Can this tool run side files?

[bitcoinmeetups]

Hi,

I'm BM, a very nice and polite guy. Can this tool run .side files?

Assuming the directory is /home/seleniumtests and the name of the file is seleniumtest.side, how would the path lines in the script look?

Hi BM,
I have not run it on .side files. It was written to work with an older version of Selenium IDE that saved it's data in XML files. I wouldn't be surprised if the new .side files are similar but I haven't tried that.

Basically, this library allowed us to record our tests using Selenium IDE and then run then as part of our automated test suite using nose.

If you have time some time please check if it can run .side files. I tried already but I could not get the syntax right.

An example with a .side file would be good, I couldn't get the path right I think or it just couldn't handle .side files. But I didn't get an error message so I'm not sure which one it was.

I really, really don't like javascript so a Python tool would be useful.

Oh, by the way, this is a little bit funny. You haven't run side files with siderunner : )

Yeah, I wrote this over 10 years ago before .side files were a thing. It appears that side files are JSON format whereas this tool read the older XML format. I also notice that it works with Chrome now. I stopped developing this tool because Selenium IDE was going through some huge changes and it wasn't clear to me that there was a path forward. Happy to see it's still going strong and has some new features. I will look into porting SIDErunner to make it work with the new version.

The selenium record extension seems to work quite well on Chromium. That's why I want to use it (Selenium IDE) But they require another version of Node and anyway I prefer Python tools and Python everything and Bash. Following, in case you make an update please let me know, I can test it because I test a lot of apps. Basic testing only. Word-of-the-day #RoniFugate
