Run Selenium test from bookmark?

I have several Selenium IDE scripts for automating tasks (deployment to an internal server via its web interface), and I want to have bookmarks to run them.

Do not want to go to Tools → Selenium IDE → test test → run the test, just click the bookmark button and run the script.

How can I achieve this? Am I missing a point?

I don’t know if this matters, but I use Firefox (if I need to change the browser for this, this will not be a problem).

thanks

Not sure if you can run the tests by clicking on the bookmark, as browser plugins are usually launched using a key combination. And the bookmark is the URL. Well, the main problem in your question is how to associate a bookmark with launching browser add-ons.

Ok, I researched the lil bit workaround. Speaking about the fact that Selenium HTML Test Suites works automatically (I mean an alternative to bookmarks), some options are possible: solution 1 :

  • Replace Selenium server code to support HTML packages.
  • Create a script to execute your HTML test suites.
  • Create a script to read the output release reports and consolidate the information to be included in the CC.NET report.

Details of the setting can be obtained here.

Solution 2:

  • Firefox Selenium IDE Plugin
  • Java to run Selenium server
  • Selenium server to run test suites
  • Report Nantes for CruiseControl.NET
  • CruiseControl.Net as a Continuous Integration Mechanism

Setting details here

Hope this will be helpful for you.

Bookmarks are nothing more than URLs, which makes it impossible to “bookmark” the functionality of a plugin such as the Selenium IDE.

However, there may be other plugins that do what you want. I did not look more closely at him, but one of the candidates could be the Favorites (Selenium IDE) Firefox Add-in.
