Improved Trainer Replay (v2.13.0+)
Replay in the Trainer
The mabl Trainer now runs all local playback using the Chrome debugger mode to instrument the network interaction, gain direct access to the DOM, and better replicate user actions inside your browser.
Now when you replay your journey locally, you'll see a bar appear at the top of the browser window.
Added Steps vs Recorded Steps
You'll notice while training new steps that sometimes the debugging bar will appear after a new step. Assertion steps, steps using custom finds, steps that manage cookies, and other steps that users need to add through the Trainer are executed to get the page to the state you want to be in before the next step. Steps that are added because mabl detected and recorded an action don't need to be executed to be ready for the next step.
Below is an example where a CSS custom find is used to find the button and click it. When the step is saved, mabl executes the step to get the page under test to the state we expect after the form is submitted.
