Use Interactive Mode to Build New Test Cases
SmartDriver helps you write tests faster by skipping the need to build selectors for each element. Instead it will pause the test when an element isn't known so you can teach the bot where the element is on the screen.
Enable SmartDriver Interactive Mode
To enable SmartDriver first set an environment variable to tell SmartDriver to pause tests when it doesn't find an element, which allows you to teach it where those elements are on the screen.
- MacOS
- Windows
- Linux
export DEVTOOLSAI_INTERACTIVE=TRUE
set DEVTOOLSAI_INTERACTIVE=TRUE
export DEVTOOLSAI_INTERACTIVE=TRUE
Interactive Mode Quickstart
The best way to use interactive mode is when writing new test cases. You can start with writing out test steps in your preferred language, using the find_by_ai() method for the elements.
Write Out Test Steps
An example for searching Google would look like the following.
- Python
- Java
- C#
- JavaScript
- Ruby
searchbox_element = driver.find_by_ai("searchbox")
searchbox_element.send_keys("hello world\n")
WebElement searchBoxElement = driver.findByAI("searchbox");
searchBoxElement.sendKeys("hello world\n");

Execute Test
After enabling interactive mode, run your test as normal. When SmartDriver tries to execute a step where it doesn't see the label, then it will open a new window to allow you to label the element.
Below is an example of this in action:
