Selenium Core 0.8.2 testing framework - fixing bug of pause/continue button not working properly

I was using this nifty web application testing framework (opensource) for a while before the following bug became intolerable, and I searched for a solution on google. Hopefully this blog post will save you some trouble:

After pressing the pause button, pressing continue doesn't actually resume the run, but only does a single "step" and stops again!

How to solve this bug? Edit the file /scripts/selenium-testrunner.js and find the function reset extending the object HtmlTestRunnerControlPanel, around line 345.

Remove the comment on the line:

// this.runInterval = this.speedController.value;

=>

this.runInterval = this.speedController.value;


Voila! Pressing continue should now run smoothly.

p.s.

1. Apparently they already fixed this in the trunk:

2. This is the entry in the openqa forum where I found the solution: http://forums.openqa.org/thread.jspa?threadID=6163
