Extension summary

Analyze keywords
  • Rapidly generate selectors with one click directly in the DevTools sidebar panel. The smart selector generator automatically detects and ignores dynamically generated IDs.

  • Instantly send a generated selector including a screenshot of the control to Ranorex Webtestit, the lightweight IDE optimized for building UI web tests with Selenium or Protractor.

  • Manual selection: Ranorex Selocity generates XPath, link text, RanoreXPath, and CSS selectors. Because only you know which selector fits your needs the best.

  • Instantly generate selectors for elements within iframes, both same-origin and cross-origin.

  • Exploratory selector creation: If you choose to modify a selector yourself, Ranorex Selocity provides instant feedback to ensure the selector is useful.

  • Automatic escaping of selectors: If desired, quotes and escape characters are automatically added to your selector, ready for instant use in locators in Selenium tests.

  • Unique RanoreXPath selector: The generated RanoreXPath (RxPath) simplifies the XPath and provides additional attributes and operators, making the resulting selector shorter and more robust against changes.

  • Dark theme and light theme

Helpful tool for all QAs
by Pavel Petrov, 2023-11-25

Currently, this is the only available extension that reliably helps me find correct relative xpath information. However, even though the overview details list a Dark Mode feature, but no such option seems to exist within the extension. Also, the light mode appearance conflicts with Chrome's dark mode, causing the extension text to display in white with white backgrounds. This forces me to leave Chrome in light mode if I want to reliably use this extension.
