Selenium - User Extensions

It is easy to extend Selenium IDE by adding customized actions, assertions, and locator-strategies. It is done with the help of JavaScript by adding methods to the Selenium object . On startup, Selenium will automatically look through the methods on these s, using name patterns to recognize which ones are actions, assertions, and locators.

Let us add a 'while' Loop in Selenium IDE with the help of JavaScript.

Step 1 − To add the js file, first navigate to https://.com/darrenderidder/sideflow/blob/master/sideflow.js and copy the script and place save it as 'sideflow.js' in your local folder as shown below.

Step 2 − Now launch 'Selenium IDE' and navigate to "Options" >> "Options" as shown below.

Step 3 − Click the 'Browse' button under 'Selenium Core Extensions' area and point to the js file that we have saved in Step 1.

Step 4 − Restart Selenium IDE.

Step 5 − Now you will have access to a few more commands such as "Label", "While" etc.

Step 6 − Now we will be able to create a While loop within Selenium IDE and it will execute as shown below.
