In the version of PROOF before Turing 10.2.10.3632, there was the ability in the New Web Locator screen to generate a xpath for an element using text and tags. That feature is gone in the current version.

I tried to use the Gutenberg (Smart XPath/CSS Generation Engine) plugin but it is blocked by our OIT Admin, same as trying to import the plugin's zip file. please assist.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for reaching out to us. We appreciate your loyalty and want to inform you about an important change regarding one of our features.

The feature for generating XPaths from the locator has been deprecated. We understand that this may inconvenience you, but we believe this change will help us provide a better experience in the long run. 

Moving forward, we kindly ask you to use the Chrome web store extensions as an alternative to the deprecated feature and this will allow you to generate more enhanced XPaths using Subject7 Recorder and Gutenberg (Smart XPath engine).

Since the extensions are blocked as we can see by the screenshots you provided, you will need to have IT whitelist the extension ids in the Group Policy to allow Subject7 users to install the plugins. I am sending you a document that describes the reasoning behind this.

We value your continued support and look forward to assisting you further.

Regards,
Subject7 Team
