It would have been useful if the tool had worked correctly. My team and I tried to use but the recorder seems to have issues with special characters such as : and it did not record xpath correctly. So it does give you a shell of what you need but you would need to manually clean up. I thought other recorders like Katalon recorder did a much better job of recording. So we have only started using Canary with API and checked specific urls rather than end to end testing.

In the interest of full disclosure I am an employee of AWS but do not work for CloudWatch. The synthetics recorder has been super useful for me so far! The way I use the recorder is that I will click through a flow that I want to test, generate the script, and then use that script as a skeleton as to the flow that I want to write a canary for. There has been a bit of drama with the source of this plugin but it seems CW really wants to make it right and have added credits to the extension's description. All of that aside the extension itself is really cool!
