Executing JavaScript code in the Selenium IDE

I'm having trouble figuring out how to execute JavaScript within the Selenium IDE. The objective is to enter text into an input field, with a backend setup that verifies the current time in the input field for testing purposes: Here's the input field that needs to be filled

It seems like this approach isn't working at all: Shown in the Selenium IDE screenshot

The text that needs to be entered into the input field is "TEXT" + "hhmm", without including ":" (Please note that the correct format should be hhmm, not hhss as shown in the screenshot).

I'm attempting to accomplish this task using the Selenium IDE. However, I am new to JavaScript, so I would appreciate any suggestions or one-liners to achieve this.

const now = new Date();
console.log(now.getHours() + "" + now.getMinutes());

This is the closest solution I have come up with so far, but I am only able to return a TEST string instead of the complete desired output. View in Selenium IDE

Any advice provided would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Answer №1

I stumbled upon the solution to my own question, and I thought it would be helpful to share it with you as well. Finding examples of this on the internet was a bit challenging, so here it is for future reference.

If you want to return "TEST" along with the current time, including all the zeros in the time, you can achieve that by running the following line of code and saving it in your IDE:

javascript{"TEST" + new Date().toTimeString().split(':').slice(0,2).join('');}

Next, use ${returnTest} to echo the Value stored in the script, and then input this information into the designated field.
