You can use directly close command in IDE. When you used close command the application will close.

Hi Amar,

To reopen the application Use open command & in target place use URL of the application.

Hi Sateesh,

       I've tried using open and openWindow commands by passing URL.
I get error executing open command when browser is closed.
Also if i try executing scripts in S-RC, the error says cannot perform commands on dead object.

Note: Please find the attached snapshot of my scripts executing in S-IDE.

As far as I know in the IDE once you close all the windows you can't open a new one.  To work around this, first open a second window then close the null window. I'm not sure if this will be a valid scenario for your test as you haven't stated what your test goals, and expected results are.

openWindow | about:blank | newWindow

selectWindow | null

close

open | http://your url goes here

your main window will now be newWindow instead of null.

Is anyone can help me to run Loop command in S-IDE

Kiisu,

   Please checkout my testing plans in first post.

Im looking for automating the security part of the application.
1. The basic idea about the stated scenario is to close old session(close all browser windows) and open new session
2. After opening new session or browser enter url of the application and validate whether user logged into the application or not.

Since Im automating the security part. I shouldn't be opening the second window before closing the apllication.

Amar,

Given that the IDE is a plugin that runs within firefox, you would have to have an external script/app close out the firefox process, re-open firefox, load the second part of your script and then autostart that script.

The changes to the selenium ide plugin I mention here: http://dsalyss.com/index.php/blog/making-selenium-ide-useful/ will make that partially possible.    It enables you to have an external application/command line argument start a selenium IDE session with a designated test suite and base url.  I haven't enabled autostart from the command line yet, although that may already be in there I haven't investigated yet.  Adding such a thing wouldn't be all that difficult.  You likely could hack something together as a workaround just using the patched selenium.ide plugin and the java control panel I made as a demo and then control that with something like autoit.  Not really the intention of why I made that but it could work :)

Curious as to why you would want to do that with the IDE, such a thing would be a lot less difficult with Webdriver or even the depreciated RC.

hope this helps!
