What is ChroPath?ĬhroPath is an extension for Google chrome and mozilla firefox browsers, used to write, edit and evaluate XPath and CSSpath. Let us have a look in, what exactly it is & how it work. Out of them, i felt ChroPath is the best one.
To automate these things, there are many browser extensions present in market. By looking in to this DOM, one may write Xpath or CSSpath, but this is manual process and time taking, moreover, you need to again verify if it is unique. Now, in any web browser, inspector option is always present, used to look in to DOM structure. They are used to interact to respective web element using selenium webdriver (or could be any other). All these are basic things to work on test automation. Chrome is simply a better browser until Firefox upgrades their JavaScript engine.If you are a test automation engineer, then webelement identification, XPath, CSSpath shouldnt be new terminologies for you. And that makes me sad, as a Mozilla fanperson. You see, now everyone wants to move away from Flash in lieu of jQuery motivated by mobile accessibility and interactivity (iPhone, iPad, Android) and JavaScript is 'suddenly' a big deal (that's sarcasm), so that ship has sailed, Firefox.
Sorry to put it so bluntly but it's the truth. Last point: The day that Google Chrome gets a fully-featured Firebug is the day Firefox basically dies for developers because Firefox had 3 years to make Firefox's layout engine Gecko as fast as WebKit and they didn't. Maybe Chrome Inspector has this now? Last time I checked it did not, because Chrome updates itself in the background without your intervention (gets your consent by default like all good overlords). The Cookies/Net tab are extremely useful to me in Firebug. I'm used to the interface and I think Chrome Inspector is not as good although this is a subjective thing I admit. Somehow it's just easier to read/use Firebug maybe because of the ease of navigating, manipulating/modifying the document in several key areas? Who knows. Live preview / modification of DOM / CSS is still way better in Firebug calculated CSS and box model view are better in Firebug Inspector is a 'lite' version of Firebug: The interface is not as good IMO, element inspection in both recent versions is now clunky, but Firebug is still better I find myself trying to find the love for Chrome (since it's a better, faster browser experience), but for development work, it still just sucks for me.
Just adding some talking points as someone who uses Firebug / Chrome Inspector every day:Īt the time of writing, there's only Google DOM inspector and no it doesn't have all the features of Firebug
