Selenium IDE: How to Pass Variables

selenium-ide, selenium-rc, selenium-webdriver

Solution

You can go with parameterization

For parameterization you need to create js file

For eg. Js file contains

var username = ["parameterization1@mailinator.com", "parameterization2@mailinator.com");
var password = ["parameterization1", "parameterization2"];

You can upload this JS file to Options > Options... > General tab > Selenium IDE extension.

Sample script for parameterization

Problem

I have 3 different accounts in a website that I want to login and print a report every single day. I've done a Selenium IDE recording that allows me to login and print the report, however, every day I have to change the variable 3 times (for the 3 different usernames and passwords). How can I pass a variable to the "value" field of the "type" command? Thank you. Best,
