I have downloaded the extension that was why I managed to be able to record the test, when I tried to export the test, it said I need to install extension ... Seems like there are some rooms for improvements. I DO very much appreciate all of your hard work to make it possible, since you had dedicated time on this anyways, please make sure it works as ***you*** had expected. Thanks!

This extension modifies the existing recorder tool in chrome devtools to allow the export of recordings in the webdriverIO test format. Very useful in getting started with test steps that you can modify after you have exported the webdriverIO script. Especially if you are just getting started with webdriverIO. Absolutely DO recommend this extension. Some things to consider- 1. The recorder is very sensitive with key presses so it will generate a lot of test steps that you might not need (such as when entering in text into fields) and it can be tedious to manually remove these steps individually from the test. This is NOT an issue with the extension, it's just a limitation of the base recording feature provided by chrome devtools. 2. The default selectors (XPATH, CSS) used by the recorder might not work when you try to import these into your local webdriverIO project. Take care to check your selectors if you want to run tests in your project. 3. Running tests directly from the Recorder may work for your situation. However the purpose of this extension is that you can export steps in the webdriverIO format to run locally and quickly prototype tests. 4. You cannot re-start a recording after you have stopped it, so be sure you are capturing all the actions you want before ending a test. If you need to get more test steps after ending a recording, you can start a new recording from where you left off, then merge any exported test steps in your webdriverIO project.
