenium IDE

• install it and
• disable its automatic updates in Firefox menu > Tools > Add-ons > Selenium IDE x.x.x > More > Automatic updates > Off.

If you’d like to use the current development version of Selenium IDE, see InstallFromSource > Install Selenium IDE from source.
