Selector type preferences #95

Open jtl-mw opened 10 years ago

jtl-mw commented 10 years ago

A selector type preference menu would be useful including: -Preferred / default selector type -Blacklisted types e.g. Xpath is sometimes a bad choice for largely dynamic pages

If viable, a larger extension of this concept could include recording all selector types and their targets for each step. Upon changing the selector in a step, the target could automatically update to match.

So Builder generally does its best to avoid using an XPath unless it can't construct anything nicer. And actually, Builder does record all the alternative selectors it can find, and lists them as alternatives when you click on the selector value.
