Random notes

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50593047/how-do-i-find-match-a-string-in-selenium-ide
• execute script, return 'value', varName
  • you can use execute script to set a variable with a value, which other steps can use
• you can: open, https://www/.../${varName}/subpath/
  • you can use a variable in the middle of a URL path to more dynamically navigate to URLs
• assert element present, xpath=//pre[contains(text(),varName)]
  • you can use such a variable in xpath contains, NOTE: you cannot use regex in xpaths/selectors in Selenium IDE
  • you can get around this limitation by using assert element present and then use contains to check each non-changing part ("before", "after", "middle")
• echo, ${varName}
  • echo works like console.log
• assert, varName, true
  • you can even use assert to assert a variable value directly
• execute script, if (${labelText}.match(/someRegex/)) { return true; } else { return false };, isMatch
  • or, for example:
