Extension Usage Instructions

AuTomato helps you to record your web interactions and export these recordings as Playwright or Puppeteer Javascript code. You can also replay the recordings to automate web tasks.

Edit the events of your recorded web interactions inside the extensions popup and setup the javascript events you want to be recorded. But if you want to track "locked" events, like for example "pointerover" or "pointerout", you need to hold the alt-key during capturing these events (its just because a few events are fired too often, so it would make no sense to track them all).

The tracking of assertions is already enabled but is not completely finished yet.

Successfully tracked recordings can also be replayed in a new browser window, to give you the opportunity to visually check your recording.

Please help me to improve the extension so feel free to contact me for critics, bug reports and feature requests.

Feature list:

Version 0.1.0:
- Tracking multiple javascript events: scroll, click, dblclick, pointerdown, pointerup, pointerenter, pointerleave, pointerout, pointerover, keydown, keypress, keyup (Most the events are disabled per default, so you need to enable them inside the popup settings page)
- Edit, delete and replay recordings.
- Delete recording events (Editing recording events is not implemented yet)
- Recordings export as Puppeteer or Playwright JS code
- Pause a recording to be able to track assertions (Press the alt-key + Click on a HTML element during the recording is paused).
