Andrew Rothman (ID: 000000396d71cebd) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/20/2023 Is this plugin abandoned? It doesn't do anything when I hit play.

icon

Christian Brechbühler (ID: 000000afac8914da) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/24/2023 It *only* records the URL of the page on which you start the recording (like https://www.XYZ.com/apps/foo), as a "redirect" event. On the page, I click a "link" like "Change", enter some text in the box, press Enter (the website loads some data). I click a Search glass, enter a term, click to start the search. None of these actions get recorded, but that's the part I'd like to automate! I stop the recording, and on a new browser tab try "play" to see if at least it can emulate bookmark functionality and take me back to the page. Nope. When I click "play", Chrome prints the following error: "Refused to frame 'https://www.XYZ.com/' because an ancestor violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'self'". I give one bonus star for the user interface. It looks like what you would want, if there was actually some automation of Google Chrome behind it.
