Zelector — Robot Framework Recorder

Record a flow or pick any element — shadow DOM included — and get a Robot Framework suite with locators that survive a redeploy.

Record what you do on a page. Get a Robot Framework suite that runs. Most recorders hand you Sleep 2 and nth-child selectors, and you rewrite them before they can be committed. Zelector works on the two things that decide whether a recorded test survives. WAITS — inferred from what the page actually did after each step. A spinner that comes and goes becomes Wait Until Element Is Not Visible on it. A route change becomes Wait Until Location Contains. Timeouts come from the time the page took. Every guess shows its reason and can be edited before you export. LOCATORS — every candidate scored, every point lost explained. Classes generated by a build tool, ids regenerated on every render, classes that name a state rather than an element: marked, not handed over as though they were stable. When nothing durable exists, the panel says so while you can still ask for a data-testid — and offers the runners-up if you would rather pick one yourself. Shadow DOM, iframes, alerts, drag and drop, hover menus and rich text editors are handled — each one a recording that otherwise replays as nothing. Where a closed shadow root puts an element out of reach for good, the panel says so. Reorder or remove steps before you export, and take the result as one .robot file or as a suite and the .resource it imports. One permission: storage. No servers, no account, no analytics, no network requests of any kind. MIT, and the source is public.
