Can UI.Vision runs in CLI mode like Selenium IDE

Interesting questions…

How it is better than Selenium IDE.?

For me the two key differences are

  • Visual testing options with computer vision and even OCR (XClick,…). This is a bit like applitools.
  • The XClick and XType commands work on truly every website and component. They are useful if the Selenium IDE like commands fail.

Other differences:

What it can not do:

Is it possible to execute the UI.Vision in CLI mode as Selenium IDE ?

Yes, UIvsion has a command line interface.

Is UI.Vision is open source so that if we willing to contribute is that is possible.

Yes

In Selenium IDE some commands like waitforcomponentstovisible/load are not at all working so we need to go with pause time not sure we will hit such an issue with UI.Vision also?

This is a perfect use case for the visual commands I mentioned above :wink:

In this case I would use visualAssert | image_of_the_component.png.
