About SideReplay – Test Recorder for .side files & Playwright export

Selenium IDE is no longer available in the Chrome Web Store. If you have tests saved as .side files, SideReplay runs them in Chrome again — no rewrite, no server, no account. OPEN YOUR EXISTING .SIDE PROJECTS • Open files saved by Selenium IDE 3.x and 4.x and run them as they are • All 93 Selenium IDE commands: click, type, select, assert/verify, waitFor, store, echo and more • Control flow: if / else if / else, while, times, forEach, do / repeat if • Alerts, confirmations and prompts, iframes (including nested ones) and new windows or tabs • runScript / executeScript / executeAsyncScript (after you switch on "Allow User Scripts") • Old command names are converted automatically, and unsupported steps are reported before a run starts COMING FROM KATALON RECORDER? • Katalon Recorder is no longer maintained. SideReplay opens the .html test suites it saved • Data-driven tests (loadVars) run from your CSV or JSON files: the first row free, every row with Pro • Test files from Selenium IDE 1.x and 2.x open too, and can be saved as .side projects RECORD NEW TESTS • Record clicks, typing, Enter, select lists, checkboxes and double clicks • Follows you into iframes, new tabs and pop-ups, and records how you answered dialogs • Saves several locators (id, name, CSS, XPath, link text) for every element SELF-HEALING LOCATORS • When a page changes and a locator stops working, SideReplay tries the other locators it saved • It shows which locator worked, and one click updates your test EXPORT TO PLAYWRIGHT (Pro) • Turn a whole project into one readable Playwright Test (TypeScript) file • Assertions become expect(), verify becomes expect.soft(), loops and conditions become real code • Frames, windows, dialogs and scripts are converted; anything unusual is marked TODO • Free users can export one test with up to 10 steps to try it DATA-DRIVEN TESTS (Pro) • Repeat steps once for every row of a CSV or JSON file, with each column as a variable • Free users run the first row to check that everything works HTML REPORTS (Pro) • Download a single HTML file with every step, result and error message to share with your team PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your tests are stored only in your browser • No account, no analytics, no tracking • Only a Pro license key is checked with our payment provider, Polar HOW TO USE 1.
