manually start tests from browser

It would be a very nice extensions if the the user could select and start the tests in the browser like the normal play tests when calling the url http://localhost:9000@tests

Why can't you use http://localhost:9000/@tests?

Because http://localhost:9000/@tests does not execute the webdrive tests.

This module is not for running tests written using WebDriver Java API (at least not yet).

The idea is to still record tests with Selenium IDE and save in HTML format. WebDrive will run those tests in multiple browsers. This is a very limited use of Selenium 2 API but it is useful if you have a collection of selenium legacy test cases and you need more time to migrate to Selenium 2.

Having said that, I definitely have the intention to support the Webdriver 2 API in future.

I think I need to clarify this in the documentation.
