Support in answering WebDriver-related questions (Chrome DevTools, XPath, Browser debugging)

[SOLVE-SMART]

👉 Introduction

There are many questions about using the au3WebDriver project (in other words the WebDriver UDF).
Some of them are very similar and recurring, while others are extremely vague, as they often lack information (such as code, website links, website structure and so on).

💡 Idea

I came up with the idea of helping those asking questions to be more specific and valuable, so that we as a community would have an easier time answering them. A little help for self-help. The goal is also to be able to quickly refer to common questions and their answers. I'm aware that we already have an FAQ section in the wiki, but unfortunately, it often happens that this isn't sufficient for users. So, despite good preparation and explanations in the wiki, folks still have difficulty formulating their questions.

🎬 Other media / format

I am a fan of how-to articles and well written documentations, but nowadays people tend to consume a lot of video tutorials, instead of using the classic media. That's why I decided to create a how-to video tutorial series (only two videos right now, let's see what the time will show). Similar video series exists, created by me for the members of the german AutoIt forum (WebDriver crash course) and they liked it.

⚖ Hints

I'm not interested in promoting my YouTube channel or making it grow. I do this for the community, because it's fun and as part of education for people 😇 .

🔮 Plan

To spread more knowledge about WebDriver, about browser automation tasks and similar edge topics, I plan to produce several videos which can be classified in the context mentioned. I will reference them here in the thread (because nobody have to, but you're welcome to, subscribe or activate the bell for the yt channel).

• #chrome-devtools
• #browser-debugging
• #xpath
• #webdriver

But don't expect me to upload new videos regularly, because I do this as needed and when I think a topic can add value.

In the end, it helps me at least, because I save time by avoiding writing the same statements when I reply to the thread. But I'm confident it will help others as well.

Best regards
