Sahi : File:// protocol support in Sahi

Question

I am evaluating Sahi for automation. My requirement is to automate a web application that is static and based on Html and JavaScript. I tried to record the test but it did not happen.

file:///C:/Automation/welcome.html

But Sahi doesn't record it. I saw on [url]http://sahi.sourceforge.net/using.html[/url] site that only ##Keep "Use the same proxy for all protocol" unchecked as Sahi does not understand protocols other than HTTP##

Does File:// or other protocols support is not been provided yet? Please let me know is there any alternative Sahi provides for such requirement? I could not find it on any forum, please help. Thanks

Answer 1

Please use a webserver to open your pages and then access it through Sahi. Sahi will not able to automate pages with the file protocol.

Answer 2

You can use WAMP or XAMPP server in your system, and then put the html file in the local server directory and after that you can access your html page by http://localhost:port/welcome.html and then you can use Sahi Pro for recording and playback.

Instead of WAMP or XAMPP, you can use EasyPhp too.
