Utilizing Stored Variables and Random Numbers in Selenium IDE

Can you explain how Selenium IDE handles stored variables (stored text) and random numbers? I've been trying to combine the two without much success.

For example:

<td>type<td>
<td>css=input.some-text</td>
<td>javascript{'storedVars.variable'
    +Number(Math.random(storedVars.rand)*100).toPrecision(2));}</td>

The current output only shows storedVars.variable due to a field limit.

I'm hoping to get the actual variable value along with the random number, like text53.

Any assistance on this issue would be highly appreciated.

Answer №1

There was a slight mistake in your utilization of stored variables: 

<td>javascript{'storedVars.variable'
    +Number(Math.random(storedVars.rand)*100).toPrecision(2));}</td>

The correct format should be:

storedVars['variable'] + Numbermber(Math.random(storedVars.rand)*100).toPrecision(2)

Explaining Random numbers further:

Math.random() generates a decimal number between 0 and 1. To obtain a number between 20 and 50, use the following formula: 

Math.random() * (integer range) + (starting number)

Math.random() * 30 + 20

Below is an example of how you can incorporate this into your code:

<tr>
    <td>storeEval</td>
    <td>Math.random() * 30 + 20</td>
    <td>rand_num</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>echo</td>
    <td>${rand_num}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

Then, you can utilize the variable like this:

<td>type<td>
<td>css=input.some-text</td>
<td>${rand_num}</td>

Answer №2

Aha! It finally makes sense to me.

<tr>
    <td>department</td>
    <td>product</td>
    <td>category</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>size</td>
    <td>color=blue</td>
    <td>javascript{storedVars.group=storedVars.category+Number(Math.random(storedVars.random)*200).toPrecision(3);}</td>
</tr>
