Does Google Chrome work with Selenium IDE (as Firefox does)? [closed]

I can't find an equivalent of Selenium IDE that works with Chrome.

Does anyone know how to use Selenium IDE with Chrome instead of Firefox? Or is there an alternative tool which works with Chrome?

Solution 1:

artejera, do you mean Selenium as plugin to your browser (Selenium IDE)? Here is something for automation in Google Chrome.

But if you want to work with Selenium RC, just set up browser in your test script. There is setBrowser() method in Selenium.

Solution 2:

you can use Google chrome extensions like imacros, scirocco on chrome 21 or later versions. they are similar to selenium IDE for Firefox. Scirocco seems to be new with some limitations like navigation is not supported. So, I recommend 'imacros', seems very close to selenium.

Solution 3:

If you want to harness Selenium IDE record & playback capabilities for Chrome browser there is an equivalent extension for Chrome called Scirocco. You can add it to Chrome by visiting here using your Chrome browser https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/scirocco

Scirocco is created by Sonix Asia and is not as polished as Selenium IDE for Firefox. It is in fact quite buggy in places. But it does what you ask.

Solution 4:

No, Google Chrome does not work with Selenium IDE. As Selenium IDE is a Firefox plugin it works only with FF.

According to your last portion of question: Or is there any alternative tool which can work with Chrome? The possible answer is as follows:

You can use Sahi with Chrome. Sahi Test Automation tool supports Chrome, Firefox and IE. You can visit for details:

Solution 5:

A couple of months ago, Micro Focus released a free tool that allows you to record Selenium scripts in Chrome and Firefox. It's called Silk WebDriver, you can download it for free from https://www.microfocus.com/products/silk-portfolio/silk-webdriver/
