Selenium IDE if element exists

How to make a check Selenium IDE if element exists? The goal is to tell the IDE to execute certain commands only if a specific element exists on the page. I found the if element exists quite useful for my web app testing scripts.

I used Selenium IDE 3 (the “new” Selenium IDE) before, and there you can do it with store xpath count. The same method works in the Ui.Vision IDE, but I wonder if there is an even better way?

I use an alternative solution i make a click on the element and i check the statukOk to know id the element is found.

Using !StatusOK + verify element present was the solution.

I found a good demo here: waitForVisible (and waitForNOTVisible), assertVisible, assertNotVisible - Selenium IDE Commands Tutorial

This example uses waitforvisible but the same works with verify element present

This method is much easier to use to check that an element exits. It is a great alternative to the cumbersome Selenium IDE 3 storexpathcount method :slight_smile:
