Description

Use the CloudWatch Synthetics Recorder extension to automatically record the type and click actions that you take on your web site and convert these actions to a Node.js script. You can then use the script to create a canary in Amazon Cloudwatch Synthetics. CloudWatch Synthetics canaries are configurable scripts that run on a schedule to monitor your endpoints and APIs. Canaries can follow the same routes and perform the same actions as a customer, which makes it possible for you to continually verify your customer experience even when you don't have any customer traffic on your applications. For more information about CloudWatch Synthetics, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/CloudWatch_Synthetics_Canaries.html. By default this extension will have access to record any webpage. If you wish to scope down these permissions to only allow specific webpages to be recorded, refer to the following Chrome Web Store support page: https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769. By installing or using this extension, you agree that your installation and use of this extension is governed by https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/ or other agreement between you and AWS governing your use of our services. Credits: CloudWatch Synthetics Recorder is based on the Headless recorder(https://github.com/checkly/headless-recorder).

It would have been useful if the tool had worked correctly. My team and I tried to use but the recorder seems to have issues with special characters such as : and it did not record xpath correctly. So it does give you a shell of what you need but you would need to manually clean up. I thought other recorders like Katalon recorder did a much better job of recording. So we have only started using Canary with API and checked specific urls rather than end to end testing.
