Allow user to define default locator type

Open jar452 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

🚀 Feature Proposal

When I use the "Select target in page" function, the IDE always selects the "css finder" locator type. In the application I'm testing the css locators change every time, and I would prefer to use the "xpath position" locator type every time, but there is no setting for this.

In the old IDE for FireFox, there was a large list of locator types that you could set in the order that you prefer. If your first preference wasn't available, it would use the second one and so forth.

Motivation

I am wasting a lot of time switching to my preferred locator type every time I make use of the Select target in page function.

Example

See attached screen shot. Locator_Order_Preference

I would also really appreciate these feature. Changing all the locators to xpath takes way too long.
