Selenium ide usage with internet explorer - selenium-ide

I want to clarify the thing that whether i can record the web application in internet explorer using selenium ide. I am able to record it in mozilla firefox but my question is whether i can do the same in internet explorer

You cannot record it within the IDE using IE, because the IDE is only a Firefox plugin.
You will, however, be able to export the tests from the IDE to a particular language (say, Java) and then use WebDriver to playback those tests on IE, but this is not recording.

Cannot watch expressions of GWT under debug mode in Eclipse

I am using GWT 2.8 with GWT plugin v.3 and Tomcat 8 in Eclipse.
When I debug the project, breakpoints are working fine, but I can't watch expression, it shows reference error.
Does anyone has the same issue?
I read some related question which says using Google Plugin will be fine, but Google Plugin doesn't support Java 8.
Why it happens and how I solve it?
With GWT 2.8 and SuperDev Mode you have to change your debugging habbits a bit. On the server side the things stay the same, but on the client side you have to use the browser for debugging. Use GWT.debugger to add breakpoints in the code or set JS breakpoints in your browsers developer tools.
You also have to use the developer tools to see the expressions. Keep in mind to turn on source maps in your browser preferences. Eventually you have to use the -noincremental parameter in your run configuration to see the java variables.

How can I debug a GWT project in eclipse?

I have a GWT-Maven project and I want to debug it. I have not any Idea about debug in development mode or production mode. so I am giving some step which I did.
I deploy the war file on tomcat6 liferay server.
now I set a break point on server side(its work perfect)
when I set break point on client its not workig.
so is there is any way to debug GWT client on development or production mode.
I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly, but GWT is compiled into JS. Take a look at sourceMaps, I believe that's what you're looking for.
You should use the debugger of your browser. Chrome is best for this.
Launch your GWT app.
Press F12 to open developer tools.
Select "sources" tab
In the tree on the left open "Title of your page (xxxx.html)"
Below this you will see source maps with all your packages.
Open the java file you wish to put a breakpoint in and set a breakpoint using Chrome.
Doing client side GWT debugging in Eclipse is afaik not possible. But for me the Chrome debugger is more than enough.
I think IntelliJ can do client side debugging for GWT from whitin IntelliJ itself (for the paid version of IntelliJ).

GWT SuperDev - Can't find GWT Modules

I have followed the steps given on this page - getting-started-with-the-superdevmode
but I am still getting message - Can't find any GWT Modules on this page. I did some more googling but could not find any solution until now.
I am using GWT 2.6.1 and eclipse kepler 64 bit on ubuntu.
Here are the steps I did.
Created a new Web app project for GAE, using GWT 2.6.1 and GAE sdk 1.9.6.
Go to Run configurations. Create a new configuration for a "Java Application". Change the main class, Argument and add jar file as shown in the screenshot.
Check the apps .gwt.xml file. It already has <add-linker name="xsiframe"/>. I have tried adding devModeRedirectEnabled property also. It did not help.
GWT compile the project.
Run the application as Web application. Default jetty config serves the application at
http://localhost:8888/SuperDev.html.
I opened up this page in firefox. I can see the page content.
Launch the Java application configuration. It does compile again and gives a success message and tells me to launch
http://localhost:9876/
I opened it in firefox and it shows -
Dragged Dev Mode On to firefox's bookmark. And clicked.
I get the message - Can't find any GWT Modules on this page.
Following are the configurations for my superdev mode java app. Did I miss anything?
You need to click the bookmarklet when viewing your compiled web app.
The last steps should therefore be:
Dragged Dev Mode On to firefox's bookmark.
Switched back to my application at http://localhost:8888/SuperDev.html and clicked the bookmark
Once you have the bookmarklets, you actually don't really need to open http://localhost:9876 anymore (you'll find compile logs there, and can browser your code, including the code generated by GWT generators; so it can still be useful).
I tried to do it with Eclipse Oxygen, Java7 (for run application, for oxygen you have to have java 8), and GWT Eclipse Plugin 3.0.0.
In such an environment all you need to do is:
On project right click > Debug As > GWT Legacy Development Mode with Jetty.
PS:
you have to have address like this
http://127.0.0.1:8888/StockWatcher.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997
NOT like :http://127.0.0.1:8888/StockWatcher.html
After openning addres you must additionally install the plugin in the browser - you will be asked for it
It work on IE11

Eclipse / Aptana 3 : Launching wrong browser

I just installed the Aptana Studio 3 plugin on my installation of Eclipse Juno, and attempted to use a portable install of Firefox to debug with, so that my general browsing install wouldn't get mucked up with a billion debugging features I don't need.
I set Eclipse's Window->Preferences->General->Web Browser to use this new portable install, but... it's still trying to launch my other install of Firefox. ("Please close down to complete installation" or whatever. I know the portable one isn't running.)
I just cannot get it to launch to the right browser. Firefox Portable is set up to allow multiple instances to be open, so I can get both my permanent install and my portable install to work at the same time, but Eclipse is trying to open the wrong installation.
I've tried restarting eclipse, closing Firefox , both internal/external web browser options on the web browser page, and even rebooting the whole computer. There are no other references to Firefox in the Eclipse settings that I can find.
... Help?
Apparently that particular setting only affects browsing in the integrated browser, not running and debugging web applications.
The setting that needs to be modified for running/debugging is in the run/debug configurations. Why that doesn't by default automatically use the default browser set in the preferences page is beyond me.
In order to get Eclipse/Aptana to open the correct browser when debugging and running web applications, do this:
In the Project Manager, r-click on the project and go to Run As -> Run Configurations... and under 'Web Browser' in the left pane, either edit the default one or add a new run configuration. I just replaced the standard 'Firefox - Internal Server' entry.
In the Web Browser field, either type in the full path to the browser executable (in my case FirefoxPortable.exe), or click 'Browse' and browse to the executable.
That should do it. and now it's doing what I would expect it to.

IDE Breakpoints for GWT 2.5 SourceMaps in Chrome?

I have started using GWT 2.5 with Eclipse as my IDE. When using the debugger in Chrome, it is onerous to sort through the source file listing to set my breakpoints. It is even worse when I already have the relevant code open in Eclipse, and I have to find it in Chrome now.
Is there a way to set a breakpoint in Eclipse, and make use of that in Chrome?
This seems like a natural concept given the existence of SourceMaps. If it isn't already a part of the SourceMaps specification, perhaps it should be.
That's not possible in Eclipse (yet?)
I've been told JetBrains is working on it for IntelliJ IDEA though.
If you're using Javascript, then why not just add the line
debugger;
to your code?
It should pause execution on that line, and you can do it from eclipse/whatever IDE you're using.
