highlight (locator) - Selenium IDE (classic) command

The highlight command was defined as Highlight the specified element. Briefly changes the background Color of the specified element to yellow. Useful for debugging. With the UI.Vision RPA IDE this commands is not needed as IDE highlights all found elements by default. You can disable the automatic highlighting during replay in the settings.

highlight

highlight Example

The example below does not contain any highlight command - but the elements defined by the locators of click and assertText are automatically highlighted during replay. For debugging macros, note that you can also reduce the replay speed in the IDE settings.
