Xpath Forte by Sam - Crafted with Code. Fueled by Passion. ⚠️ Heads-up: After installation, give your browser a quick restart to activate all features smoothly. Say goodbye to fragile XPath selectors and tedious trial-and-error. XPath Forte by Sam helps developers, testers, and automation engineers generate the most robust, reliable, and readable XPath, CSS, and Playwright selectors — without breaking a sweat. Whether you're building test automation frameworks or debugging DOM elements, XPath Forte delivers context-aware intelligence to help you navigate even the most complex web structures. 🏆 NEW IN v2.1.0 ⭐ Playwright Locator Generation — Full Playwright-compatible locator support including role-based, label, text, test ID, and attribute locators with stability scoring. ⭐ Right-Click Context Menu — Right-click any element and select "Generate XPath" to instantly generate selectors without activating inspection mode. ⭐ Draggable Panel — Drag the panel anywhere on screen. No more blocking the element you're trying to inspect. ⭐ Dark Mode — Automatic system detection or manual toggle. Easy on the eyes during long test sessions. ⭐ Shadow DOM Isolation — The panel no longer inflates match counts. Selector counts now reflect exactly what your automation framework will find. ⭐ Smarter XPath Patterns — Transient CSS classes (hover/focus states) are now filtered out. Float-label patterns, heading-relative context, and child-aware container selectors produce more accurate results. ⭐ Smooth Transitions — Polished animations on panel open, tab switches, and element highlighting. 🔑 CORE FEATURES ✅ 60+ Smart XPath Patterns – ID, class, attributes, text, aria-labels, data-testid, relative anchors, sibling relations, and more. ✅ Best Locator Engine – Automatically picks the shortest unique stable selector from all XPath, CSS, and Playwright candidates. ✅ XPath + CSS + Playwright – Three selector types with the same stability scoring, side by side. ✅ Testing Attribute Support – First-class support for data-testid, data-cy, and data-qa conventions. ✅ Stability Scoring – Every selector rated Stable / Moderate / Fragile (0–100). Know which selectors survive the next deploy. ✅ Match Count Badges – Green = unique. Amber = multiple. Red = none. Instant visual feedback. ✅ Live Evaluate & Test – Paste any XPath, CSS, or Playwright locator and test it live with visual highlighting. ✅ Relative Anchor XPaths – Builds short, resilient paths from the nearest stable ancestor. ✅ Dynamic Stability Detection – Skips auto-generated IDs and framework hashes while keeping legitimate utility classes. ✅ iframe Support – Elements inside nested frames are fully supported. ✅ One-Click Copy – Copy any selector; panel stays open, evaluate input auto-fills for instant verification. ✅ Minimal Permissions – No background access. We only act when you say so. XPath Forte by Sam isn't just another tool — it's your testing sidekick that tells you exactly which selector to use and why. Level up your automation game. Write better selectors. Build smarter tests.
