Thanks for reporting this, I'll take a look next weekend. We have a test in the CI thats failing for this.

Any update to this? storeXpathCount fails for me in selenium-side-runner

debug: errored storeXpathCount|xpath=//div[@id='loginBody']|isLogin
error: Unknown command storeXpathCount

[toddtarsi]

No, I still have to look at it. This weekend I'll dive in, thanks for the reminder.

@jezahl - Okay, I just finished looking! I repaired that test, it is a very easy fix:

1. Open your side file JSON,
2. Just find and replace: storeXPathCount -> storeElementCount

Voila! No locator specific count thing in the new version. That seems silly anyway tbh
