SideReplay – Test Recorder for .side files & Playwright export

Record and replay browser tests. Opens Selenium IDE (.side) projects, heals broken locators and exports to Playwright.

Selenium IDE is no longer available in the Chrome Web Store. If you have tests saved as .side files, SideReplay runs them in Chrome again — no rewrite, no server, no account. OPEN YOUR EXISTING .SIDE PROJECTS • Open files saved by Selenium IDE 3.x and 4.x and run them as they are • All 93 Selenium IDE commands: click, type, select, assert/verify, waitFor, store, echo and more • Control flow: if / else if / else, while, times, forEach, do / repeat if • Alerts, confirmations and prompts, iframes (including nested ones) and new windows or tabs • runScript / executeScript / executeAsyncScript (after you switch on "Allow User Scripts") • Old command names are converted automatically, and unsupported steps are reported before a run starts COMING FROM KATALON RECORDER? • Katalon Recorder is no longer maintained. SideReplay opens the .html test suites it saved • Test files from Selenium IDE 1.x and 2.x open too, and can be saved as .side projects RECORD NEW TESTS • Record clicks, typing, Enter, select lists, checkboxes and double clicks • Follows you into iframes, new tabs and pop-ups, and records how you answered dialogs • Saves several locators (id, name, CSS, XPath, link text) for every element SELF-HEALING LOCATORS • When a page changes and a locator stops working, SideReplay tries the other locators it saved • It shows which locator worked, and one click updates your test EXPORT TO PLAYWRIGHT (Pro) • Turn a whole project into one readable Playwright Test (TypeScript) file • Assertions become expect(), verify becomes expect.soft(), loops and conditions become real code • Frames, windows, dialogs and scripts are converted; anything unusual is marked TODO • Free users can export one test with up to 10 steps to try it HTML REPORTS (Pro) • Download a single HTML file with every step, result and error message to share with your team PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your tests are stored only in your browser • No account, no analytics, no tracking • Only a Pro license key is checked with our payment provider, Polar HOW TO USE 1.
