Hi, 

According to the getting started page in github: 

"Since Selenium Builder's native format is Selenese, it can import scripts that were created with either Selenium Builder, Selenium IDE or Selenium IDE. To load a script created by any of these, click the Open a test file link on the main Selenium Builder screen."

However, when I tried to open my test suite the builder didn't do anything. When I tried to open a test case I was presented with the following error:

[JavaScript Application]
Unable to read file, sorry.
Selenium 1: TypeError: script is null
Selenium 1: Could not open suite
Selenium 2: SyntaxErorr: JSON.parse: unexpected character
Selenium 2 Suite: Could not open suite

I would like to convert to Builder but I have many IDE scripts which could make it difficult to change tools.

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,

I encountered the same erorr message.

I can read selenium IDE HTML test case by Selenium Builder 2.0.10,
but Selenium Builder 2.1.1 raises the error message when opening the same test case HTML file..

Hi all,

I believe I've figured out the underlying problem, which is in Firefox 26: https://github.com/sebuilder/se-builder/issues/110

I'm figuring out how to fix this now and will issue a patch as soon as possible.

Having the same problem here.
I was able to downgrade to Firefox 25 and at least get a bit further so that I could take a look at Selenium Builder.

The fix is pretty much ready to go out, and will do so this week.

Hi,

1. Downloaded Selenium Builder.
2. Click on "open a script or suite" button.

This is not responding at all. I am using Firefox version 41.0.1.

Please help.

Thanks
Hema

Dear Hema,

I'm afraid that Builder isn't compatible with Firefox v41. Have you tried downgrading to v39 and trying that? We're currently working on getting a new version released that is compatible: https://github.com/SeleniumBuilder/selenium-builder But we're waiting for Mozilla to verify and sign the new plugin.

Hello,

I'm currently trying Selenium Builder. I've built around 20 tests on Selenium IDE so I would like to import them, but it doesn't work; Selenium Builder tells it doesn't recognize the "store" command. How could I may it work?
In general, I wonder if it's worth switching from Selenium IDE to Selenium Builder...

Thank you for your answers,

Zoé

Hello David,
it seem i have same problem with firefox 54.0 (open a selenium scenario or selenium test case has no effect)
Does these issue might be solved in the future ?
I read in other forums that selenium-IDE was no more maintained (because of XUL deprecation on firefox https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/issues/3139)
Does Se-builder has same issue ?

Thanks
Tans
