Selenium IDE - Set default speed to slow

Question

Everytime when I run Selenium IDE the speed control is set to \"fast\" It is possible to set the speed control per default to \"slow\"?

Answer 1

To expand on MacGyver's response, you can put the setSpeed anywhere in your tests, not just at the beginning. For example, you can use setSpeed = 0 when checking for static elements on a page, then change setSpeed to something greater to test things like text entry, etc.

Answer 2

Put this command in the beginning of your script:

Command: setSpeed
Target: 3000

The IDE has a slow speed and a fast speed. However, this is more precise so you can control the delay per command in milliseconds. This example will have it wait 3 seconds per command.

Answer 3

You can also use setspeed as variable, format is like this

store javascript{setspeed=250} SpeedFast
store javascript{setspeed=500} SpeedSlow

Then you can easily finetune speed by just changing in one place
