| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Start recording is greyed out | The tab is a page extensions cannot record (a chrome:// page or a browser store). The popup says so; open your own website and try again. |
| Nothing is recorded | Reload the page after installing the extension and press Start recording again. |
The downloaded test says Cannot find module '@playwright/test' | Run npm i -D @playwright/test in the folder with the file, then npx playwright install chromium. |
The downloaded test says Set STEPTRAIL_SECRET_... | The flow had a password or upload. The top of the file lists the settings to set before running. |
Cannot find package 'playwright-core' | Run npm install in the steptrails folder. |
Executable doesn't exist | Run npx playwright-core install chromium. |
page mismatch: expected ... found ... | The site sent you elsewhere, often a login page. Record with Include session values, or log in first. |
element not found | The page changed since recording. Record again, or open the HTML report to see the screenshot. |
masked value needs a secret | Supply the password through STEPTRAIL_SECRETS. See Replay. |
upload needs file paths | Supply STEPTRAIL_FILES. |
The extension is out of date after git pull | Click the reload arrow on StepTrail Recorder in the extensions page. |
