Do...Repeat If (expression) - Selenium IDE command

The part between Do and Repeat If (expression) is executed as long as the expression is true. RepeatIf uses executeScript_Sandbox to evaluate the expression. If the he expression is false, the IDE executes the immediate next command Repeat If.

UI.Vision reuses the established Selenium IDE flow control syntax

What is the difference between While... End and Do...RepeatIf?

The difference is that "While" is a top tested loop (test the condition first then do loop), but do...repeatIf is a bottom tested loop (do the loop then test the condition). So in worst case scenario, the loop instructions inside the while are not be executed at all, but the loop instructions inside repeat loop are always executed at least once.

Note that UI.Vision and Selenium IDE use RepeatIf and not RepeatUntil as in some other scripting languages.

Do/RepeatIf Example

The example below is very basic.

Command Target Pattern/Text
echo This command is executed once!
Repeat If 100 < 5
