Hello I'm recording some testcases in IDE and when i'm clicking on Links he always records

link="test". Is there a possibility to set the recorder to XPath? So that I don't need to enter code like //a\[@name='testlink'\] ?

Thanks

...

I'm testing a multi language web page and don't wanna create testcases for every language. So I need XPath to identify them.

And I know, that i can select the XPath form the dropdown while i'm recording. So the IDE knows it but uses the link='test' per default.

It's described here:

http://wiki.openqa.org/display/SIDE/Writing+extensions

Changing a variable called "LocatorBuilders.order" will change the order of the locator.

Thanks for the Answers. Works fine for me

@guai00 and all others who wants to know how it works:

1. Create a File (for example extension.js) open it in an Editor and

2. type somthing like this 
    
        LocatorBuilders.order = \['id', 'name', 'link', 'dom:name', 'xpath:attributes', 'xpath:img', 'xpath:link','xpath:href', 'dom:index', 'xpath:position'\];

3. youcan change the order or leave something out.

4. When opening IDE select - options -> options... -> general -> selenium IDE extension -> browse -> select the file and restart.

And then it should work
