Release Notes: if/else, time zones

Kevin Carroll October 2, 2023

This week, we released if/else logic and the ability to set the time zone your cases run in.

We have released the ability to use the if/else logic for complex scenarios with more than one possible outcome. The “if-else block” which allows multiple conditions and multiple commands per condition.

Here are the scenarios it can be used in:

if page contains "some text"
  click "some text"
  click "some button"
end

if page contains "some text"
  click "some text"
else 
  click "some other text"
end

if page contains "some text"
  click "some text"
  click "some button"
else if page contains button "unfollow"
  click "unfollow"
else if page contains button "follow"
  click "follow"
else 
  click "some other text"
end

if page contains "some text"
  click "some button"
else 
  wait 10 sec
  clean up
end

We created a new setting for timezone in Settings -> Advanced. The default value is PST. This new setting changes the timezone in which test cases will run. It also determines the times that will be generated for built-in variables. It works on all browsers/OS’s and mobile.

We also added 3 new built-in variables:

nowHourAmPm (2 pm)
nowHourTwoDigitsAmPm (02 pm)
nowAmPm (pm)
