Please Note

I invested a lot of effort into this extension, but got less than zero support from the original author. Subsequently, I ran across SEL-Blocks, a better extension in every way.

Don't waste your time with this extension. Instead go here : https://github.com/martinhbramwell/SEL-Blocks

You'll be glad you did.

Requirements: Selenium IDE v1.0.5

Note:

This is a plugin for Selenium IDE incorporating the flow control extension available at http://wiki.openqa.org/display/SEL/flowControl and http://51elliot.blogspot.com/2008/02/selenium-ide-goto.html

Update 2011/11/15:

Darren DeRidder now calls the script sideflow.js and publishes it here: https://github.com/darrenderidder/sideflow Hasan Bramwell forked it, added ForEach looping and tested it under FireFox 8.0. His fork of sideflow.js is here: https://github.com/martinhbramwell/sideflow

Documentation:

Have a look here: https://github.com/martinhbramwell/sideflow

Installation:

1 Run build.bat (or build.sh on Linux). 2 Open flowcontrol.xpi in Firefox.

Requirement:

To build on Windows you will need 7-Zip and Robocopy

• 7-Zip - http://www.7-zip.org/
• Robocopy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robocopy

Credits:

• Andrey Yegorov - Created the original flow control extension
• Darren DeRidder - Modified the original extension for Selenium IDE
• Adam Goucher - Author of the Selenium IDE plugin API
• Dave Hunt - All I did was turn the extension into a plugin
• Martin "Hasan" Bramwell - Added For/Each looping (as seen in Java)

ForEach loop enhancement

With this enhancement you can now perform For Each loops on a previously stored collection.

Instructions

You should have no difficulty adapting to your needs the example in ./demos/testForEach.html

The steps are :

|addCollection   |  aSuitableCollectionName           |                                  |
|addToCollection |  aSuitableCollectionName           |  aValue                          |
|addToCollection |  aSuitableCollectionName           |  aDifferentValue                 |
|addToCollection |  aSuitableCollectionName           |  anotherValue                    |
|storeFor        |  aSuitableCollectionName           |  aSuitableTemporaryVariableName  |
|echo            |  ${aSuitableTemporaryVariableName} |                                  |
|endFor          |                                    |                                  |

• addCollection - instantiate a collection
• addToCollection - adds a value to the indicated collection (JSON objects are ok)
• storeFor - retrieves the next available value from your collection and stuffs it into the indicated temporary variable. If there's no value available it jumps to the endFor.
• endFor - marks the end of the execution block
