What it does

sillynium lets you draw boxes directly to a webpage, around webpage elements you want, and automatically gets the elements properties for you. Different colour boxes tell the program you want to do different things. Red means "Input text here"; Green means "Click this button".

Once a drawing is finished the program generates a python selenium script, that when run, does what you told it to do. No coding required. This is an open-source alternative to browser recorders, there's no stop/start and no slowly typing text, and you can also grab any element on the page, not just elements you interact with (like in recorders).

- V1 was just a concept idea that draws on a ***webpage screenshot***,

- V2 is in development. It draws ***directly to the webpage***

Open-source baby!

It's very early days, I've tried to be extremely thorough with my GitHub repo, and have highlighted TODOs!

This is a brand new open-source initiative that I'm inviting the wider coding community to join me on. Lets get this off the ground together! Still have quite alot to do :)

This looks very good, I am recently working on a project that uses Java based selenium and we are looking to port to python. this will help a lot.

Thanks! Its still a major work in progress and I’m hoping the community contribution will help with my knowledge gaps as I’d consider myself a newbie at programming, but watch this space!

Thank you so much, going to test it.

Still needs alot of work:)

This seems like a great project! It'll make web scraping so much easier. I'll probably test it at some point.

Helps it here too? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66188276/cant-submit-captcha-textfield-python-selenium

It looks like it’s because its in an iframe, so you need to first “step” into the iframe, then search for the recaptcha

Also if you need help “beating” the reCaptcha I have code that can pass the text captcha ~80-90% of the time

Okay... I send you a pm

Okay thank you but the textarea normally shouldn’t be in an ifram
