Complete newbie here! I am trying to automate a website log in. Log in to the website only opens at set time each day. so I want to run the macro at that time. Each log in attempt may fail (due to multiple users at same time, delay in actual opening of the website). I need the macro to repeatedly atempt the log in if the previous one failed (my test for this is a screen shot of the “website down” message. Once the initial log in page is passed, a verify credentials page open up. The error I am getting is a “error in condition of repeatif: $is not defined”, . I attach a screen sot of the macro record/entered, and the code is below. Many TIA!

Line 5 is the issue.
visualAssert (like all verify… and assert… Selenium IDE commands) does not store the result in a variable.Instead it sets the !statusOK internal variable.
So the solution is:
-
store | 0 | !timeout_waitOptional: Dont wait for 10 seconds for the element to show up. Waiting is not needed when running in loop anyway. -
store | true | !statusOKReset !statusOK to true in case it was set to false (by an error) somewhere else in the code already. -
visualVerify | hpbsitedown_dpi_96.png -
repeatIf | $(!statusOK) == false- now your check will work
