This is the continuation of previous post involving advanced concepts of Data-driven tests using Selenium IDE. It helps you while giving a Demo or to do a primary check over the tests again & again. Selenium IDE have an additional feature called user-extensions that gives support to data-driven tests.
Selenium IDE [Data Driven]
1| Download the javaScript files, datadriven.js | goto_sel_ide.js | user-extensions.js from link
2| Open Notepad
3| Copy & Paste following tags and replace the keywords highlighted in Orange with your text.
<testdata>
<test phrase="seleniumworks.com"/>
<test phrase="fire & safety"/>
<test phrase="selenium"/>
<test phrase="Prashanth Sams"/>
</testdata>
4| Save it as a .xml file. e.g., googlesearches.xml
5| Open Selenium IDE.
6| Click Option > Options...
7| Click on Browse under 'Selenium Core extensions (user-extensions.js)'
8| Select all the 3 .js files downloaded earlier [datadriven.js | goto_sel_ide.js | user-extensions.js]
9| Click Ok
10| Restart Selenium IDE
11| Now, Record the script and edit them in Selenium IDE for proper looping.
| loadTestData | file://c:/googlesearches.xml | |
| while | !testdata.EOF() | |
| nextTestData | ||
| open | http://www.google.co.uk | |
| type | q | ${phrase} |
| click | btnG | |
| endWhile |
12| Run the Test case
Prashanth,

Thanks
Balaji
Aniket,
ReplyDeleteAfter adding extensions and restartnig the IDE it is showing the following Error
Failed to load user-extensions.js!
files=D:\Automation Data\Import Export\User Extensions\goto_sel_ide.js, D:\Automation Data\Import Export\User Extensions\datadriven.js, D:\Automation Data\Import Export\User Extensions\user-extensions.js
lineNumber=37
error=ReferenceError: XML is not defined
please give solution
thanks in advance
Add:
Deletevar XML = {};
before the script starts. It works just fine after that..
What do you mean by saying "Add: var XML = {}; before the script starts."
DeleteI have the same problem. If you can tell me more detailly,
it will help me a lot.
Type "var XML = {} ; " in the line before the error line in your user-extensions.js file
ReplyDeleteI have loaded all the above js files into selenium IDE. and also created a xml with the data given. After that I created the below test in IDE
ReplyDeleteloadTestData file://C:/test.xml
while !testdata.EOF()
echo ${phrase}
endWhile
While I run it, it goes for infinite loop i.e. it doesn't stop. And also instead of printing the real data it is printing "echo: ${phrase}".
Please help on this.
I'm having this issue too, except for the looping. It randomly decides to use the value listed in the file, and othertimes not. Very frustrating. It may be related to what text editor you use.
Deletewhat does the command click btnG do.
ReplyDeleteIt clicks the search button on google.
DeleteVery usefull, it works perfectly ! instead of installing goto_sel_ide.js as an extension you can use the FlowControl plugin
ReplyDeleteFollowing error coming after all the step you have suggested.
ReplyDelete[error] Unexpected Exception: Error: Error while fetching url 'file://E:/Selenium/Salesforce/Studentinfo' details: [Exception... "Failure" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://selenium-ide/content/tools.js -> file:///E:/Selenium/Salesforce/Modified_JS/user-extensions.js?1439609307028 :: IDEIncludeCommand.prototype.getIncludeDocumentBySynchronRequest :: line 83" data: no].
while i run .it's issue:
ReplyDelete[error] Unexpected Exception: Error: A element could not be loaded, or was empty..
Please help me
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhen starting the IDE again, I get the following error:
"Failed to load user-extensions.js: SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'"
I googled around but didn't find the answer.
Thanks for any help on this.
error: Unknown command: 'loadTestData
ReplyDeleteI'm getting this error why?? running through command line linux
I obtain such error :
ReplyDelete[error] Unexpected Exception: TypeError: activeBlockStack(...).top(...) is undefined.
Do you know what is the problem?
Hi Prashanth,
ReplyDeleteRequest you to update the scripts,
I am getting the below error message after restarting the IDE:
Failed to load user-extensions.js: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsILocalFile.initWithPath]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://selenium-ide/content/file-utils.js :: FileUtils.getFile :: line 32" data: no]
