Your help and contribution are very valuable, please Star ⭐, Fork, submit Issue or PR, thanks! 😁😘🎁🎉

Why

When I needed a tool that could record browser interactions and generate corresponding scripts, I found puppeteer-recorder and Selenium IDE, of course, they are excellent projects. But I found that they can't support multi-tab recording, screenshots, etc., and Selenium IDE always gives an error when playing a script, so I made this wheel.

Features

  • Single tab recording
  • Multiple tab recording
  • Screenshot
  • Generating test script
  • Play the script
  • Download test report (contains screenshots and test script)

Installation

$ npm i -g softest

Usage

Add environment variables to facilitate running commands:

$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.npm-global/bin

To run the softest command, you need to specify the directory where the Chromium and the directory where the test report is saved:

$ soft -c PATH_CHROMIUM -r PATH_REPORT

If you don't know where the Chromium is, you can start Chromium and type chrome://version/ in the address bar to find the location of its executable.

If you see an output similar to the following, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉👏
