Reviews of css selector helper:
Best extension for generating CSS selectors, by far. This is the only one that completely fulfills an SDET's needs, being manually configurable. I read the Redfin Engineering blog post about how you created this extension, and it's awesome that you created this being so new to automated testing and HTML/CSS.
Took like 5-10 minutes for me to figure it out (Low IQ) but once I did, this thing is amazing. Many thanks my friend for developing this wonderful tool.
Very good!
Installed, restarted Chrome, Inspected an element, but nothing appeared in the CSS Selector tab in Developer Tools. Chrome Version 102.0.5005.63 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Extension doesnt load, once installed nothing happens when i click the extension badge.
Not working
I'm so glad this is back again.
Best thing ever, I always felt something like this should be built into dev tools by default.
This might be the most useful extension I've ever used. Not only does it help you figure out just what selectors you need to accomplish a task but it also allows you to easily condense the selector to avoid unnecessarily long or complex selectors.
I think this extension has been discontinued, yes? I've added it to my browser but it doesn't seem to be active - can't change settngs, doesn't show up in developer tools as is supposed to in extension description... Why isn't this removed from Chrome store?
Great extension, very helpfull for developers
Better extension for find selectors!
Defeats the purpose when I have to select the entire path - makes me need to go through the HTML anyway. Does not save time just takes more.
As someone still learning CSS, this proved very helpful. Thank you!
Works pretty well for getting selectors for automated testing! One request would be a way to get selectors that look at the text - e.g. the linkText or innerText or outerText for the element. Sometimes they make links without IDs and the URLs can change so using the href is brittle. The link text however remains pretty static, but you need to make sure you can get a unique selector when the page has several sections with similar links.
Very useful extension. Only thing that does not work for me is generating selectors inside iframes.
Great stuff! Worked in v.57 just fine.
Version 56.0.2924.87 here and its not showing in developer's tool. How long to fix this?
Very helpful. Love it!
It does not work for me also. Not appearing in the dev tools.
Not working for me. Nothing shown related to this tool in DevTools.
It doesn't work. Never appears in the Dev Tools.
Any possibility that you create this for Firefox?
REALLY useful! The only thing that should really be improved is the style of the selectors: couldn't we have simple flat rounded boxes (tag style) instead of having 5 borders and paddings for each selector??? That's crazy! It is very confusing, lowering the readability and looking horrible!
This is a really useful extension, especially for building functional testing of the browser. It could be improved by adding the tagName to each "row" of the hierarchy, or at least have a persistent option to do so, as sometimes the code is neater when using element selectors. [EDIT] I've gone to use this again after a week or so's gap, and have found that not only do we have element/tag selectors, but also attribute selectors. I'd go to six stars now, if it were possible, as this really is perfect for our selenium-based testing (actually InternJS).
Really found this useful but does not work in v.38 :(
Doesn't work. Chrome v. 38
