Check out the new open source Chrome Extension for generating tests for Cypress.io, Playwright and Puppeteer. Contributors welcomed!
Congrats on the extension! We launched something similar recently to easily generate test scripts for Playwright/Puppeteer (Cypress coming soon) - cool to see more extension in this space and the different UX takes! :)

As for Cypress support - heard a lot from the community feedback this time around! I'd keep an eye on https://github.com/DeploySentinel/Recorder/issues/5 and give it an upvote and I'll make sure to keep that issue up to date as we look into it :)

Show HN: Autogenerate Playwright and Puppeteer test scripts from the browser
I've tried using the built-in recorder myself a bit while it was in Canary, and here's my take:
- The experimental Chrome recorder is only for Puppeteer, so if you like Playwright, you're out of luck. (imo Playwright's ergonomics are way more refined than Puppeteer has and is the way we'd want to be writing tests in the future)
- The Chrome recorder introduces a _ton!_ of boilerplate code that's really bulky to work around if you want to maintain the tests yourself afterwards. I'm not sure what workflow the creators envisioned when they initially created the test generation system.
- You have to save the code to a file with the built-in recorder, you can't just copy and paste it into your editor, which is frustrating to me, especially if you're trying to record 1 new test into an existing file with a suite of tests.
- It lacks a few events you can create using the DeploySentinel recorder such as hover events, capturing screenshots, awaiting/asserting on text.
I think there's a few pros/cons to different tools out there, I've put together a side-by-side comparison here: https://github.com/DeploySentinel/Recorder#alternatives-comp...
The chrome built-in recorder is finally on Chrome stable recently, I'd say you should try it out, and then try out DeploySentinel recorder.
If you love the Chrome built-in one more, I'd love to hear what you think is missing!

GPL vs MIT.
Or when the maintainer of this project whined and cried because Amazon forked it and offered it as a service. Amazon pointed at the MIT license and shrugged.
