Recording Limitations – Operations and Elements That Cannot Be Recorded

When creating a test scenario with Autify, some operations or elements may not be recorded as expected. This document outlines the types of actions and target elements that cannot be recorded. If your actions are not being recorded as intended, please refer to the following information.

Selecting the Same Value Again

When selecting a value from a list, if the same value that is already selected is chosen again, the step “Select a value from a list” will not be recorded.
For more details, please refer to the documentation: Select a value from a list.

Required Events Not Triggered

Autify’s recorder captures specific HTML events—such as input, change, and click—in order to reproduce user actions accurately.
If the event propagation is blocked (e.g., by event.preventDefault() within an event handler), the action may not be recorded.
Even in such cases, it may be possible to work around the issue by using a custom JavaScript step. Feel free to contact our support team for assistance.

Target Element Outside `<body>`

Elements must be located within the <body> tag of the HTML document in order to be recorded.
If the target element exists outside the <body> tag—for example, directly under <html> or dynamically inserted into the <head>—it will not be recorded, as these are out of scope for Autify’s recorder.
