I'm using Selenium IDE to automate some browser processes, I need to do a test from which I open the source code of a page (view-source:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeQuelXsUYA) and trying to find a certain word, I am using youtube as an example, however when clicking on "Select target in page" the following error appears "Tab not found / No guide is available for this test case, please keep recording or play. " I've tested it with several pages, and command recording works fine, but every time I open the page's source code, the selenium IDE doesn't record the commands.
Thanks in advance.
[![This is the image of the error, the first script I ask to open the page's source code works, however when I try to select target in page, the error appears, as if the page were not open.1

I can't find any way to click "Save" on a pop up that spawns during a test. TestCafe needs to click the "Save" button so I can obtain the CSV file.
I've tried searching for a way to do this in the docs but the closest thing I found so far is .pressKey('enter'). However, this fails to click 'Save' and I don't know what other options I have.
Screenshot of exactly what I'm trying to click:
enter image description here
I provided the end of my code (you'll have to assume all the prior parts of a TestCafe test are preceeding this:
.click(export_button)
.click(csv_pill)
.wait(3000)
.pressKey('enter')
I expect to somehow be able to have the mouse detect this 'Save' button and it clicks it to save this CSV file.
TestCafe cannot test native browser dialogs. They should be prevented. If you encountered this behavior during the test, please create a bug report with a simple example page or link to a tested site.
I'm getting a popup in IE 11 browser 'long running script' and page stocks. How can I find what script is producing it?
The way I used to find the problem script.
1) View page source on the browser without issue.
2) Save source to HTML file.
3) Place file to the same domain so it can load domain related files.
4) One by one remove javascript from HTML code and checking if an issue has gone on IE browser.
Press F12 to open the "Developer Tools Interface". Change to the Network-Tab and refresh your page. It should show you what is using how much time to load.
So I'm writing tests for a web page, and one of the tests include clicking a link, which opens a new window, do some assertions in that window, and jump back.
To open links I'm using the technique described here.
The weird thing is, when I go through the steps manually (just press all of them one after another) it works fine. But when I try to run the whole test, it either does nothing (no windows open) or it clicks another button (and not the link).
What can be the reason for it working when i do the steps manually, and not when Selenium IDE runs them for me?
To open link, you can use
click | link=link name
selectWindow | windowname
And then perform operation on that window
I'm trying to validate data using selenium version 1.0.9 in magento grid and its detail page.
First, I walked through Selenium IDE from login page to module detail page and click the tabs available there. Eventually, IDE generates PHP codes so I put the code into proper location.
Note: Here, I have clicked the two tabs so that the events get recorded into selenium IDE.
Then, I run the code from command prompt using following command:
phpunit --configuration /var/www/tests/phpunit_test.xml
I got the error (something like):
ERROR: Element //a[#id='test_tabs_form_section']/span not found.
I modified the code and tried to open the detail page before executing click to above link i.e. "test_tabs_form_section", I am getting same error.
Another strange this is if I verify any text of detail page and remove the code that calls click to module detail tabs, it is works, not sure why?
But I really want to open detail page and click to tab, get forms element values using xpath and validate the data.
Can somebody help me, please?
Any help or suggestion is highly appreciable!
Looking forward to hear from stackoverflow geeks!
Thanks
In case this helps anybody:
I found out more things work if firebug is active. This actually makes sense cause firebug will show the final DOM tree in all it's debugging screens, so it's possible selenium is now able to reconstruct the element path because firebug altered the internal DOM.
If something doesn't work with the default element selection created by Selenium IDE, try switching it over to xpath:id-relative. You're already using that in your question, so maybe you there's an even better selector or you will need to resort to using clickAt instead of click.
I am executing a simple recorded script in Selenium , in which i just search a page in Google and then click it , but when Run that recorded script it is giving me the "Error [error] Element link not found".
And following is the Script which i am running,any help would be very useful.

I got the same error message while going through the tutorials online. I found out that the scripts were running too fast for FF to load the links. If you slow down the playback by moving the green button on the Fast-Slow bar to somewhere in the middle the scripts run without any errors.
I guess I know the answer. It might be bcz of any javascript error(you can see that on the status bar at the
Right corner(IE)) or that link element might not be placed correctly in the box(box model).
Here you can use
Selenium.focus("link=text")
:selenium.keyPressNative("10") . It presses the enter key.but while selenium is executing this statement
Do not change the focus from your AUT (don't touch the mouse).
In IDE ,just paste the above statement on click().
Well, I don't think you have to slow the speed down. You know the problem is caused by clicking on the link before it is available, so you could add an extra command waitForVisible (e.g. link=Bill Gates: Chairman) before the clickAndWait command.
Im assuming you are using Google instant as there is no "click search button" command, the link is probably not preset because selenium is not waiting for Google instant to respond or the javascript to render the link. If you manually add in a click command to search it should solve it.
My solution is almost the same as Cuongs. Though I change the speed by using a command and change it back afterwards.
Before you click the link, you can set the speed to slow:
Command: setSpeed
Target: 3000
You can change the speed afterwards again to ~1000
I also had same problem. I did two things which fixed the problem. I changed the speed in Selenium IDE from fast to slow (located at top left of IDE), and I minimized the IDE after hitting play button. I guess for people using only one monitor, minimizing Selenium IDE would help the test find the thing it is looking for; for ppl with two screens, opening Selenium IDE in one screen, and opening browser in another screen would be best.
Info: Installing this plug-in (Selenium IDE: Flow Control) fixed lots of unexpected errors for me while playing with Selenium IDE:-
