Add Selenium IDE integration to automatically generate Steampipe plugins
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- This would allow quick generation of plugins, especially for sites that don't have an API
- The knowledge required to generate a plugin would be greatly reduced (still probably need knowledge of CSS selectors, but not that much else)
Additional context Context: Selenium IDE (note: IDE, not just captures a web browser session into a simple series of JSON actions
- Allows plugins that generate scripts in different languages (you could make one for the Steampipe plugin language)
- Allows editing of actions based on eg. CSS selectors
- Designed for automation of web user testing (see https://www.selenium.dev/selenium-ide/ )
Describe the solution you'd like I'd like a Selenium IDE plugin that generates steampipe plugins. So would you :) , because this would increase the amount of plugins that other people were writing.
Describe alternatives you've considered None whatsoever; the person to ask would probably be someone in the Testing space, and I'm not there. My reasons for picking Selenium were:
- It's the only tool of its kind that I know of; I've seen others that capture browser sessions, but nothing that allowed for the ease of editing which Selenium IDE has.
- A friend I recommended it to recently took another look, and said it had come a long way in the last few years.
