First off, you should get away from the IDE if you are wanting more robust test-writing like flash. For your login issue, this is simple.
Using the getting started with selenium framework your test would look like:
@Config(url="http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/pd/air-max-2014-running-shoe/pid-830258/pgid-774364")
public class NikeTest extends AutomationTest {
@Test
public void testNike() {
click (By.cssSelector("div.login.nav-section > a"))
.setText(By.cssSelector("form[name='login-form] input[name='email']"), "<My Username>")
.setText(By.cssSelector("form[name='login-form] input[name='password']"), "<My Password>")
.click (By.cssSelector("form[name='login-form] button.exp-login-submit")
// now we're logged in.
// let's select a size of shoe.
.click (By.cssSelector("div.exp-pdp-size-and-quantity-container > a.exp-pdp-size-dropdown") // now it's expanded.
.selectOptionByText(By.cssSelector("select[name='skuAndSize']"), "10.5") // you can replace 10.5 with whatever option you need.
}
}
Those are some CSS selectors you can use. Also per your Flash thing, i think you're out of luck buddy.. I hadn't heard of any very successful solution with automating flash.
One key thing here:
Make sure you know what element is receiving the click. Selenium IDE doesn't do a great job determining WHAT exact element is receiving the click. My guess is that it was trying either the <div>
or <li>
when it's the <a>
that actually makes the dropdown come down.
