I am writing Selenium scripts with Eclipse (only tangentially related). To find XPATHs I use "view XPATH" which sort of works but what I really need to do is inspect HTML using Firebug, and then run Selenium IDE which has an XPATH "find" command so I can type in what I think is an XPATH, hit find and it will highlight it on the web page.
The problem, this works sometimes. It would work all the time but my Firefox screen seems to lock up at times and I can't type anything in. Sometimes I have to reboot, and I may still have the problem. I noticed once when I clicked on Firebug console that it said "enabling this causes a firefox stop or slowdown or something". I can't get this warning again. It is not showing up. I must have accidentally cleared it. So my question: is there a problem running firebug, firefox and selenium IDE? There is for me. Is it due to this error above or some other reason? What can I do about it? I need Selenium IDE only to test XPATHs. True, Firebug has an xpath tester but it is very unreliable and quite often, testing an xpath does nothing (shows nothing found but also shows no errors and does not say "no matches found"). If there was another way to test XPATHs on a web page I could use that. Some info Firefox version: 25.0 (please don't tell me to upgrade, as it won't work with Subbu's Selenium scripts). Firebug version: 1.12.5 Selenium IDE: 2.4.0 Eclipse: Probably irrelevant but is the latest version 20130919-0819 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
