Steps to reproduce:
1.Start IE browser -->browser will launch -->click on refresh in the tool-->page loaded
2.enter url as http://google.com -->security authentication window will open to enter user name and password--> enter and click on--> Click on Refresh button in the tool--->nothing will get loaded.

in organization,due to security issues ,when ever we open google or some other sites,it will ask us to pass credentials then it allows to access based on the correct user creds.

By using SWD, default browser launched window(IE driver window) will be loaded in the tool but once you enter url as some generic site "Google.com" (where it doesn't allow you to access) the browser window failed to carry cookies or session out or window close exception.

please,can you assist how we can resolve this issue?

Note: This behavior is happening only on IE.

Usability short comings in “Page Object” section of SWD Page Recorder

1. We can not copy one page objects onto other pages, i.e. an Item of .pox file can not be copied to another .pox file.
   Example: My application has A, B etc.. pages. A page has objects Start Date(id: A_startDate) and End Date(id: A_EndDate), which B also has like Start Date(id: B_startDate) and End Date(id: B_EndDate). So, I would like to copy the objects from A to B, in this case I just need to change the ids, rest things can be the same.
   See attached word file...

2. The object on which we are currently working on Locators tab, are not highlighted in Page Objects tab, due to which user have to read the objects list to see on which object we are currently making the changes.
   See attached word file...

3. We need to double click on an Object to bring it in “Locators Tab”, It causes lot of confusion while Removing and creating copy of elements
   See attached word file...

4. We can not select multiple objects to perform,” Remove”, “Copy” actions
   See attached word file...

5. Also if possible, It would be great if we can edit the “xpath” and view element hierarchy on the [ctrl + right click] popup itself
   See attached word file...

6. Please Enable keyboard shortcut keys to perform actions like (Save – ctrl + s) and also put the Copy, Remove actions on a popup which displays when we select object and right click on it.
   See attached word file...

7. Also it would be great, if instead of showing a dropdown of created pages,
   we can have them in tree like view like as shown below
   See attached word file...

This will improve the usability and speed in copying and pasting the same kind of Objects from one page to other.

While building the project getting error as \swd-recorder-master\SwdPageRecorder\SwdPageRecorder.sln.metaproj : error MSB4126: The specified solution configuration "Debug|MCD" is invalid.

Selenium allows taking full page screenshot. It will be nice if SWD can give this option in the GUI.
I tried to execute following code in WebDriver Playground and it always throws exception.

driver.GetScreenshot().SaveAsFile("c:/test.png", ImageFormat.Png)

Google Chrome only:
When I am using WebElement Explorer together with Debugger toolbar, the following exception occurs and WEE cannot be started again

2013-09-07 21:39:43.4139 ERROR unknown error: failed to close UI debuggers

Handle JavaScript Errors in non HTML documents, e.g. SVG

http://www.schepers.cc/svg/blendups/smiley.svg

It would be nice to have my browser maximized just after i've started it via SWDPR

I would like to suggest following enhancements to In-Browser Element Explorer that is shown when user presses Ctrl + Right click

1. Display value of Id, Name attributes (if available for the element)
2. Along with XPathLocator, also show/suggest CSS Locator
3. When user adds an element, show success message or close the popup

Hi,

I like this project. Is there any plan to support other platforms like MacOs, Linux and so on.

Tried to run internet explorer driver for IE 11 32 bit. It opens up the browser but when on locators tab and click on Start button it shows below error:

Unable to get browser
Error type: OpenQA.Selenium.NoSuchWindowException

1. Is it possible to connect to an already running firefox browser started by WebDriver? I am developing my tests in Java and would like to have the test drive the application to a particular page and then have SWD Recorder take over so I can generate the page object for the current page.
2. What is the "Use remote hub connection" option on the first page of the application for? I haven't seen in mentioned anywhere.

Thanks
Andrew

Dear authors,

This is a great application for web automation, but I am experiencing a problem during my work with it. The swd-recorder captures the xpath which is something like (in the output pox file):
id("svep_19_i0_508")/div[1]/img[1]

However, the id of "svep_19_i0_508" always changes because of the id is generated dynamically by the Web server, so when I re-open the page, I always fail to find the page element recorded.

What I expect is something similar with :"html/body/section/section/x1-workspaces/div/div[2]/x1-tabset/ul/li[7]/a

A work-round is to use the firepath to get the absolute xpath, so I hope the swd-recorder can extract the absolute xpath of page elements, probably it can re-use the interface of firepath or firebug?

Very appreciate with your help.

Do we have java source code to utilize in automation manner.

Not able to enter the URL in the Browser field as its disabled. Why its disabled ? I had downloaded the latest release [Build#2015.04.14]. Any configuration issues ?

Can any one suggest workaround or solution for this ?

Given the WebElement Explorer is started

@dzharii
I am very new to Test automation with Java programming and I wanted to make my work more simple by creating page objects with your tool. But I was unable to run this program from my local machine due to access permissions and so I tried to run it from a shared folder and I got the below message.

Kindly let me know if I am missing something or if there are any pre-requisites that I should consider before running the tool.

My application is using context menu, so when I'm using Ctrl-Right Click application defined context menu is shown instead of SWD's add element dialog.
Please add a possibility to change action for adding elements in browser.

I have to login to site to get the page for which i want all the locators
but when i am login to application only in the first page control is there after login sessions opens in new window. and control is not able to switch to new window

How solve this issue, Please help me

Many people requests SWD Page Recorder on Mac OS.
It seems SWD Page Recorder should work on Mono in same way as on Linux. But it require additional testing.
Will try to add basic support for MacOS before R0.1

TODO: FIX message --> Exception has been thrown by the target of invocation

Hello, thanks for your work on this project, I am interested in it.

