Question 5

If locators are written in excel, xml or in other files does it update locators there because in normal scenarios locators are written in java file but i am reading the locator value from excel, xml, etc ?

SolutionsHub Support · Accepted Answer

Locators may be in any places, for Healenium it doesn't matter. It'll work as well.
But If you use IDEA Plugin to update source locator, you should relocate locators in java classes. 
IDEA Plugin could work only with java files.

We collect unsuccessful results to enhance the healing algorithm and clean up after 1 year. The data is stored in our private repository, nothing to worry about.

First off, thank you for your interest in the Healenium library.

Healenium is compatible with webdriverio. But Healenium doesn’t support JavascriptExecutor to healing elements.

Sample Healenium + webdriverio: [https://github.com/healenium/healenium-example-webdriverio](https://github.com/healenium/healenium-example-webdriverio)

Question 11

I have Selenium and webdriverIo installed and while trying to install the Healenium dependency using cmd: npm run @healenium/webdriverio get error E404 '@healenium/webdriverio@*' is not present in npm registry. I have npm v 7.5.3 installed.

SolutionsHub Support · Accepted Answer

There is no dependency on js projects. You have to set up Healenium services (w/wo docker) and use RemoteWebDriver with a connection to hlm-proxy in the project. Here you can see the sample: https://github.com/healenium/healenium-example-webdriverio

SolutionsHub Support · Accepted Answer

Playwright and Cypress libraries cannot be used with Selenium for web testing. They employ different protocols and architectures, so you cannot use Healenium with them. Healenium is compatible only with Selenium.
