Question

I have been using selenium IDE to do some web app testing. I have been encountering errors on trying to playback the user actions, but have not been able to fix them because I have no idea what makes up selenese html targets and commands. It does not look like normal html to me but I cannot figure it out. If someone would be so kind as to help me I would be very happy.
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It’s just a table definition with three tds per tr, specifying the command and any other parameters needed.

Example from the docs:

<table>
    <tr><td>open</td><td></td><td>/download/</td></tr>
    <tr><td>assertTitle</td><td></td><td>Downloads</td></tr>
    <tr><td>verifyText</td><td>//h2</td><td>Downloads</td></tr>
</table>

The IDE also has a reference built into it. I suggest you peruse the documentation available on their site until you are comfortable with the way the IDE works — it can be a little unintuitive if you haven’t done so.