I downloaded the project compiled and ran it, it seems to be looking for the drivers. My question is where do I put the drivers? In the project of anywhere on the system (and adding to the Path environment statement?)

Change backgroun on selectors tab
(Classic color scheme)

Can we add the IE capability to set the protected mode. In our organization we can't set it manually.

It would be more comfy for user to have an oppotunity to close the pop-up on his own.
For instance by 'ESC' button.

Possibly it might be even better if the dialog will close itself by clicking 'Add element' button

When I record locators for a certain UI element with SWD Recorder (and Firefox), I see the following error in the log (and further recording becomes impossible until application restart):

In the In-Browser Web Element Explorer I see:
input[@type='submit' and @value='Save']

The html for this element is simple:
<input class="button" type="submit" value="Save">

Hello. At the very start of the program, when I click "save" button, or just choose an alement on the right, I get an error: "An error had occured during saving the page object. File: .pox. Error: there was an error reflecting type 'SwdPageRecorder.Webdriver.SwdPageObject'. What am I doing wrong? :)

UPD: Changed "Dictionary" to "SerializableDictionary" and it worked.

Привет Дим!) Hi dear dev. I found a bug in 2018. When i trying to add element, then it doesn't work. I don't know why. I updated chromedriver to latest version. So, mybe you can check it.

This issue was reported by Vlad via Email.
On web applications built with JSF framework standard JavaScript side JSON object is changed when serializing arrays.

As results, the following error occurs in SWD Page Recorder:
2013-09-02 13:22:05.0123 ERROR Error converting value "[{"Key": "type", "Value": "text"}, {"Key": "class", "Value": "long-input  "}, {"Key": "maxlength", "Value": "64"}, {"Key": "value", "Value": ""}, {"Key": "name", "Value": "name"}, {"Key": "id", "Value": "name"}]" to type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair`2[System.String,System.String]]'. Path '', line 1, position 261.

Looks like standard JSON object behavior was changed by JSF.
The following experiment shows different behavior for same calls in same browser for default and JSF pages:

http://www.toysrus.co.uk/index.jsf

JSON.stringify([{Key : "1", Value : "s}dsd" + '"' + "z"}], null);
""[{\"Key\": \"1\", \"Value\": \"s}dsd\\\"z\"}]""

about:blank

JSON.stringify([{Key : "1", Value : "s}dsd" + '"' + "z"}], null);
"[{"Key":"1","Value":"s}dsd\"z"}]"

The problem was fixed by generating json string without using JSON object.

Hello,
I have SWD Recorder running on two laptops, one using the regular release of firefox, and another one with the ESR (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/) release of Firefox.
The SWD with ESR fails when clicking on the "Start" button with the error message that it could not determine the version of FF from the registry.

Since FF 31, the ESR version has used a different Registry to the regular FF. I think SWD should also look in that registry for FF.

Hello. Is there a way to get all locators of element, or at least all xpath locators? I've found an "AlternativeFindBys" array, but it seems it is not what i need. I want the list of the paths, which we get on "Gen Locators" button. Is it stored somewhere in the Page Object?

Hi dzharii,

First I like to thank you for this wonderful initiative for reading the Page Objects for web applications which is a great help to Test Automation folks like me.

I have tried to Capture the elements and added it to the repository. When on trying the keywords or Actions like Click(), Clear(), SendKeys(""), it works fine and have no issues with it.

But there is a purpose on checking the attribute value of an element in selenium, which I want to try from the SWD page Recorder.

If So, can you please share the list of keywords or actions included to perform in SWD page recorder for Webdriver playground.

Thanks!!!!

HI,

Due to security reasons and no admin rights, i tried to handle IE protect mode through script but which was failed to run using the tool.

After i handled IE protected mode through the code , tool giving java script error when i try to perform Ctrl+Right click on any element.

The below changes i did to run on IE,
var options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings = true;
options.InitialBrowserUrl = "https://google.com";
driver= new InternetExplorerDriver(options);

after this change, i was able to invoke internet explorer but not able to locate any element,and saw the above explained error message.

Note: Working fine on firefox.

Thanks In Advance.

Hello,

It's just my thought and i have implemented same thing in the page recorder to locate customized path of the browser.

1. i have added two controls (1.check box and edit filed)
   when user selects browser to start, if selects check box and entering the binary path then tool will tries to identifying the customized path other wise it will take default installation location.

2. Added few line of code in webdriverUtils.cs under "StartEmbededWebDriver" method
   private static IWebDriver StartEmbededWebDriver(WebDriverOptions browserOptions)
   {
   switch (browserOptions.BrowserName)
   {

             case WebDriverOptions.browser_Firefox:
   

   if (browserOptions.BinaryURL != "" && browserOptions.IsBinary)
   {
   FirefoxBinary ffBinary = new FirefoxBinary(browserOptions.BinaryURL);
   FirefoxProfile firefoxProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
   return new FirefoxDriver(ffBinary, firefoxProfile);
   }else {
   return new FirefoxDriver();
   }

Note: i hope we can use same logic for other browsers as well.

1. i have added the below 2 controls as,

if i am not correct ,please excuse me and tune for better solution.

Hi,

Am getting the below error whenever i try to launch Firefox browser,

Additional information: Cannot find a file named 'C:\SWDPageRecorder\Bin\webdriver.xpi' or an embedded resource with the id 'WebDriver.FirefoxExt.zip'.
